Gate Installation and Repair Services in North Dallas

Troubleshooting

 

If your gate has stopped working, there are a few things you can do yourself.

 

• No Power - Check the gate's electrical breaker to ensure its turned on. If you don't have a dedicated breaker for the gate or you don't know where it is, look for signs that your operator has power. For example: Listen for a clicking noise coming from the operator when you press your remote.

• Obstructions - Check for obstructions blocking the gate's movement. If this is the case, your motor might need to be reset.

 

If none of these suggestions fixed the issue, it's time to call in a professional. More damage can be done if the gate operator is worked on by someone without the knowledge and expertise of how they work.

 

Gate Opener Maintenance

 

Service is suggested if any of the following occur:

 

• The chain is very loose

• If when the gate opens or closes, it slams against the post.

• If a grinding or squeaking noise is heard

• The gate moves slower than it used to

 

In any case we recommended having your gate serviced at least once a year, depending on frequency of use.

 

Servicing

 

Servicing your gate should include the following:

 

• Adjustments to chain tension

• Lubricate Hinges, chains, guide rollers and wheels

• Monitoring of gate's travel time

• Confirmation that all safety devices, if present, function properly

• Confirm gate movement is free and surrounding environment is nice and clean.
