Time to fix: 30 minutes

Following these tips, you can keep your auto-gate functioning correctly and extend its lifespan. Remember that safety is crucial when working with auto-gates, so always take appropriate safety precautions when servicing your gate.

Inspect the gate: The first step in servicing your auto-gate is to inspect it for any damages or wear and tear. Check the gate's tracks, wheels, and hinges for any signs of damage, such as cracks or breaks. If you notice any damage, it's best to have a professional repair it.
Clean the gate: Use a clean cloth or brush to remove any dirt or debris that may have accumulated on the gate. Be sure to clean both sides of the gate, including the tracks, wheels, and hinges. Dirt and debris can cause the gate entrance to malfunction, so it's essential to keep it clean.
Lubricate the gate: Applying lubricant to the gate's moving parts can help prevent rust and corrosion and extend the life of your gate entrance. Use a silicone-based lubricant on the wheels, tracks, and hinges to keep them moving smoothly.
Check the remote control: If your auto-gate has a remote control, ensure the battery works correctly. Replace the battery if necessary, and ensure the remote control is clean and free from dirt or debris.
Check the safety features: Auto-gates come with safety features such as safety beams, which detect when an object is in the gate's path and prevent it from closing. Check that these safety features are working correctly and make any necessary repairs.
Test the gate: After you have completed all the steps above, it's time to test your gate to ensure it's functioning correctly. Test the gate's opening and closing functions several times, and check that the safety features are working correctly.
Schedule regular maintenance: Schedule regular maintenance with a professional to ensure your auto-gate continues to function correctly. A professional can inspect the gate, make any necessary repairs, and provide recommendations for keeping your auto gate in good condition.
