PREVENTATIVE CARE
Owning an automatic gate offers convenience, security, and luxury—but it also requires regular maintenance to keep it running smoothly. Without proper care, even the best gate systems can experience malfunctions, security vulnerabilities, or costly breakdowns due to wear and neglect.
At Elite-Gates, we provide scheduled maintenance services designed to prevent issues before they start. For residential gates, we recommend servicing every 6 months, while apartment complexes and commercial properties should be maintained every 4 months due to higher usage.
Regular maintenance is a small investment that helps extend the life of your gate, protects your property, and ensures your system continues operating safely and reliably.

What’s Included in Our Scheduled Maintenance Visit
Our skilled technicians perform a full-system evaluation and tune-up, including:
1. Motor & Mechanical System Check
-
Inspect and tighten mounting bolts and fasteners
-
Test belts, sprockets, pulleys, and the emergency release mechanism
-
Open the motor housing to clean debris and check the gear system, drive chain, chassis, and circuit board for wear or electrical issues
-
Clean the motor housing to prevent buildup of dust, insects, or moisture
-
Grease the drive chain to ensure smooth operation and reduce friction
2. Gate Structure & Movement
-
Check gate alignment, balance, and smooth travel
-
Grease gate hinges for quiet, consistent operation
-
Remove spiderwebs, debris, and buildup that can interfere with sensors or moving parts
3. Safety & Access Devices
-
Test and verify operation of all connected components, including:
-
Underground loop sensors
-
Infrared safety beams
-
Card readers, keypads, and intercoms
-
-
Ensure all wiring and wireless signals are properly connected and responsive
Why Maintenance Matters
Just like maintaining a vehicle, routine service doesn’t guarantee your system will never have issues—but it significantly reduces the risk of sudden failures, keeps everything running efficiently, and helps you avoid expensive repairs.
Regular maintenance is often required by manufacturers to keep your warranty valid, and more importantly, it’s a smart step to protect your property and the safety of your family, guests, and vehicles.

At Elite-Gates, we take pride in our attention to detail. Our technicians bring over 80 years of combined experience to every job, using the right tools, materials, and practices to ensure your system stays in top condition.
We treat your gate like our own—because we know that a little preventive care today means a lot more peace of mind tomorrow.
