Frequently asked questions
How quickly can emergency automatic gate repairs typically be completed?
In emergencies, our team is typically at your property within 60-90 minutes. Most critical repairs are completed the same day, often within 2-4 hours of our arrival.
How do I troubleshoot a sliding gate that keeps beeping and won’t move?
A sliding door that beeps but doesn’t move indicates a safety jam. The direct causes and solutions are:
Mechanical Obstruction: The most common cause. Clear the door track of stones, leaves, or debris and check that the wheels are not stuck or broken.
Misaligned Sensors: The safety sensors (photocells) on the sides of the opening must be perfectly aligned and clean; if their indicator light flashes, adjust them until they remain on.
Electrical Failure: Check the circuit breakers and, if your system has one, the backup battery, as low voltage causes error beeps.
Lost Memory: If the “travel limits” (the open/closed positions) have been erased, the door will beep; consult your model’s manual to reset them.
Internal Failure: If all of the above fails, the motor or control board may be damaged and require a specialized technician.
What are common reasons an electric driveway gate stops opening?
Remote Control: Dead batteries are the most common reason; replace them. The remote may also need reprogramming or be damaged.
Power and Fuses: Check that the circuit breaker has not tripped in the electrical panel and that the drive unit’s power cable is properly connected.
Safety Sensors: Misaligned or dirty photocells at the base of the posts will block operation; align and clean them so the light beam is continuous.
Obstructions and Mechanics: Any obstacles in the gate’s path (branches, toys) or damaged wheels and broken springs will prevent it from moving. Caution: Springs are extremely dangerous and should be repaired by a professional.
Motor or Controller Failure: If all of the above causes are ruled out, the drive unit or its control board may have failed and require professional repair or replacement.
How do I prevent track misalignment on sliding gates?
Foundation and Support: Ensure the support posts and track beam have a deep, stable foundation to resist differential sagging, which is the main cause of misalignment.
Track Cleaning: Keep the track free of debris, stones, and ice. Buildup stresses the gate and bends the track over time. Clean regularly with a brush.Lubrication: Lubricate the track and wheels with a dry product (such as silicone spray) to reduce friction and wear that contribute to uneven wear.
Wheel Adjustment: Periodically check and adjust the position of the wheels on the gate beam. They should be properly aligned and make even contact with the track to avoid pressure points.
Impact Protection: Install rubber bumpers at the ends of the travel and ensure the motor’s travel limits are properly set to prevent the gate from hitting the posts.
How quickly can emergency automatic gate repairs typically be completed?
Emergency repair times for automatic doors vary depending on the fault:
Quick Repairs (1-2 hours): Basic electrical problems (circuit breaker, fuse), repositioning of safety sensors, reprogramming of remote controls, or clearing simple obstructions in the track.
Standard Repairs (2-4 hours): Replacement of mechanical components such as gear motors, photocells, control boards, or damaged wheels, provided parts are available.
Complex Repairs (4+ hours or days): Repair or replacement of a burned-out main motor, reconstruction of a structurally damaged track, or welding of beam components. The wait time may be longer if specialized parts are required.
What safety features are essential for modern automatic gates?
Contact-Sensitive Edge: This is a rubber profile installed on the closing edge of the door. When it detects any physical pressure (such as a car or person), it sends a signal to stop and reopen the door.
Entrapment Protection: The motor is programmed to detect abnormal resistance during closing. If the door encounters an obstruction (such as a child), it will stop and reverse automatically. Force limits should be set according to safety regulations.
Manual Disconnect: Allows the door to be operated manually in the event of a power failure or emergency, ensuring an escape or access route.
Warning Lights and Buzzer: A flashing light and audible buzzer that activate before and during door movement, alerting pedestrians and drivers of its operation.
