How often you should service your gate, will depend on how many cycles the gates perform i.e. this is the number of times your electric gate opens and closes (cycles). Generally speaking, low usage residential electric driveway gates should be serviced at least 1-2 times per year, medium usage automated car park gates for an apartment block should be serviced at least 3 times per year, and heavy usage commercial automatic gate openers require the most frequent amounts of servicing of at least 4 times of maintenance per year. Our preventative maintenance service includes inspection and lubrication of mechanical components, and inspection and testing of safety-related devices in line with current guidance from the HSE and the Powered Gate Group of the Door and Hardware Federation. In accordance with the DHF Best Practice Guide, all of our engineers are DHF (Door & Hardware Federation) approved and are 17th edition qualified electricians.
