Main reasons you should hire a professional
Avoids costly future repairs
Just like your car, electric gates require maintenance and servicing to keep them in good working order.
DIY can be tempting, but it often leads to further problems and many more headaches further down the line. Electric gates have a sophisticated design making them much more complicated to fix. Professional engineers can spot any issues and repair these quickly before they become something more sinister. They understand the inner workings of electric gates and come fully equipped with the right tools. Batteries can also be checked during these services, checking how much power/charge is left before they need replacing.
Keeps you compliant with current safety standards
There are various safety guidelines for commercial and residential electric gate installation, and while your gate might have been compliant at installation, changes may have occurred since then. It’s important to understand that in the event of an accident involving an electric gate, the liability and responsibility lies with you. Making it your responsibility to ensure the safe operation and ongoing maintenance of your gates and their kit. The best way to keep your gate compliant is to have them reviewed regularly so that any additional safety measures can be detected and repaired.
Increases the lifespan
Regular servicing and maintenance help to increase the lifespan of your electric gate, keeping your gate running freely, always. Clearing away dirt and debris, lubricating any moving parts, and ensuring tracks, cables, etc., are in good condition will all be carried out during your gate service.
You’re covered if something goes wrong
The risk of something going wrong is minimised if you use a professional. And if something does go wrong, you’re also covered with guarantees on the work carried out. Attempting to fix problems yourself could put your safety at risk – these are large pieces of electrical equipment and shouldn’t be tampered with without full knowledge, training, and experience.
Hiring a professional saves you considerable time and money
Professional teams have the right tools to get the job done, so you don’t have to purchase tools that will only be used once! DIY can often make the situation worse and cost more in the long run; we also find that the results of DIY jobs aren’t always long-lasting repairs. With the team at Adfabs, we can help identify all potential problems, even the least obvious ones, keeping your gates working and safe.
How often should your gates be serviced?
This really does depend on the volume of traffic and gate usage. However, for commercial gates with heavy traffic, we would recommend a service every six months. For residential properties, an annual service will be more than adequate.
