Common Issues We Identify During Inspections
We often find specific problems that affect gate performance and safety. These issues usually fall into electrical, mechanical, or sensor-related categories. Identifying them early helps us keep gates working smoothly and securely.
Electrical System Failures
We regularly spot problems in the gate’s electrical system during inspections. These include faulty wiring, loose connections, and worn-out circuit boards. Such issues can cause intermittent power loss or complete gate failure.
Burnt-out fuses and damaged transformers are common as well. They often result from power surges or poor maintenance. We also check the control panel for signs of corrosion or moisture damage, as these can lead to malfunctions.
Regular inspection of wiring and electrical components reduces the risk of sudden breakdowns. Our goal is to ensure consistent power and reliable control for your gate system at all times.
Mechanical Wear and Tear
Gates have many moving parts that wear out over time. We often find broken springs, rusted hinges, and misaligned rollers during inspections. These wear issues cause noisy operation and may stop the gate from opening or closing fully.
Chains and gears can become slack or stripped, affecting gate speed and smoothness. We also look for bent or damaged gate arms that affect alignment. Lubrication problems are common and can quickly lead to increased wear.
Addressing mechanical wear early helps prevent costly repairs. We make sure all parts move freely and operate as designed to extend the life of your gate system.
Sensor and Access Control Issues
Sensors and access controls are critical for gate safety and convenience. We often detect dirty or misaligned photo eyes during inspections. These sensors can fail to detect vehicles or people, posing safety risks.
Remote control receivers might lose signal or have damaged antennas. We also test keypads and intercom systems for damage or programming errors that prevent proper access.
We carefully check each sensor and control to ensure they respond correctly and securely. Fixing these issues maintains reliable gate operation and prevents unauthorized entry.
Our Inspection Process
We carefully check every part of your automatic gate to find any problems. Our methods, tools, and clear reports make sure nothing is missed and you understand what needs to be fixed.
Detailed Evaluation
We begin with a thorough physical examination of the gate structure. This includes checking hinges, welds, and the frame for damage or wear.
Next, we test the gate’s movement. We watch for unusual noises, slow response, or stops that indicate motor or sensor issues.
We also inspect electrical connections and wiring for corrosion or shorts. Safety features like photo eyes and safety edges are tested to ensure they work properly.
Our goal is to find early signs of failure to avoid future breakdowns.
Diagnostic Tools and Technology
We use specialized tools to check your gate’s electrical system. This includes multimeters to measure voltage and current flow.
Thermal cameras help us spot overheating parts that may fail soon. We also use diagnostic software to read error codes from smart gate controllers.
For mechanical checks, we use tension meters on springs and torque gauges on bolts. These tools give precise data that helps us decide if parts need repair or replacement.
Technology helps us work faster and be more accurate.
Reporting and Documentation
After inspection, we provide a detailed report showing what we found. The report includes photos, test results, and clear descriptions.
We organize the report into sections: structural issues, electrical faults, and safety concerns. Each problem has a priority level to help you plan repairs.
Our reports are easy to read. We explain technical terms in simple language so you understand exactly what needs to be done.
Documentation also keeps a record for future inspections and warranty purposes.
