Types of Gates We Repair

Bi-folding Speed Gates

Automatic bi-fold speed gates are an ideal option for domestic and commercial sites where space is limited, but security and traffic management still need to be well-controlled. With a shorter swing path compared to traditional swing gates, as well as fast operating systems, these speed gates will efficiently keep your site secure. Whether hinges have become worn or functionality has haltered, we’ll be ready to repair.

Cantilever Sliding Gates

Cantilever sliding gates are the perfect security measure for your commercial site and its assets. These robust gates are easy to operate, come in multiple sizes, and their aluminium frames are highly resistant to corrosion. However, even with these benefits, they often undergo stress during operation, which can lead to various issues that need repairing and more frequent maintenance to ensure the rail systems stay safe and functional.

Hinged Swing Gates

If your site has slightly smaller dimensions with space at a premium, hinged swing gates could be the perfect answer. Popular for domestic properties and used in certain commercial sites with ample space, this automatic gate opens and closes via hinges and is available in a wide range of designs. We offer full-service maintenance programmes that are designed to keep your gates operating smoothly, without hassle, and provide repairs no matter the scale of the issue.

+ What Happens When an Electric Gate Battery Dies?

When an electric gate battery dies, the gate may fail to open or close properly. The repair will require a compatible replacement battery to be fitted and tested to ensure functionality. It’s always best to contact a professional to ensure proper installation and avoid potential damage to the gate’s system.

When designed and installed properly, the life expectancy of an automatic gate typically ranges from 10 to 20 years.
