Preventive Maintenance

Scheduled tune-ups that keep gates and doors out of emergency service.

Scheduled tune-ups for residential, HOA and commercial gates, doors and access equipment.

A maintenance visit covers lubrication, fastener torque, alignment, safety-device testing and operator diagnostics — the small items that turn into emergency calls when ignored.

Property managers receive a written condition report after each visit so budgeting for replacement is planned rather than reactive.

Why gates need scheduled service

A gate on a shared driveway can run hundreds of cycles a week
Coastal air corrodes hinges, chains and fasteners faster than most owners expect
Safety devices drift out of alignment gradually and silently
Battery backup units age whether or not they are ever called on
Access credentials accumulate long after the people holding them have moved on
Small alignment problems become frame and footing problems if left

What a service visit covers

We cycle the gate manually with the operator disconnected to feel for binding, drag and hinge wear before any adjustment is made.

Hinges, rollers, chains, tracks and footings are inspected and serviced, and fasteners re-checked along the frame.

The operator is checked properly: motor current draw, limits, travel timing, control board condition and battery backup health.

Safety devices — photo-eyes, safety loops and reversing force — are tested against how they should behave, and access hardware, keypads and credential lists are reviewed with you.

Service plans

Residential annual: One visit a year for a single-home gate.
Semi-annual: For coastal properties and gates in heavy daily use.
HOA and multi-family: All community entries covered on one coordinated schedule.
Commercial high-cycle: Quarterly or more frequent, based on actual cycle counts.
Combined gate and garage door: Everything on the property checked in a single visit.

What affects the scope and the price

Number of gates and entries on the property
Daily cycle count and duty class
Age and type of operator and access hardware
Coastal or dusty exposure
Whether parts are replaced during the visit or quoted separately

What's included

Quarterly, semi-annual and annual plans
Written condition reports
Priority emergency response for plan holders
Safety-device compliance checks

Between service visits

Keep the swing or slide path clear. Gravel, mulch creep and irrigation heads cause most of the drag we find.

Report new noises early. A gate that has started to grumble is telling you about the repair you can still schedule instead of the one you cannot.
