Just like your car, all automated systems require annual servicing to ensure they operate correctly & safely and to protect the investment you have made. An annual service can allow us to spot any little niggles with your system and identify any equipment that needs attention to prevent a total failure of the system before it happens. We offer 3 levels of maintenance contract, individually tailored to each client, to meet their budget and requirements. All our maintenance agreement customers have priority over our non-contract customers.

During a service, we can also check all the safety equipment installed on the system, to ensure it is working correctly and complies with the HSE guidelines for gate safety. Please see bulletins below for information on the safety of automated gate systems.

Do I need a Service?

The same question from all of our customers is asked when we hand over a finished installation and that is "how often does it require a service" I would love to say that your system has been designed to become virtually maintenance free, that statement isnt far from the truth if we were to remove any external influence such as the enviorement and mother nature.

All servicing and repairs visits will be scheduled to your convenience and depending on the equipment installed one or two visits per year will be arranged. The service covers the cost of labour and minor service parts only.

Should any new or additional work be required during the service we will discuss this with you and provide a cost for the work involved. All parts used come with a parts and labour warranty, subject to our standard terms and conditions.

We are able to offer a repair service on automatic systems not installed by ourselves, subject to visiting the site and assessing the equipment and access control in use. A charge may be made for this visit subject to the time and distance of travel.
