DIY: Automatic Door Maintenance - How to Maintain your Gate Operator



Installing and using automatic gate operators is easy. Gate operators simplify your life and keep your home or business safe. However, what about when something goes wrong? Are you a do it yourselfer that likes to tackle problems around your home or office?

Learning how to maintain your gate operator is essential to its longevity and your peace of mind. No one wants to head out for a day or leave for vacation and learn that the automatic gate protecting their home or business is no longer operating.

Actually, automatic gates and openers are relatively easy to maintain. They don’t need a lot of work and typically, when there is a problem, fixing the gate is not too labor intensive. So, all you do-it-yourselfers can breathe a sigh of relief!

3 Simple Maintenance Tips for Your Automated Gate System

  1. Keep silicone spray on hand. An important element in maintaining your gate system is to make sure that the drive shaft that goes into the arm doesn’t freeze during the colder months. Use silicone spray on the arm to prevent freezing and headaches for you.
  2. Grease those hinges. It is essential to keep the hinges on swing gates lubed for a properly running gate system. You will want to grease the hinges several times throughout the year. Be sure to also inspect the hinges while applying grease to make note of any damage or need for replacement parts. Also, if you have a chain drive slide gate make sure that the chains are tight and greased so they work properly to open your gate.
  3. Access control systems and batteries need maintenance too. Don’t forget about the control system for your gates. Inspect the control system at least once a year to make sure that it’s in proper working order. Clean keypads and phone systems with proper contact cleaner. Inspect and tighten radio receiver antennas. And don’t forget to change the batteries in your wireless keypads.

Be sure to clean off your solar panels several times a year if you are powering your gate by solar power. This ensures their correct operation and will charge your batteries properly.

Maintaining your property’s automatic gate system is one of the easiest things to do. You can make sure that your system will be running in optimal performance when you do consistent inspections and keep your gate greased.

  29. How Lemeridian funding service  grant me a loan!!!

    Hello everyone, I'm Lea Paige Matteo from Zurich Switzerland and want to use this medium to express gratitude to lemeridian funding service for fulfilling his promise by granting me a loan, I was stuck in a financial situation and needed to refinance and pay my bills as well as start up a Business. I tried seeking for loans from various loan firms both private and corporate organisations but never succeeded and most banks declined my credit request. But as God would have it, I was introduced by a friend named Lisa Rice to Le_meridian funding service and undergone the due process of obtaining a loan from the company, to my greatest surprise within 48hrs just like my friend Lisa, I was also granted a loan of $216,000.00 So my advise to everyone who desires a loan, "if you must contact any firm with reference to securing a loan online with low interest rate of 1.9% and better repayment plans/schedule, please contact Le_meridian funding service. Besides, he doesn't know that am doing this but due to the joy in me, I'm so happy and wish to let people know more about this great company whom truly give out loans, it is my prayer that GOD should bless them more as they put smiles on peoples faces. You can contact them via email on {lfdsloans@lemeridianfds.com Or lfdsloans@outlook.com} or Text through Whatsapp +1-989 394 3740.
