Complete Automatic Swing Gate Installation and Repair Services
Our comprehensive approach covers every aspect of swing gate systems from initial design through ongoing maintenance. We handle both new installations and repairs for existing systems regardless of original manufacturer.
New Swing Gate Installation
Professional swing gate installation begins with site assessment to verify adequate clearance and level surfaces required for proper operation. We install heavy-duty hinges and mounting posts designed to handle the mechanical stress of daily automated operation.
Our certified electricians handle all electrical connections according to local codes while ensuring proper grounding and surge protection. Installation includes programming of safety features, remote controls, and access codes tailored to your specific security requirements.
Motor and Operator Repair
Swing gate motors require regular maintenance and occasional repair to maintain reliable operation under varying weather conditions and usage patterns. We diagnose motor problems using specialized testing equipment to identify issues with control boards, wiring connections, and mechanical components.
Our technicians carry common replacement parts to complete most motor repairs during the initial service call. Professional motor repairs include recalibration of force settings and safety features to ensure continued compliance with UL 325 standards.
Hinge and Hardware Restoration
Swing gate hinges endure significant mechanical stress and require periodic adjustment, lubrication, and replacement to maintain smooth operation. We inspect and service all mounting hardware including posts, brackets, and pivot points that support gate weight and movement.
Professional hardware restoration includes rust removal, protective coating application, and replacement of worn components with upgraded materials. Regular hardware maintenance prevents premature failure and extends the operational lifespan of your swing gate system.
Safety System Calibration
Modern swing gates include multiple safety features that require precise calibration to protect people and vehicles while maintaining reliable operation. We test and adjust photo-eye sensors, pressure sensors, and automatic reverse mechanisms to ensure proper response times and sensitivity levels.
Safety system maintenance includes cleaning sensor lenses, verifying alignment, and replacing components that show signs of weather damage or wear. Professional calibration ensures your swing gate meets current safety standards while providing dependable daily operation.
