Why service a gate

A serviced gate is cheaper than an emergency call-out.

Gate motors, wheels, hinges and batteries wear out gradually. A service catches that wear early, keeps the safety devices working, and avoids being locked in or out when something finally gives way.

What does a gate service include?

Checking and adjusting the motor, gearbox, limits and force settings; wheels, track, rollers and hinges; safety beams and obstacle detection; remotes, keypads and intercoms; battery backup and manual release; and a written note of anything that needs attention.

Is the on-site maintenance report free?

Yes, for owners corporations, body corporates and commercial sites. RJL inspects every gate, boom gate, bollard and access point, then gives you a written report with photos, a status for each asset and a priority for each fix.
