Winter Maintenance Tips for Automatic Gate Systems
Winter weather can be tough on automatic gate systems, but regular maintenance can prevent breakdowns and extend their lifespan. Key tips include inspecting the gate for wear, rust, and debris that may freeze and cause malfunctions.
Lubricate moving parts with silicone-based lubricants to prevent stiffness caused by cold temperatures. Clear snow and ice from gate tracks and use proper drainage to prevent freezing around the motor.
Protect electrical components with weatherproof covers and ensure wiring is insulated. Test the safety sensors regularly, monitor the battery’s efficiency, and consider scheduling professional maintenance.
These steps will keep your gate functioning smoothly through winter’s harsh conditions. For more information, check out Fix N Go.
