As we face colder weather, it’s important to prioritise safety when it comes to your electric gate. Don’t forget to perform regular and basic maintenance checks on your gate.
🚧 Ensure your photocells are frost-free – as any obstruction can prevent the gate from opening and closing properly, putting safety at risk.
❄️ Remember to check the safety on the gate and that it is working as normal. Pressure sensors behave differently in the cold; they might need more force to operate effectively.
🔧 Keep hinges lubricated to prevent freezing, but only do so in dry conditions.
❄️Make sure that any snow / ice build-up is cleared from swing and sliding gates to enable safe and reliable operation.
Always seek out a suitably trained and competent professional to check the gate is safe and to carry out required (six-monthly minimum) regular maintenance checks.
