Electric gate maintenance should include, but not be limited to the following items.

Leaving your automatic gate system without maintaining it can cause premature failure. And in a worst-case scenario, failure and potential injury to users.

Maintenance is especially recommended in systems with underground operators as they are prone to filling with water and debris. If not cleaned out regularly the foundation boxes become can corrode and then fail. Replacement of these foundation boxes is an expensive job as it often requires the driveway to be excavated.
