Make sure your gate is in the right place

Before installing a new gate system, Gate Repair Valencia experts remind you to check the area around where the gate would be installed. There should be enough room for a car to pull off the main road while waiting for the gate to open. It can be unsafe for a car to stop in the middle of the road while a gate is opening.

Emergency features of residential gates

Modern gate openers should include a feature that lets you open an electronically powered gate manually, from the outside, in the event that your system breaks down. This is a standard feature on all modern gate opener systems, but if you have an older one, you should check to make sure you have it. In the event that your electric gate won’t open, you need to be able to get it open yourself.

Adding support cables to gates

Ideally a support cable should start at the top of the gate on the side near the hinges and go down towards to the side. Cables tend to stretch over time, so it's best to install a turnbuckle that can be easily tightened as the cable stretches.

Working of your automatic gate?

An electric gate motor is the device that allows your automatic gate to open and close without manually pushing the gate. It is the reason behind how an automatic gate gives you the convenience in leaving or entering your property without getting out of your car.

When replacement is already necessary

For most experts in gate repair, homeowners or property owners who have gates are mostly not competent enough in assessing whether or not their gate or gate opener needs to be replaced. Many will rely on the opinion of a gate contractor. This is why it is important to choose a reputable gate company to get honest and competent recommendations.
