Operators fitted to existing gates or replaced, with safety devices and access control set up correctly.
Automating a gate means more than bolting on an operator. The gate has to move freely by hand first, the operator has to suit the gate’s type, length and weight, and the safety devices — photo-eyes, safety edges and vehicle loops — have to be placed so the gate stops and reverses when something is in its path.
We fit operators to existing sliding and swing gates, replace worn-out operators, and set up the remotes, keypads and access devices you want. Before the operator goes on, we check the gate’s wheels, hinges and alignment, because a gate that drags will shorten the life of any new operator.
The gate must roll or swing freely by hand before it is automated.
Slide or swing, gate length and weight, and how often it cycles decide the operator.
Photo-eyes, safety edges and loops placed for the gate’s path, in line with UL 325 gate-operator safety practice.
Remotes, keypads, intercom releases and exit loops chosen for how the gate is used.
South Florida is hard on gates. Summer lightning and grid flickers are the most common reason a gate operator board fails, salt air near the coast works on wheels, hinges, racks and chains, and daily summer storms soak photo-eyes, loops and control boxes. Before a hurricane, every gate owner should know how to use the manual release — we show you during the visit.
Gate type, weight, power and how the gate is used are reviewed on site.
Wheels, hinges and alignment corrected so the operator is not overloaded.
Operator mounted, safety devices and access controls installed.
Limits and force set, remotes and codes programmed, and the manual release shown to you.
