Preventative Servicing Plans to Keep Your Gate Running Smoothly

Why Regular Gate Servicing Matters

NZ Gates offers professional gate maintenance and servicing plans for all types of gates across Auckland, including automated driveway gates, commercial gates, sliding gates and swing gates. Regular servicing prevents costly breakdowns, extends the life of your gate and ensures safety systems are working correctly. Our experienced technicians service all gate brands, motor types and materials — whether we installed your gate or not.

Auckland's coastal climate, heavy rainfall and humidity take a toll on gate components over time. Motors, tracks, hinges and electronics all benefit from regular maintenance — just like a car. Without it, small issues like worn rollers or dry bearings can turn into expensive motor failures or gate damage.

Our maintenance plans are designed to catch problems early, keep your gate operating smoothly and quietly, and ensure safety systems like auto-reverse and photo-eyes are functioning correctly. For commercial properties, regular servicing also helps meet health and safety obligations.

Inclusions

What's Included in a Gate Service

Every maintenance visit includes a comprehensive inspection and servicing of all critical gate components.

Motor Inspection & Testing

We test your gate motor under load, check for error codes, and assess wear on internal components to catch issues before failure.

Track & Roller Cleaning

Tracks are cleaned and cleared of debris, leaves and stones. Rollers are inspected for wear and replaced if needed.

Hinge & Bearing Lubrication

All moving parts are lubricated with appropriate-grade grease and oil to reduce friction and prevent premature wear.

Safety Sensor Testing

Photo-eyes, auto-reverse mechanisms and safety edges are tested to ensure your gate stops and reverses correctly.

Electrical System Check

Wiring, control boards and connections are inspected for corrosion, loose terminals or water damage.

Remote & Keypad Testing

All remotes, keypads and access control devices are tested for range and reliability. Batteries checked.

Gate Alignment Check

We check that the gate is properly aligned, closes and latches correctly, and doesn't drag or bind.

Weather Seal Inspection

Rubber seals and weather stripping are inspected for deterioration, especially important in coastal Auckland areas.

Detailed Service Report

You receive a written report of all work performed, findings, and any recommendations for future attention.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend annual servicing for residential gates and bi-annual or quarterly servicing for commercial and high-traffic gates. Gates in coastal areas or those used frequently may need more frequent attention.

Yes, we service and maintain gates from any installer or manufacturer. Our technicians are experienced with all major automation brands, motor types and gate materials.
