Do I need a Service?
The same question from all of our customers is asked when we hand over a finished installation and that is "how often does it require a service" I would love to say that your system has been designed to become virtually maintenance free, that statement isnt far from the truth if we were to remove any external influence such as the enviorement and mother nature.
Please see our automated gate service checklist below, along with our auxiliary components inspection checklist. These areas are all prone to wear and tear and will require maintenance.
