Sliding Automatic Gate

Slide Gate Maintenance Tip

Many property owners overlook minor issues with their sliding automatic gates, which can lead to bigger problems over time.

The gate chain should have only about 3 feet of slack and can be shortened only once. If the chain is not properly maintained, adjusted, or replaced as needed, it can place excessive strain on the gate operator and damage the motor or sprockets.

It is also important to keep the gate track clear of debris such as dirt, stones, or leaves. A properly functioning sliding gate should move smoothly and close cleanly. If the gate hesitates, jerks, or makes unusual noises, it may need professional service.

For safety reasons, it is best not to attempt repairs yourself. Automatic gates contain powerful moving parts, and improper repairs can cause serious injury.
