Automated gates provide convenience and security but, like any system, can encounter issues over time. At Intrust Group, we offer expert electrical work and specialise in automated gates in Cairns. Here are some common problems you might face and how to address them.
Gate Fails to Open or Close
One of the most frequent issues with automated gates is unresponsiveness. This could result from power supply problems, remote control malfunctions or damaged wiring. Checking the power source and replacing remote batteries is a good start. If the issue persists, professional assistance is often needed to inspect the gate’s motor and connections.
Slow or Jerky Movement
A gate that moves unevenly or slower than usual could indicate mechanical wear or obstructions in the track. Debris buildup, lack of lubrication or a faulty motor are common culprits. Regular cleaning, lubrication of moving parts and professional servicing of the motor can resolve this issue.
Faulty Sensors or Safety Features
Modern automated gate systems rely on sensors for safety and functionality. Misaligned or dirty sensors can prevent the gate from operating correctly. Cleaning the sensor lenses and ensuring proper alignment often restores functionality. If problems persist, Intrust Group’s expertise in electrical in Cairns can help recalibrate or replace defective components.
Loud Noises During Operation
Unusual noises such as grinding or squeaking typically point to mechanical issues. Worn-out rollers, dry hinges or motor strain are common causes. Regular maintenance, including lubrication and replacement of worn parts, helps prevent further damage and ensures smooth operation.
Power Supply Interruptions
Automated gates require consistent power to function. Tripped circuit breakers, loose connections or general electrical faults can interrupt operation. Our electrical services include thorough inspections to identify and fix power-related problems, ensuring your gate remains reliable.
