An electric gate offers unparalleled convenience, allowing you to open and close it effortlessly without leaving your vehicle. It’s a modern feature that saves time and effort, making daily life more efficient. However, that convenience can quickly disappear if issues arise with your electric gate operator, the gate’s structure, or due to wear and tear over time.
When these problems occur, it might be time to consider replacing your electric gate. At Rugged Fence, we specialize in installing, repairing, and replacing electric gates to ensure your property remains secure and functional. Contact us today to have your gate serviced by our expert team!
Signs You Need to Replace Your Electric Gate
The electric gate operator is broken
Your electric gate operator is the system that powers your gate, transforming it from a manual gate into an automated one. The functionality of your electric gate depends on the operator system, so if you notice it is no longer performing certain tasks—like opening or closing properly—it could be a sign that the system needs to be replaced. While the issue might seem minor, such as only losing remote control access, it could indicate a larger problem that requires a new operator system to restore full functionality and ensure smooth operation.
The gate has cracks, rust, and chips
If the structural integrity of your electric gate is compromised by cracks or breaks, particularly around the hinges, it may be time for a replacement. While some damage can be repaired, significant or widespread cracks may make it more cost-effective to replace the entire gate. Replacing a damaged gate ensures both safety and reliability, preventing further issues down the line and maintaining the security of your property.
The gate alignment is off
Gate alignment refers to the proper positioning of your electric gate when it is closed, ensuring both sides meet securely with no gaps. When aligned correctly, the gate prevents unauthorized entry or exit, keeping your property secure. If the alignment is off, it could allow pets to escape or strangers to enter. In some cases, a simple repair is enough to restore proper alignment, but in more severe instances, a complete electric gate replacement may be necessary to ensure safety and functionality.
Benefits of Upgrading Your Electric Gate
- Enhanced Technology – Similarly to your smart phones, electric gates over the years have tremendously improved technologically. Especially with the wave of smart technology. So, replacing your electric gate with a new one might give you added benefits and convenience such as video surveillance, app control, an AI monitoring security system, and much more!
- Smoother Operation – Improve the speed at which your gate opens and closes to prevent delays
- More Convenience – Depending on what type of electric gate you are getting, an upgrade could prove more convenient for you and your family when entering and leaving your property.
