What are the common signs that my electric gate needs repairing?

Do I need a professional to repair my electric gate motor?
Yes, electric gate motors are complex and should only be repaired by trained professionals. DIY attempts may lead to further damage or safety hazards. An expert will safely inspect, diagnose, and repair the motor to restore smooth gate operation.

How often should I service my electric gates to prevent issues?
Electric gates should be serviced at least once a year for residential setups and twice for commercial setups.
