Prolonging gate life through regular, attentive maintenance visits
Reliable Performance. Guaranteed Security.
At Global Gates LLC, preventative maintenance is the backbone of reliable perimeter
protection.
From automated gates and crash barriers to bollards and control systems, we provide
scheduled
inspections, fine-tuning, and diagnostics that keep your equipment running safely and
efficiently — minimizing downtime and maximizing service life.
Why Preventative Maintenance Matters
Every gate, operator, and control system is only as strong as its weakest component. Regular
maintenance ensures:
Zero downtime through early detection of mechanical or electrical issues
UL-325 & ASTM F2200 compliance for gate and barrier safety
Optimized performance and extended system lifespan
Lower total cost of ownership versus reactive repairs
Consistent reliability for mission-critical and high-security sites
Comprehensive Service Coverage
Automated gates, crash barriers, bollards, and control systems all require precise upkeep. Global Gates provides full-service solutions, including hydraulic gate maintenance in East Berlin, Pennsylvania, ensuring local clients receive timely inspections, repairs, and optimizations.
Automated Gates & Gate Operators
Inspect hinges, rollers, chains, and guide tracks
Test motors, gearboxes, belts, and clutch assemblies
Verify safety loops, photo eyes, and limit switches
Clean, lubricate, and tension all moving parts
Test control circuits, relays, and VFD operation
Crash Barriers & Wedge Systems
Check hydraulic or pneumatic pressure, hoses, and actuators
Inspect barrier alignment and weld integrity
Test PLC sequences, interlocks, and emergency stop systems
Verify position sensors, limit switches, and lights
Review structural and foundation stability
Crash Bollards
Test retractable and fixed bollard operation
Inspect for leaks, corrosion, or misalignment
Validate synchronization with gate and control logic
Confirm manual override and fail-safe functions
Automation & Control Stations
Inspect PLCs, relays, contactors, and wiring
Backup logic and verify input/output performance
Test HMI panels, safety interlocks, and indicators
Clean and seal enclosures for weatherproofing
Update labeling, schematics, and documentation
Our integration process includes custom programming, wiring, communication setup, and testing to ensure all subsystems — from power to logic controls — operate flawlessly as a unified platform.
Why It Matters
A well-integrated gate system prevents operational conflicts and enhances security by:
Eliminating unauthorized access and cross-traffic
Coordinating multiple gates or barriers in true sally-port logic
Providing emergency override and fail-safe operation
Reducing downtime through automated fault detection
Allowing real-time control and monitoring through a central interface or cloud-based system
Tailored for Each Site
Every property and security level is unique. Whether it's an AWS data center, a corporate campus, or a high-security facility, Global Gates designs and installs systems that meet UL-325 and ASTM F2200 standards — integrating advanced hardware and intelligent control logic specific to each environment.
Our Expertise
With extensive experience in PLC automation, fiber and network communication, and crash-rated gate systems, Global Gates delivers turnkey integration — from design and programming to commissioning and service support. Our systems are built for reliability, compliance, and long-term performance.
How often should gates get maintenance?
Most gates should be checked at least once or twice a year. High-traffic gates may need more frequent inspections. We recommend setting a schedule based on use and environmental conditions.
How much does gate preventative maintenance cost?
Costs vary depending on gate type and condition. Basic visits often include inspection, lubrication, and small adjustments. We can provide estimates after reviewing the gate.
Do electric gates need more maintenance than manual gates?
Electric gates usually require extra attention for motors, sensors, and control systems. Preventative visits help keep electronics and mechanics running reliably.
How do I know if a gate needs maintenance sooner?
Noises, slow movement, jerky operation, or sensor issues are signs that maintenance is needed. If any of these happen, it’s best to schedule a visit quickly.
What are the benefits of regular gate maintenance?
Regular upkeep keeps gates working smoothly, extends lifespan, prevents accidents, and saves money on major repairs. We help keep gates safe and reliable year-round.
