Our
Approach to Cleaning Services
We focus on thorough preparation, safety, and using eco-friendly methods for cleaning tracks and sensors. After cleaning, we carefully calibrate and test sensors to ensure smooth gate operation.
Preparation and Site Assessment
Before we start cleaning, we inspect the entire gate system to understand its condition. This helps us identify any dirt buildup, damage, or parts that may need special attention.
We clear the area around the gate for easy access. This step prevents accidents and makes sure we reach every part of the tracks and sensors.
We also check for signs of rust or wear that could affect the cleaning process. Identifying these early helps us prevent further gate problems.
Safety and Compliance Measures
Our team always follows safety rules to protect both the gate and everyone nearby. We use protective gear like gloves and eye protection during cleaning.
We make sure to follow local safety regulations and standards. This keeps our worksite safe and avoids potential legal issues for you.
We turn off the gate’s power before starting to prevent accidental movement. This step helps avoid injuries and damage to the gate.
Eco-Friendly Cleaning
We use cleaning products that are safe for the environment and non-toxic. These products effectively remove dirt without harming nearby plants or water sources.
Our cleaning techniques reduce water waste by using damp cloths and targeted sprays instead of flooding the area.
We recycle waste materials like old grease and debris when possible. This reduces landfill waste and supports sustainability.
Sensor Calibration and Testing
Once cleaning is complete, we carefully adjust each sensor to make sure it reads signals correctly. This process helps avoid gate malfunctions caused by dust or misalignment.
We test all sensors multiple times under different conditions. Testing ensures the gate opens and closes smoothly and that safety features work properly.
If needed, we fine-tune sensor settings to match their original factory specifications for optimal performance.

Signs Your Gate Needs Track and Sensor Cleaning
We often see clear signs that a gate needs its tracks and sensors cleaned. Paying attention to these signals helps us fix problems early and keep gates working smoothly.
Inconsistent Gate Operation
If your gate opens or closes unevenly, it could mean dirt or debris is blocking the tracks. You might notice the gate stops midway or moves jerkily. This happens because grime makes the gate harder to slide.
Sometimes the gate might get stuck or needs extra force to move. This is a sign the tracks are dirty or the sensors are not detecting properly. Cleaning these parts can restore smooth movement and reduce strain on the motor.
Indicator Lights or Error Messages
Many automatic gates have indicator lights or display error codes when there is a problem. Flickering or blinking lights often show sensor issues caused by dust buildup.
Error messages might say the gate is obstructed or the sensors are dirty. These warnings help us know when to check and clean the sensors. Ignoring these signs can lead to more serious faults or gate failure.
FAQs on Cleaning of Tracks and Sensors
What are the steps involved in the professional cleaning of automatic gate tracks and sensors?
First, we remove dirt and debris from the tracks using brushes and vacuum tools. Then, we wipe down sensors to remove dust and check for damage. Finally, we lubricate moving parts to ensure smooth operation.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my automatic gate?
We recommend cleaning and inspection every 6 months. Regular maintenance helps avoid build-up that can cause the gate to jam or sensors to fail.
Can malfunctioning sensors cause my automatic gate to stop working?
Yes. Sensors detect when the gate should open or close. If they are dirty or damaged, the gate might not respond or could stop moving altogether.
What is the typical turnaround time for cleaning tracks and sensors?
Our cleaning service usually takes about 1 to 2 hours. Time can vary depending on the gate size and how dirty the tracks and sensors are.
How can I tell if the tracks of my automatic gate need cleaning or repair?
If the gate moves slowly, makes noise, or gets stuck, it likely needs cleaning or repair. Visible dirt or worn track parts are also signs to call us.
