Lubrication of Mechanical Parts

If you rely on an automatic gate, you know how important it is to keep it working smoothly. We specialize in lubricating the moving parts of your gate to prevent wear and avoid costly breakdowns. Regular lubrication helps reduce friction, extend the life of your gate’s motor, and keep everything running quietly.


We know gates take a lot of use and can face tough weather conditions that cause parts to wear out faster. That’s why our lubrication service focuses on key areas like hinges, rollers, and tracks. By taking care of these parts, we help you avoid unexpected problems and make sure your gate stays reliable over time.


When you trust us with your gate’s maintenance, you get more than just quick fixes. You get a team that understands the mechanics behind every part. We make sure your gate moves easily and safely every time you open or close it.

Specialized Lubrication Techniques and Tools

We focus on precise lubrication methods that keep your mechanical parts working smoothly and lasting longer. Our approach uses the right lubricants and accurate application to avoid damage and reduce wear over time.

Use of Industry-Approved Lubricants


We use lubricants that meet strict industry standards to protect your gate’s components. These lubricants are designed to reduce friction, prevent rust, and resist dirt buildup.


Choosing the right type is critical. For example, high-quality grease is used on hinges and rollers to ensure smooth movement. For parts exposed to weather, we select lubricants that resist water and extreme temperatures.



Using only approved lubricants means your gate stays quieter and lasts longer. It also reduces the need for frequent repairs.

Precision Application Methods


Applying lubricant precisely is just as important as choosing the right one. We use tools like automatic lubricators that provide a steady, clean supply of grease without over-applying it.


Our technicians also use grease guns and specialized brushes for hard-to-reach areas. This prevents dirt from mixing with the lubricant, which can cause damage.


This careful application means your mechanical parts move quietly and efficiently. It also helps avoid grease waste and keeps your gate’s system running smoothly.

Maintenance Scheduling and Service Plans

Custom Maintenance Intervals

Not every gate needs the same type of attention. We set maintenance intervals based on factors like how often your gate is used, weather exposure, and the gate’s age. For residential gates used lightly, a visit every six months may be enough. Commercial gates or gates in harsh conditions usually require quarterly inspections.



During these visits, we lubricate moving parts, check hinges, rollers, and safety features. This scheduled attention helps prevent breakdowns and extends the life of your gate system.

Emergency Service Options

If your gate suddenly stops working, we offer fast emergency repair services. You can call us anytime, and we aim to respond quickly to limit downtime and secure your property.



Our emergency service includes rapid lubrication and part replacement as needed. We keep common parts on hand for quicker repairs. Having this option ensures your gate is fixed before it becomes a bigger problem or safety issue.

Step-by-Step Lubrication Service Procedure

Our lubrication service ensures your mechanical parts run smoothly and last longer. We focus on careful inspection, cleaning, correct lubricant choice, and thorough testing to avoid problems and keep your equipment working as it should.

Initial Assessment and Inspection

First, we thoroughly inspect all moving parts like bearings, shafts, and hinges for signs of wear or misalignment. This helps identify areas needing lubrication or repairs. We check for dirt, rust, and old grease buildup that can affect performance.



We also assess the current lubrication system if one is installed, noting any leaks or blockages. This step sets the foundation for a precise service, ensuring parts are neither under- nor over-lubricated.

Cleaning and Preparation of Components

Before applying new lubricant, we clean parts carefully to remove old grease, dirt, and debris. This prevents contamination and helps the lubricant reach the surfaces it needs to protect.



We use suitable cleaning agents and tools to avoid damage. Once clean, we dry the components completely to ensure the new lubricant bonds correctly and remains effective longer.

Lubricant Application

We select the right type and amount of lubricant based on the parts’ design and operating conditions. This can include grease, oil, or automatic lubricators for continuous supply.



Lubricant is applied evenly to all recommended spots, focusing on bearings, gears, and sliding surfaces. We avoid over-lubrication, which can cause buildup and attract dust or moisture.

Post-Service Testing and Adjustment

After lubrication, we test all moving parts by running the equipment through normal motions. This checks for smooth operation and verifies the lubricant is working properly.



If needed, we make adjustments to the lubricant amount or clean areas that show excess. We also inspect seals and fittings to be sure nothing leaks or blocks the lubricant flow.
