If your gate doesn't open or close, it may be a simple issue like sensors that need cleaning. Try cleaning and realigning the gate sensors and ensuring no debris or pests are blocking the sensors or tracks. Another simple issue and its solution is transitioning the gate from manual to automatic mode.

If you have a faulty or broken motor, replacing that can cost on average between £300 and £1,800. Repairing or replacing an intercom system could cost from £250 to over £1,200.

If the gate is not opening or closing, check the gate's power supply first. Make sure that the gate's circuit breaker or fuse is functioning correctly. Next, check the wiring connections between the gate operator and the control panel. Ensure all connections are tightly secured and free of any corrosion or rusting.

What is a high-quality automatic gate's life expectancy? A good system that was designed correctly should fulfil a reasonable 15 to 20 years with routine servicing and adequate maintenance.
