Electric gates are designed to make life easier — offering security, convenience and controlled access to your property. But like any automated system, they need regular attention to keep working properly. Without routine servicing, small issues can quickly develop into expensive repairs or complete breakdowns.

At TWS Automation, we provide professional electric gate servicing across Durham, Newcastle, Sunderland, Gateshead and the wider North East, helping homeowners and businesses keep their gates running safely and reliably all year round.

Why Electric Gate Servicing Is Important

Many electric gate faults usually start with small warning signs such as:

• gates opening slower than normal
• unusual noises from the motor
• hesitation when closing
• remote controls becoming unreliable
• safety sensors not responding properly

Regular servicing helps identify these problems early before they lead to a full failure.

What Is Included in an Electric Gate Service?

A professional electric gate service involves checking every key part of the system to make sure it is operating correctly.

At TWS Automation, our servicing typically includes:

• checking gate motors and automation systems
• inspecting hinges, rollers and tracks
• testing safety sensors and photocells
• checking intercoms and access controls
• lubrication of moving parts
• testing manual release systems
• inspecting control boards and electrical connections

This ensures the gate remains safe, compliant and reliable in daily use.

Preventing Costly Repairs

One of the biggest benefits of regular servicing is avoiding unexpected repair costs.

A worn hinge, weak motor, loose wiring connection or sensor fault can often be corrected quickly during routine maintenance. Left too long, the same issue could result in:

• gate motors burning out
• damaged control boards
• gates becoming stuck open or closed
• safety systems failing

Preventative maintenance is always more cost-effective than emergency repairs.

Servicing for All Types of Electric Gates

We service all major gate systems, including:

• sliding electric gates
• swing gates
• bi-fold gates
• commercial automated gates
• residential driveway gates

Whether your system is new or has been installed for years, regular servicing helps extend its lifespan and improve day-to-day reliability.
