Troubleshooting
Gate does not swing freely
Check if hinges are properly aligned and lubricated. Ensure there are no obstructions in the gate's path. Verify that the gate is not warped or damaged.
Rust or corrosion appearing on the surface
Aluminium is highly resistant to corrosion. If any discolouration occurs, clean with mild soapy water and rinse. Significant corrosion is unlikely and may indicate a manufacturing defect. Contact the manufacturer.
Difficulty in manual operation
Ensure hinges are correctly installed and offer free movement. Check for any debris or foreign objects near the gate's swing path. The lightweight nature of aluminium should facilitate smooth operation.
Automation system not working
Refer to the specific troubleshooting guide for your automation system. Check power supply, connections, and remote control batteries. Ensure the gate itself is moving freely without binding.
Powder coating is chipped or damaged
Small chips can sometimes be repaired with appropriate touch-up paint designed for powder-coated surfaces. For significant damage, consult the manufacturer for repair or replacement options.
