Roller Track Position Some welders position the gate roller track or angle iron on which the rollers runs almost completely buried in the earth. This practice can cause even the best gate rollers to eventually fail because sand and other debris will hinder the roller from operating smoothly. The roller should be on a raised track through out the length of the track. The track must also be straight and must plum!

Consider Alternative Power Supply(Solar) Automatic gate operators are power by electricity and most of them have a battery backup that can store power and allow you to still use your autmatic gate operator in case of occasional power outage. But in Nigeria power outage and blackouts are norm and may last for days. In such s circumstances consider using a solar power system to power your gate motor in addition to electric power from the mains.It may cost a little bit more but its worthwhile to keep your automatic gate operator always working.

ONE Size Does Not Fit All Automatic Gate motors come in different power ranges. Some can move gates weighing 500kg - 800kg others up to 1500kg others up to 3500kg and of course the price of each differs. The biggest problem most people have is that they think all gate motors are the same. Your gate weighs 1200kg and your neighbors gate weighs only 600kg he tells you he installed his Automatic Gate Operator for X amount and you bargain for the same or even less amount. When a machine that carries 800kg maximum is installed on your gate and in a few months times it develops a fault due to overwork you say you have been scammed. You scammed yourself! Don't sacrifice quality on the altar of price. Always insist on the best machine for your gate's weight.

After Sales Services Some people travel to Italy, China, France the United States even in Nigeria. They buy an Automatic gate operator off the shelf, then get a technician to install it for them. After installation they are left to the fates. Even the best made machines need regular servicing and parts due to wear and tear have to be replaced. Those who imported the automatic gate operator from abroad soon find out how difficult it is to diagnose a fault. And even after successfully diagnosing a fault they realize that the cost of buying and importing even the smallest spare parts for their auto gate operator and then paying a technician to change it is so expensive. More so most technicians in Nigeria who are not really conversant with imported models may end up damaging it in their bid to service or change a damaged part. To avoid this, get a reputable firm to install your automatic gate operator for you. There are cheaper, rugged and long lasting ranges of automatic gate operators with parts readily available here in Nigeria and companies that offer splendid after sales services. Some offer 12 to 24 months free maintenance and service. After that you may want to sign a yearly maintenance contract for a small fee. |

Pedestrian Gate It is ideal for a pedestrian gate to be seperate from the main gate when considering gate automation. However if this can't be possible, the current pedestrian gate may be slightly modified to accommodate the gate motor. |

Traffic If the gate motor is to be mounted in a high traffic establishment, you should consider getting a heavy duty cycle machine regardless if your gate is lightweight. |
