Frequently asked questions

Climate conditions do affect how the internal mechanics operate. ... During periods where the outside temperature can drop as low as -20 in some parts of the UK, the motors can physically have trouble starting, just like a motor vehicle... Although the internal gears are protected by machine grease, of course anti-freeze cannot be used. ... During the summer season or where the temperature increases, this torque force adjustment may need to be reversed as the mechanics will be able to move a lot more freely and you may find your gates closing quicker or over closing / opening.

Each control board has the option of operating the motors in one of two ways:

  • Full Automatic mode where a press of the transmitter button will open the gate and hold it open for a predetermined time (adjustable to between five & 90 seconds) and then close it automatically. This way no one needs to remember to shut the gate.
  • Semi Automatic mode where one press of the button will open the gate as before, but it won't close automatically until the button is pressed again.

Included in each MyGate kit is a pair of safety photocells that are normally mounted on each gatepost and project a beam across the entrance. If your car or any object (e.g. child or pet) breaks this beam the gate will either not move, or if it has already started to close, stop moving then reverse open again. If you have large / deep gates then an additional pair of photocells should be purchased and mounted on posts just beyond the leading edges of the open gate (see accessories); these will protect the full radial sweep of the gate.

Unlike hydraulic motors, MyGate electromechanical motors need virtually no maintenance. The internal gears and mechanisms to control the ram arm motion are protected by Machine Grease. All that is required is to keep the motors and the control boards associated safety devices (photocells / anti-crush barriers) free from grime and obvious obstructions including fallen branches et cetera. Keep the toothed rack clear and free from any stones, loose chippings or any potential hazard that may get caught in the gates travel. It is recommended to have the gate automation serviced by professional gate installers / gate maintenance specialists to ensure your automation is working safely and efficiently. Installers / Maintenance teams can be found in local directories and internet search engines.
