Automatic Commercial Sliding Gate Repair & Control Board Reconfiguration
Project Type: Commercial Sliding Gate Repair & System Reconfiguration
A malfunctioning automatic gate can quickly disrupt daily operations, compromise security, and create safety risks. In this project, our team was called in to diagnose and resolve a control issue affecting a commercial sliding gate integrated with a warehouse alarm system.
The Issue: Gate Would Open but Not Close Automatically
The client reported that their rear sliding gate would open correctly when the warehouse alarm was disarmed, but failed to close once the alarm was set.
As a result:
The gate had to be closed manually
Manual operation became stiff and difficult over time
There were growing concerns around site security, safety, and reliability
Our Assessment: Control Board Configuration Fault
Our technicians attended site and carried out a full system inspection, covering:
Gate motor and mechanical components
Safety devices (including beams and inputs)
Electrical wiring and control logic
Alarm system integration
We identified the root cause as a control board configuration and settings issue, which was preventing the gate from receiving the correct close command during alarm activation.
The Solution: Control Board Reconfiguration & System Testing
To resolve the issue, we:
Reconfigured the control board settings
Restored correct communication between the gate automation system and alarm
Tested all operating modes, including automatic and manual functions
Confirmed safe, compliant, and reliable operation across the system
The Result: Safe, Reliable & Fully Automatic Operation Restored
✅ Automatic opening and closing fully restored
✅ Seamless integration with the warehouse alarm system
✅ Smooth manual operation retained as a backup
✅ Improved reliability, safety, and daily operation
The gate is now operating smoothly, safely, and exactly as intended, with no need for manual intervention.
