Folding Gate Maintenance
Folding Gates consist of multiple folding sections connected by hinges and linkage arms.
Because they have more moving parts, regular maintenance is especially important.
1. Inspect Folding Hinges
The hinges are constantly moving during operation.
Check for:
🧰Rust
🧰Wear and tear
🧰Loose fittings
🧰Bent components
Replace damaged hinges promptly.
2. Check Linkage Arms
Linkage arms coordinate the folding movement.
Inspect for:
⛓️💥Bending
⛓️💥Cracks
⛓️💥Loose connections
A damaged linkage arm can affect the entire gate operation.
3. Ensure Proper Panel Alignment
Folding Gates must fold evenly and smoothly.
Check for:
🔧Uneven folding
🔧Panels rubbing against each other
🔧Misaligned sections
Early adjustment can prevent costly repairs later.
