Expert Gate Maintenance & Repair for All Brands
Automated gates are mechanical systems, and like any piece of machinery, they require regular maintenance to perform reliably and safely. Worn hinges, low lubricant, tired motors and misaligned safety sensors can all cause problems — ranging from nuisance slow operation to complete failure or, in the worst case, a safety risk. MPW Electrical Security provide professional gate servicing across Wigan and the North West, keeping your gates in peak condition and giving you confidence they'll perform when you need them.
A comprehensive service from MPW covers every aspect of your gate system. We inspect and lubricate all moving mechanical components including hinges, rollers, rack and pinion drives, and pivot points. The motor unit is checked for correct torque, heat build-up and any signs of wear in the gearbox. Control boards, wiring and limit switches are inspected. Safety systems are tested thoroughly — this includes photocells (the infrared beams that stop the gates if something is in the way), edge sensors on swing gates, and loop detectors in the ground. We also test and reprogram all remote controls and keypads, and carry out a full force test to ensure the gates comply with current safety standards.
We service all major brands of gate motor including CAME, BFT, FAAC, Roger Technology, DEA and others. You don't need to have had your gates installed by us — we're equally happy to take on servicing of systems fitted by other contractors. For properties and businesses that want the convenience of planned maintenance, we offer annual service contracts with priority response times and discounted labour rates on any callout work required during the contract period.

Gate Servicing, Repair & Maintenance Contracts
Whether you need a one-off service, an emergency repair or a planned maintenance agreement, MPW Electrical Security have you covered.
Annual Servicing
An annual service is the single most effective thing you can do to extend the life of your automated gate system and prevent unexpected breakdowns. During a service visit, we carry out a full mechanical and electrical inspection — lubricating all moving parts, testing the motor and gearbox, calibrating safety sensors, checking photocells and testing all remote access devices. We complete a service report after every visit, noting the condition of each component and flagging anything that may need attention in the future. Regular servicing also keeps your gates compliant with EN 13241 safety standards, which can be important for insurance and commercial liability purposes.
Fault Finding & Repair
Gate problems can range from a motor refusing to start, to gates moving slowly, reversing unexpectedly, or failing to open at all. The cause can be mechanical (worn hinges, broken springs, twisted gate leaf), electrical (failed control board, blown fuse, cable break) or operational (misaligned sensors, lost remote signal, flat battery backup). Our engineers carry a comprehensive stock of common spare parts for CAME, BFT, FAAC and other brands, meaning most faults can be diagnosed and repaired in a single visit. Where specialist components are required, we'll order them promptly and keep you updated throughout.
Maintenance Contracts
For commercial premises, housing developments, or homeowners who simply want the reassurance of planned maintenance, we offer annual maintenance contracts covering one or more service visits per year. Contract customers benefit from priority response on any callout, discounted parts and labour rates, and the peace of mind that their gate system is being looked after by a team that knows it well. Contracts can be tailored to include just the service visits, or can extend to include an emergency callout allowance. Get in touch to discuss a plan that works for your property and budget.
