Automated and electric gates are designed to provide reliable access, but there may be times when they stop working. A power cut, system fault, or damaged component can leave your gates unresponsive. In these situations, knowing how to reset the system or switch to manual operation is essential.
Every gate is fitted with a manual release mechanism. This allows you to open and close your gates by hand when the electrics are not available. The method depends on the type of motor installed.
To make this process simple, we have produced short video guides covering the most common systems. Each video demonstrates how to locate the manual release, how to operate it safely, and how to reset the system once power has been restored.
