Gate Maintenance Tips for Montebello Homeowners

Living in Montebello's unique climate proper gate maintenance is essential. Here are our expert recommendations for extending the life of your gate:

Seasonal Care

During our wet winter months, inspect your gate's metal components monthly for early signs of rust, especially in hinges and latches. Our summer heat can cause expansion in metal components, so adjust your gate's alignment as needed during the warmer months when temperatures consistently reach into the high 80s and 90s.

Regular Maintenance Tasks

• Lubricate all moving parts every 3-4 months with a high-quality silicone-based lubricant
• Clean tracks and wheels on sliding gates to prevent debris buildup from our Santa Ana winds
• Check and tighten all hardware, especially after temperature extremes
• Test automatic operators monthly, including safety features and backup batteries
• Clear drainage channels to prevent water accumulation during our rainy season

Automated Gate Care

For properties with automated gates, particularly common in neighborhoods near The Shops at Montebello and our newer residential developments, inspect and test safety sensors monthly. Keep remote control batteries fresh and maintain a backup power source for operation during occasional power outages.



Remember, proactive maintenance helps prevent costly repairs and extends your gate's lifespan in our variable Southern California climate. If you notice any unusual sounds, resistance in movement, or signs of wear, contact our professional team for a thorough inspection.
