Sliding gates are popular across Dublin for driveways and commercial yards because they need no swing space, but their tracks, wheels and racks take constant wear. SteelMotion repairs both ground-tracked and cantilever sliding gates, fixing the motors, gear racks, guide rollers and wheels that keep them moving. When a sliding gate starts to grind, jam or drift off line, we diagnose the cause and restore smooth, safe travel.

Call 089 429 5181Why sliding gates fail
On ground-tracked gates, debris, leaves and grit build up in the track and wear the wheels, causing grinding and eventual jamming. The gear rack that the motor pinion drives can wear or work loose, leading to slipping and juddery movement. Guide rollers seize, and cantilever rollers wear and let the gate sag. We address all of these, cleaning, realigning and replacing parts as needed.
Motor and control faults affect sliding gates just as they do swing gates, and we repair these too — failed motors, worn pinions, faulty limit switches and dead control boards.
Smooth travel and safe stopping
A correctly running sliding gate should glide quietly and stop reliably at each end. We set limit switches accurately and confirm the safety devices work so the gate cannot close on a vehicle or person.
Every job starts with a quick phone or WhatsApp conversation so we can dispatch the right engineer with the right parts. We never use online forms — talk to a real person who knows shutters.

Sliding Gate Repair FAQs
My sliding gate is grinding along its track — what's the cause?
Usually worn wheels or debris built up in the track. We clean and realign the track and replace worn wheels so the gate glides smoothly again.
Do you repair cantilever sliding gates?
Yes. We service both ground-tracked and cantilever sliding gates, including worn cantilever rollers that cause the gate to sag or stick.
The gate doesn't stop in the right place anymore — can you fix that?
Yes. That's typically a limit-switch or encoder issue. We recalibrate the stopping points and confirm the safety devices work correctly.
How fast can you come out?
