Our certified technicians conduct thorough evaluations of every component in your gate system, from operator mechanics and safety devices to structural integrity and electrical connections. We focus on UL 325 compliance standards, which govern automatic gate safety requirements, ensuring your system includes proper reversing mechanisms, safety edges, photo eyes, and loop sensors that function correctly under all conditions.
During our detailed inspection process, we examine gate mechanics, fence stability, safety device functionality, and emergency release systems to detect any issues before they become serious problems or safety hazards. Our team also reviews installation compliance with local building codes and HOA requirements that may affect your property.
Upon completion, you receive a comprehensive inspection report documenting all findings, compliance status, and specific recommendations for any necessary repairs or upgrades. This documentation is valuable for insurance purposes, property sales, and regulatory compliance.
Our Safety Inspection Services
We focus on evaluating every critical aspect of your gates and fences to ensure they meet safety standards. Our process covers the structural soundness, operational systems, and all moving parts.
Structural Integrity Assessment
We inspect the entire framework for signs of rust, corrosion, or physical damage. This includes checking welds, joints, and posts for stability and durability.

Any weaknesses or deformations that could affect safety or performance are identified. We ensure the gate and fence comply with local building codes and safety regulations.
Our goal is to confirm that the structure can withstand regular use and environmental stress without risk of failure.
Electrical and Mechanical Evaluation
Our team examines all electrical wiring, connections, and power sources for safety and proper function. Faulty or outdated components are flagged to prevent hazards like short circuits or fire risks.

We also test mechanical parts such as motors, sensors, and control panels. Their responsiveness, alignment, and timing are verified to confirm smooth and secure gate operation.
This review helps avoid malfunctions that could compromise security or cause accidents.
Hardware and Component Review
All locks, hinges, rollers, and bolts are checked for wear and proper engagement. Loose or damaged hardware can lead to gate sagging, improper closure, or failure.

We inspect safety devices like photo eyes and emergency release mechanisms to ensure they activate correctly. This step reduces the risk of injury or entrapment.
Our hardware audit guarantees every element functions as intended to maintain overall safety and reliability.
Compliance Check and Regulations Adherence
Ensuring compliance with all relevant codes and standards is critical for gate and fence installations. We verify adherence to local laws, accessibility requirements, and neighborhood guidelines to keep your property safe and lawful.
Local Orange County Code Compliance
We follow Orange County’s specific building and safety codes for fences and gates. This includes height restrictions, setback requirements, and materials approved for residential areas.
Certain zones may require permits before installation. We ensure all necessary permits are obtained and inspections are passed. This process prevents fines and ensures your installation meets fire safety and durability standards set by the county.
Our team stays updated on amendments to local codes, so installations are always compliant.
ADA Requirements for Gates and Fences
Our work respects the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards when gates or fences serve public access points. We assess clearance width, maneuvering space, and hardware height for accessibility.
Automatic and manual gate controls must be reachable and operable by individuals with disabilities. We verify these features during inspections.
Proper ADA compliance reduces liability and supports inclusive access on your property.
Homeowners Association Standards
Homeowners Associations (HOAs) often impose rules on fencing design, color, and height. We review your HOA’s regulations before work begins.
We help ensure that every aspect—from gate style to finish—meets HOA guidelines. This
prevents disputes and costly rework.
Our inspections confirm your fence and gate installation aligns with CC&R (Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions) relevant to your community.
