Commercial fence and gate repair
Repair requests are submitted through the platform or by phone, triaged for priority and dispatched to a vetted fence and gate provider in the location’s market. Common requests include:
- Gate stuck open or closed
- Damaged fencing after an incident
Every job is closed out with photos and notes, so the repair history for each location is kept in one place.
Preventive fence and gate maintenance
Fencing and Gates work is mostly on demand, with planned work scheduled when needed. Planned work (sometimes called preventative maintenance, or planned preventive maintenance outside the U.S.) keeps small problems from becoming closures. A typical program includes:
- Gate operator checks
- Fence line inspections
Schedules are set for each location and every visit is recorded against it.
Urgent fence and gate requests
Urgent requests are flagged at intake and dispatched first. Where a failure leaves a location unsecured, McCray can post an officer until the work is complete. Facility First does not publish response-time guarantees; dispatch priorities are agreed in each client’s program. [CONFIRM wording before launch]
Security fencing
Security fencing, chain link repairs and automatic gate service protect lots, loading areas and equipment yards.
