Reliable access starts at the gate.

Questions customers ask
Gate Motor Installation & Repairs: practical answers
Why does a gate motor stop working?
Possible causes include power or battery problems, obstruction, worn mechanical parts, alignment issues, damaged wiring or a control-board fault. A proper diagnosis should precede parts replacement.
Can an existing gate be automated?
Often, but the gate must be mechanically suitable. Track, wheels, hinges, posts, clearances and gate movement should be checked before a motor is selected.
Will my gate work during load shedding?
A compatible battery backup can keep some systems operating during outages. Runtime depends on battery condition, gate size, traffic and the equipment fitted.
Should I replace or repair my motor?
That depends on the fault, motor condition, parts availability, age and cost of repair compared with a suitable replacement.
