SAFE HOMESGate Motor Repairs in Cape Town
A gate that sticks, stops halfway or ignores the remote is a security and safety problem. We diagnose the cause first, so you pay to fix the fault rather than guess at parts.
Get the scope right before work starts.
Gate faults usually come from power or battery problems, worn mechanical parts, misalignment, damaged wiring, a failing control board or faulty safety devices. The same symptom can have very different causes.
We repair a range of motor types and brands, subject to parts being available. If repairing an old motor is not sensible, we will explain the cost of repair against replacement.
- Power supply, battery condition and charging
- Gate movement: wheels, track, hinges, rack and pinion or arm
- Limit switches, obstruction and safety sensors
- Control board, wiring and remote receiver
- Manual release operation and general gate balance
Include these details
- Brand and model of the motor, if known
- What the gate does when you press the remote
- Whether the problem began after a power cut or impact
- Gate type (sliding or swing) and approximate size
- Suburb and photos of the motor and gate
Why does my gate open but not close?
Causes include an obstruction, sensor or safety beam fault, a limit switch problem or a control-board setting. A proper test finds which.
Why is the remote not working?
Flat remote batteries, receiver issues or a motor fault can be responsible. We test the remote and the receiver.
Is it safe to keep using a faulty gate?
A gate that behaves unpredictably can be dangerous. If it closes on people or vehicles, stop using the automation and get it checked.
