Gate motors, garage motors and intercoms in Pretoria East
A gate that will not open at night is more than an inconvenience. We install and repair gate motors, garage motors and intercoms.
Gate motors live outside in the sun and the rain, and they get worked hard. Add a few lightning storms and load shedding cycles, and it is no surprise they are one of the things we get called about. Sometimes it is the motor, sometimes the battery, and quite often it is the power supply to it.
We install and repair gate motors and garage door motors, and install and repair intercoms. Because we are electricians, we also look at the supply, the cabling and the protection, which is often where the real problem sits.

Common questions
My gate stopped working after load shedding. Why?
Often the backup battery in the motor is worn out and can no longer carry the gate through an outage. It can also be a supply problem. We test both.
Can I put the gate motor on my inverter?
Yes, the gate motor is a common circuit to put on an essentials sub board so it keeps working during outages.
Do you repair intercoms too?
Yes. We install and repair intercoms, including checking the cabling between the gate and the house.
