Gate Motor Repairs & Maintenance

Due to the daily heavy workload of opening and closing your automated gate, you should select a high-quality gate motor to ensure optimal performance and reliability. Your gate motor should be physically secured to avoid tampering which could compromise your security. A backup battery is essential in the event of a power failure or load shedding, guaranteeing that you won’t be stuck inside or outside. A malfunctioning gate motor is not only frustrating but poses a security risk, our trained technicians are available for all gate motor repairs and services to help you secure your property and prolong the lifespan of your automated gate motor.

The best way for you to prolong the lifespan of your automated gate motor is to deter pests such as rats, ants, snakes, geckos, spiders, and other insects. These pests can contribute to the destruction of the motor’s inner workings and it is imperative to keep them at bay. Using poison inside the machine is effective, especially in the summer months.

What is the lifespan of an automated gate motor?

If your gate motor is pushing the correct load according to its make and model, it should last between 10 to 15 years. If your motor has a 20kg thrust output, you should not use it in conjunction with a gate that requires more than 10kg thrust. Speak to an experienced professional about the correct gate motor for the weight and size of your automated gate.
