Garage & Gate Motor Installations

Garage door motor and gate motor installation, repair and maintenance. We supply and install reliable motors for sectional garage doors, overhead garage doors, swing gates and sliding gates. Our team ensures proper installation, safe operation and long-term reliability.

Gate and garage motors take a beating. They sit outside in the Highveld weather, they run through dust and rain, and they're expected to work at 6am when the gate is the only thing between you and the road. Most failures are gradual — the gate slows down, the motor strains, the remote needs three presses — and catching it early is a lot cheaper than a motor replacement.

When we install a motor, we size it to the actual gate. A heavy solid steel swing gate needs a different motor to a light aluminium sliding gate, and putting a small motor on a big gate is how you end up replacing gears every eighteen months. We also install the safety equipment that too many installations skip — photo beams, obstruction detection, and the legal requirement that the gate stops and reverses if it meets something.

Batteries are the most common failure point on backup systems, and the remote programming is the most common thing we get called out for. Both are quick fixes. On our maintenance visits we check the battery, the gears, the track and the safety beams so the motor keeps doing its job for years. And if a motor is beyond repair, we'll tell you straight — sometimes the money is better spent on a new unit than on keeping a ten-year-old one alive.
