What's wrong?
Tap what your gate or garage is doing. We'll tell you the usual cause and open WhatsApp with the message already written.
Usually power, battery or the remote
Check the motor has power and its light is on. If the remote's light is dim, try a new remote battery. If the motor hums but nothing moves, the battery or a stripped gear is the usual suspect.
A guide, not a diagnosis. Don't force a motor by hand unless it's on manual release.

Power's out.
Your gate isn't.
A healthy battery runs most gate motors through load shedding and power cuts. If yours gives up after one or two opens, the battery is usually done. We test it and swap it on the spot.

Questions, answered
Which gate motor brands do you work on?
The common sliding and swing gate motors and garage door openers, and we fit top-brand equipment on new installs. Tell us the make on your motor when you call.
Do you do emergency callouts?
Yes. The phone is answered 24 hours a day: call 082 467 4384. Ask about the after-hours rate when you call.
Which areas do you cover?
Fish Hoek and the far south of the Peninsula: Kommetjie, Noordhoek, Sun Valley, Simon's Town, Kalk Bay and Muizenberg. Further afield? Ask when you call.
How long does a gate motor battery last?
Roughly two to three years. If the gate dies after one or two opens during load shedding, it's time for a new one. We test and swap batteries on the spot.
How do I open my gate by hand?
Most motors have a key-operated manual release on the motor housing. Unlock it, turn the lever, and the gate slides freely. Lock it back afterwards or the motor won't drive it. Not sure? Send us a photo of the motor.
Can you add a remote or remove a lost one?
Yes. We code new remotes to your receiver on site, and can clear the memory so a lost or stolen remote stops working.
Do you give quotes before starting?
Always. You'll know the price before any work begins.
