Gate motors for Abbotsford's large stands and park-side boundaries
Abbotsford is about 4 km south of Sandton City. Many Abbotsford homes are on large stands with long boundaries, often running alongside public spaces like James and Ethel Gray Park or the Orange Grove Spruit. The mature gardens that define the suburb mean that leaves, soil and twigs constantly find their way into sliding gate tracks, forcing the motor to strain against the obstruction.
Our first step is always to address the gate's mechanics. We clear the track and check for worn wheels or a misaligned rack, making sure the gate runs smoothly by hand. Only then do we assess the motor. For Abbotsford properties, we fit motors suited to the gate's weight, along with important safety beams, battery backup for power cuts and anti-theft brackets for added security.
For a household on a large Abbotsford property, the biggest concern is often who holds a remote. Remotes get shared between family, staff and service providers. If you have just bought your home, any remotes held by the previous owners may still work. We can wipe the gate motor's receiver and program only the remotes you have, making sure you control who comes onto your property.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our gate automation page.
Questions from Abbotsford
Our gate track is always full of leaves from the garden. Does this damage the motor?
Yes, it can. Debris in the track forces the motor to work much harder, which causes premature wear. We clear the track on every visit and check that the gate runs freely before we even look at the motor.
We've just bought a house in Abbotsford. Can the old owners still open our gate?
If their remotes were not deleted from the system, it's very likely they can. We recommend clearing the motor's memory completely and then re-linking only the remotes that are in your possession.
