Gate motors for Benmore Gardens' sectional title complexes and shared access points
Benmore is right on Sandton's doorstep. In Benmore Gardens, many gates do not serve a single home. They secure sectional title complexes, high-rise apartment blocks, and business premises that run along major roads like Grayston Drive and Benmore Road. These properties often have multiple entrances or long shared perimeters with neighbouring buildings. A gate here must handle constant residential and commercial traffic, from residents leaving for work to deliveries for offices, all day long.
For these high-traffic gates, we choose a motor rated for continuous daily use. The mechanics of the gate are just as important; we make sure wheels, tracks and rollers are sound before fitting any motor. Because so many people use one entrance, safety beams are important to prevent accidents. We also fit anti-theft brackets and reliable battery backup systems to keep access flowing during power cuts.
For the trustees and managing agents in Benmore Gardens, the biggest challenge is often controlling who has access. In buildings with a regular turnover of tenants and staff, old remotes are a security risk. On a service visit, our most important job is often to clear the gate motor's receiver of all existing remotes and then reprogram only the ones currently approved by the body corporate. This gives you a clean, up-to-date list of who can open the gate.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our gate automation page.
Questions from Benmore
We manage a complex in Benmore Gardens. How do we stop ex-tenants from accessing the property with their old gate remotes?
We can wipe all registered remotes from the gate motor's memory. We then re-program only the remotes for current, approved residents. This ensures old remotes no longer work.
Our building's gate is very busy. Will the battery backup handle load shedding?
It depends on the battery's condition and the amount of traffic. A standard battery should last for several cycles. We check the battery and charging system on every visit and can recommend a larger capacity battery if needed for a high-volume entrance.
Every Benmore property is different, so we look before we quote. Send us a photo or call, and we will arrange a visit and a written quote for your gate motor work.
