Gate motors for Lombardy's freestanding homes and large stands
Lombardy is about 7 km east of Sandton City. In Lombardy, many properties are freestanding homes on large stands. This typically means a long, heavy sliding gate set into an established boundary wall. Over time, mature gardens can cause problems, with leaves filling the track or tree roots disturbing the gate's path. For the sectional title properties scattered through the area, the main issue is a high volume of traffic through a single entrance, which puts different demands on the gate and motor.
Because of this, our focus in Lombardy is always on the gate's physical condition first. We make sure the gate runs freely by hand, clearing tracks and checking wheels before assessing the motor. For a private home, this extends the motor's life. For a complex entrance, we specify a motor rated for its high duty cycle, paired with safety beams to manage the flow of resident and visitor traffic safely.
For homeowners in Lombardy, especially those new to their property, control over access is key. Every remote issued by previous owners could still be active. We can wipe the motor's memory and program only your remotes, giving you a clean start. We also make sure the battery backup is correctly sized and charged, so your gate isn't left vulnerable during power cuts.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our gate automation page.
Questions from Lombardy
My gate has become noisy and struggles to open. Is it the motor?
Not always. On properties with established gardens like those in Lombardy, the problem is often debris like leaves or sand in the track, or worn wheels. We check and fix the gate's mechanics first to make sure it runs smoothly by hand.
We've just moved into our home in Lombardy. Can the previous owners' remotes still open the gate?
Yes, they can. For your security, we recommend clearing the gate motor's receiver of all old remotes. We can then reprogram only the remotes that you authorise.
