Gate motors for Norscot's freestanding homes and large plots
Norscot is about 11 km north-west of Sandton City. Norscot is defined by its freestanding houses, many on large, established plots with mature gardens. A gate here is often wide and heavy to secure a long driveway, and the motor works against more than just its weight. Debris from trees near Norscot Koppies or Kingfisher Park can clog tracks, and older gates can drop over time, causing friction and strain.
Our work in Norscot starts with the gate itself, not the motor. We make sure it runs freely by hand by servicing wheels and clearing the track before making any decisions. We then match the motor to the gate's size and weight, fitting important battery backup for power cuts, anti-theft brackets, and safety beams to protect family and pets.
For anyone who has just bought a home in Norscot, the biggest oversight is access control. Every remote handed out by the previous owners may still work. Our first job for new homeowners is to wipe the motor's receiver completely and program only the remotes you authorise, so you have full control over who can enter your property from the day you move in.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our gate automation page.
Questions from Norscot
My large gate is noisy and struggles to open. Is the motor failing?
Not always. On Norscot's established properties, the most common issues are worn gate wheels or leaves and grit in the track. We service the gate mechanics first to make it run smoothly before we even assess the motor.
We've just moved into our house. Can the previous residents still open the gate?
Yes, if the motor's memory was never cleared. We strongly advise wiping the receiver and reprogramming only your remotes. This is a simple step that gives you complete control over who has access to your new home.
