Gate motors for Sandhurst's high-security perimeters and integrated systems
Sandhurst is right on Sandton's doorstep. In Sandhurst, a gate motor is a important part of a property's integrated security system. On these large stands, often bordering busy roads like Sandton Drive, the gate is the primary access point through a long, high-security perimeter. These are typically mature installations with heavy, custom gates set into older, high walls. The challenge is making sure the gate automation works seamlessly with the property's alarms and access control, without becoming the weakest link.
Our approach in Sandhurst is to assess the entire entrance system, not just the motor. We first make sure the heavy gate itself runs freely by hand, addressing any wear on wheels or hinges common in older installations. We then select a motor powerful enough for the gate's weight and duty cycle, making sure it integrates correctly with your existing security infrastructure. We also fit important enhancements like anti-theft brackets and confirm safety beams are correctly aligned.
For a new homeowner in Sandhurst, the immediate priority is knowing who has access. The remotes used by the previous owner's family, staff, and contractors could still be active, compromising your security from day one. We clear the gate motor's receiver memory completely, and then program only the remotes you authorise. This single action secures your main entrance and gives you full control over who can enter your property.

Questions from Sandhurst
We've just bought our home. How do we make sure old gate remotes no longer work?
The only way to be certain is to wipe the motor's receiver memory and re-program only your remotes. We can do this for you, making sure you have complete control over who has access.
Our gate motor doesn't seem to link to our main alarm system. Can this be fixed?
Yes. We can integrate most gate motors with other security systems. We check the wiring and compatibility to make sure the gate's status is correctly reported to your alarm or access control panel.
