Garage doors and motors for Sandhurst's integrated home security
Sandhurst is right on Sandton's doorstep. In Sandhurst, a garage is rarely just a garage; it is a key access point within a larger, integrated security system on an extensive property. The garage door is often a large, automated part of a perimeter that may border busy roads like Sandton Drive. A failure or vulnerability here can compromise the entire property's security.
Our approach on Sandhurst properties is to assess the garage door and motor as part of your overall security. We make sure the motor is correctly specified for the large, often custom, doors found here and that its battery backup is reliable. We test the safety reverse functions meticulously, as these doors are often used by family and staff throughout the day.
For homeowners here, the most important issue is the link between the garage and the main house. An old remote code or a door left open is a significant security breach. We make sure to clear all old remotes, especially for new owners, and can install a sensor so your alarm system knows whether the garage door is open or closed.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our garage doors page.
Questions from Sandhurst
Can my garage door be linked to my home alarm system?
Yes. We can fit a sensor that reports the door's open or closed status to your alarm panel. Your security company can then program it so the alarm will not arm if the garage door is left open.
The motor struggles with our very wide, heavy door. Do we need a new door?
Not usually. The problem is often that the motor is under-specified for the door's weight, or the springs are no longer balancing it correctly. We can rebalance the door and fit a motor with enough power for its size.
