Constantia gates are a different class of problem: wide double wooden swing gates, farm-style entrances and heavy steel sliders at the end of long driveways. Automating them properly means dual swing-gate motors with the torque for the leaf weight, mounting that respects an older gate's hinges and posts, and — because the gate is often 50 metres or more from the front door — intercom integration so you can answer and open from inside the house. That's the work we do across the Constantia Valley.
Heavy gates also punish weak backup systems: a battery that cycles a light suburban slider a dozen times will manage a heavy wooden pair only twice. We size backup batteries for your actual gate weight and load-shedding schedule, and many Constantia clients pair the gate with a camera at the entrance so every arrival is both controlled and recorded — one visit, one system.
Heavy-gate specialists: Dual swing motors, torque-matched hardware and entrance cameras in one visit — see our Constantia CCTV installation. DSTV at the same property? We handle that too.
Questions we get from Constantia homeowners
Yes — that's classic Constantia work. Wide wooden pairs need dual swing motors with the right torque, solid pier mounting and careful limit setup so the leaves close square. We assess the gate's weight and hinges first, and reinforce where the timber or posts need it. Call 067 706 5216.
Intercom integration. You answer from inside, see or speak to the visitor, and press to open. On long Constantia driveways we pair it with an entrance camera so you have a recorded view of everyone who comes down the drive.
Yes, if the backup is sized honestly. A heavy pair of leaves draws far more per cycle than a light slider, so we spec the battery for your gate's real weight and your outage schedule — not the cheapest cell that fits the box.
Yes. We integrate gate status and triggering with intercoms, keypads, tag readers and camera systems, so the entrance works as one system rather than three gadgets that ignore each other.
Complete installations start from around R4,500 depending on the motor, gate size and whether backup and safety beams are included. Heavy swing pairs and long-driveway setups are quoted after a free site assessment. Call 067 706 5216.
