Sliding driveway gate motors, solar and battery backup, and same-day repairs across Durbanville and the Northern Suburbs.
Sliding driveway gate motors, solar and battery backup, and same-day repairs across Durbanville and the Northern Suburbs.
Durbanville, Sonstraal, Vygeboom, Brackenfell and Kraaifontein — new installations, replacements and repairs.
The Northern Suburbs standard — sized correctly for your gate's weight and length.
Gates that work through load-shedding, with solar charging where sun allows.
Stuck open, stuck closed, slow or noisy — most call-outs are fixed in one visit.
Durbanville driveways mostly run sliding gates, and the difference between a motor that lasts ten years and one that dies in two is sizing and installation quality: a motor rated for the gate's real weight, a straight and clean rack, properly set limit switches and safety beams that stop the gate before it meets a car or a child. We install to that standard, and a large share of our Northern Suburbs work is repairing or replacing under-specced installs that were cheap for a reason.
Load-shedding turned battery backup from a nice-to-have into the first question every Durbanville homeowner asks. We fit properly sized backup batteries as standard practice, and where your gate gets sun we can add solar charging so the battery stays topped up even through heavy outage schedules — the gate opens every time, without you climbing out of the car in the rain to push it.
One visit, more done: Many Durbanville families combine a gate motor with our Durbanville CCTV installation or a DSTV install — one callout, everything working together.
Questions we get from Durbanville homeowners
It depends on your gate's weight, length and how many times a day it opens. An under-sized motor burns out early; an over-sized one wastes money. We do a free assessment, weigh those factors and recommend honestly — including battery capacity for load-shedding. Call 067 706 5216.
Yes, if it gets reasonable sun. We add a solar panel that keeps the backup battery charged, which means the gate keeps cycling through even heavy load-shedding schedules without depending on your house power at all.
Usually repairable. Common Durbanville call-outs — worn racks, dead batteries, blown boards after a surge, misaligned wheels — are one-visit fixes. We'll tell you straight when a motor is genuinely at end of life rather than selling you a new one by default.
Yes, and we recommend them on every driveway gate — they stop the gate instantly if a car, pet or child is in its path. They're included in our quote as standard rather than an afterthought.
Complete installations start from around R4,500 depending on the motor, gate size and whether backup and safety beams are included. We quote after a free site assessment. Call 067 706 5216.
