Keep the gate cycling through load-shedding.
A big share of our Kraaifontein work is repairs, because the gates here work hard. Family homes in Scottsville, Belmont Park and Peerless Park open and close their gates dozens of times a day, and that daily cycling wears racks, drains batteries and eventually kills under-sized motors. The good news is most of what we see is a one-visit fix — a new rack, a fresh battery, a control board after a surge, or wheels realigned so the gate stops dragging. We come out, diagnose it free, and tell you honestly whether it is a repair or genuinely time for a new motor, rather than defaulting to the expensive answer.
When a replacement or new install is the right call, the priority is a motor properly sized for a gate that gets used constantly — an under-specced unit on a busy family gate is exactly what burns out and lands you back where you started. We fit backup batteries as standard so load-shedding does not leave you pushing the gate by hand, and we can add solar charging where the gate gets sun. New developments around Zonnendal and Langeberg get the same clean, right-sized install. Honest assessment first, then a quote that fits the job.
One visit, more done: Many Kraaifontein homes add a gate motor alongside our Kraaifontein CCTV installation or a DSTV install — one callout, everything working together.
Questions we get from Kraaifontein homeowners
Usually yes. Most Kraaifontein call-outs — worn racks, dead batteries, surge-blown boards, dragging wheels — are one-visit fixes. We diagnose free and get you moving again the same day where parts allow. Call 067 706 5216.
Often repair is the honest answer, and we will say so — a rack or battery is far cheaper than a new motor. When a motor is genuinely at end of life or was always under-sized for the gate, we tell you that too, so you are not paying to patch something that will fail again.
Almost always because it is under-sized for a gate that gets used constantly. Family gates here cycle dozens of times a day; an under-specced motor cannot cope and burns out. The fix is a motor rated for the gate’s real weight and daily use.
Yes — we fit properly sized backup batteries as standard, and can add solar charging where the gate gets sun, so it keeps cycling through outages instead of stranding you.
New installations start from around R4,500 depending on motor, gate size and backup; repairs are usually less and quoted after a free assessment. Call 067 706 5216.
