Get your gate moving again.
Fault finding and repairs for sliding gates, swing gates and traffic barriers in Faerie Glen and nearby Pretoria East areas.
We work on Centurion, Gemini, E.T. Nice and DTS systems, as well as gate wheels, tracks, remotes, batteries and related gate hardware.
Emergency enquiries accepted 24/7.
More than the motor itself.
A gate may stop because of electronics, power, the remote or the physical gate. We check the system before recommending a part or a replacement motor.
Motor and control faults
Fault finding, resets, control boards, chargers, fuses and motor-related problems.
Batteries and supply
Battery replacement and checks of the charging system and incoming power.
Remotes and programming
Remote faults, new remotes and programming for compatible systems.
Wheels and track
Worn wheels, difficult movement, rail obstructions and alignment issues that overload the motor.
Gate and rail repairs
Gate straightening, rail levelling and welding work where the gate structure needs attention.
Motor replacement
If a repair is not economical, we can quote a suitable replacement system for the gate.
What is your gate doing?
| Symptom | Possible causes | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| No response to the remote | Remote battery, receiver, power or control fault | Remote operation and motor power |
| Gate opens but will not close | Safety device, obstruction or settings | Beams, track and programmed operation |
| Moves a short distance and stops | Low battery, heavy gate or movement fault | Battery, wheels, track and load |
| Beeps and moves slowly | Battery or charging problem | Battery condition and charging system |
| Hits the end stop hard | Travel setting or mechanical problem | Limits, stops and gate movement |
These are possible causes. A site diagnosis is needed before choosing a repair.
The gate and the motor work together.
A weak battery can make a gate move slowly or stop partway. Worn wheel bearings and a dirty track make the gate harder to move, placing extra load on the motor. A damaged remote may fail to send a reliable signal.
Other faults can involve the charger, controller, fuses or incoming power. Replacing a motor without fixing a heavy or obstructed gate may leave the original problem in place.
Repairs for familiar local systems.
Centurion
We diagnose older and newer Smart models. Battery, incoming power and electronic faults are considered alongside the gate’s movement.
Gemini
We assess Gemini sliding and swing motors, including fuse, battery, board and other system faults.
E.T. Nice and DTS
Fault finding and repairs for these gate automation systems, subject to parts availability and model condition.
Choose the sensible route for the gate.
Many motors can be repaired through resetting, programming or replacing a failed component. A proper diagnosis shows whether the motor, gate or supporting hardware is responsible.
Replacement may make more sense where damage is severe, an older model has discontinued parts, or the repair cost approaches the price of a suitable new system.

Tell us the symptom
Send a photo, location and description of what the gate does.
Diagnose on site
We check the motor, power, controls and physical gate movement.
Agree on the repair
We explain the fault and quote any parts or additional work.
Test and hand over
We test opening, closing and controls after the work.
Boom gate repairs and maintenance.
The service also covers traffic barriers used at busy entrances. These systems need correct operation and regular maintenance because a malfunction can affect vehicles and access.
Tell us the barrier model, site location, traffic level and fault when requesting an assessment.
Damage assessments and quotations.
Storms, lightning and power surges can damage gate automation equipment. If you are considering an insurance claim, check your policy and ask your insurer what documentation it requires.
We can assess the damage and provide a repair or replacement quotation. Cover, excesses and the choice of service provider depend on your insurer and policy terms.
Good to know.
Can a gate motor usually be repaired?
Often, yes. Programming, a battery or a replaceable part may solve the fault. Severe damage or discontinued parts can change that recommendation.
What can I check before calling?
Note any error display, beeps or visible obstruction on the track. Check whether another remote works. Avoid opening electrical covers or forcing the gate.
Do worn wheels affect the motor?
Yes. A gate that becomes heavy to move puts more load on the motor and battery. The wheels and track should be assessed.
Are replacement parts available?
The current page says common parts are carried for repair work. Exact stock depends on the motor model and fault.
Is there an after-hours surcharge?
The original page says there is no extra emergency or after-hours rate in Faerie Glen. Confirm the applicable total when arranging the visit.
How often should a gate be maintained?
Regular checks help catch wheel, track, battery and control problems early. The original page suggests a technician check about every six months.
