Common Gate Motor Problems We Fix
Most gate motor failures in Edenvale come down to a handful of causes: a worn-out battery, power surges after load shedding, ants or debris in the electronics, or a gate that has dropped off its track. We find the real cause instead of just swapping parts.
Quick check before you call: is the motor’s charger light on, and is the gate in locked (not manual) mode? If both look fine and it still won’t move, give us a call.

Garage Door Repairs Done Safely
Garage door springs and cables are under serious tension and can cause real injury if handled incorrectly. Our technicians have the right tools to release, replace and re-balance them safely, then test the door through full cycles before we leave.
We work on single and double sectional doors, tip-up doors, roll-up doors, wooden (meranti) doors and aluzinc/chromadek doors.
Safety tip: if you suspect a broken spring, don’t keep running the motor — the extra strain can burn it out and turn a spring job into a motor replacement.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Why has my gate motor stopped working after load shedding?
The most common causes are a battery that can no longer hold charge, or a power surge when electricity returns that damages the charger or control card. A battery test is usually the first thing we check.
How often should a gate motor battery be replaced?
Typically every 2 to 3 years, and sooner if your area has frequent outages. If your gate is slow or dies during load shedding, the battery is likely on its way out.
Can I replace a broken garage door spring myself?
We strongly advise against it. Springs are under high tension and can cause serious injury. Springs are also best replaced as a pair, because the remaining old spring is usually weakened.
My garage door motor runs but the door doesn’t move. What’s wrong?
The motor may be disengaged (manual release pulled), the belt or chain may be broken, or a spring may have snapped. Stop operating it and give us a call.
Can you code a new remote to my existing gate and garage motor?
Yes. We supply and code remotes for most systems, and can clear lost or stolen remotes from your receiver’s memory.
Do you work on complexes and businesses?
Yes — we service gates and garage doors for homes, townhouse complexes, body corporates and commercial properties in Edenvale and surrounds.
