Roller Shutter Door Motorisation and Automation in Pretoria

The most common motor failure we see in Pretoria is not a faulty operator. It is a working operator that was never rated for the door hung on it. A replacement door is almost always heavier than the one it replaced, and the motor carried over on faith fails within a year.

Specifying a roller shutter door motor

• Door weight and size measured, not estimated from the previous installation.
• Duty cycle. A basement gate in Hatfield and a domestic garage in Waterkloof need different classes of operator at the same door weight.
• Soft start and stop where the door is heavy or the floor is uneven.
• Travel limits set and recorded on commissioning rather than left at factory defaults.
• Safety edges and photocells on any opening shared by vehicles and people, which covers most Pretoria commercial installations.

Roller shutter door motors and load shedding backup

Battery backup is quoted rather than assumed, and rated in cycles so you know what you are buying. On a Pretoria office basement a gate that cannot open during an outage holds up an entire level, so backup is usually justified. On a domestic double garage with a side gate it often is not, and we will tell you that instead of selling it.

Manual release is fitted on every installation, positioned where an adult can reach it without standing on a car, and demonstrated at handover.

Roller shutter door automation and access control

We integrate with the tag, remote and intercom systems already installed across Pretoria office blocks and estates, and pair and test everything before leaving site. Tell us the make of your existing system with the enquiry and we confirm compatibility before the survey.

Roller shutter door motorisation in Pretoria estates

Silver Lakes, Faerie Glen and the Moreleta Park clusters generally set the door type, colour and sometimes the operator through the HOA or body corporate. Send us the scheme rules and we quote to them, so a correctly fitted door is not later removed.

Motorising an existing roller shutter door

Not every door should be automated. If the curtain is worn, the springs are at end of life or the guides are distorted, adding a motor accelerates the failure. We assess the door first and tell you honestly whether it is worth motorising or whether the money is better spent on the door.
