At 6:50am the school run is already queued at the boom of a Fourways estate. A delivery van waits behind it, and the visitor intercom has stopped answering. Nobody moves until somebody fixes it.
Fourways is a short drive east of our Kya Sands workshop, along Witkoppen Road. Much of it is estates and cluster complexes, where one gate, one boom and one intercom serve dozens or hundreds of households.
We install and repair what keeps those entrances moving: gate motors, remotes, intercoms, boom gates and access control. We also do the same work for the homes inside.
Estates have rules. We ask for them first.
Many Fourways estates set rules for what goes on a boundary: the colour of a gate, the height of a fence, the motor brands allowed, and the hours contractors may work. Some want plans approved by the home ownersâ association before a bolt goes in.
Send us your estateâs rules with your enquiry. We quote to fit them, so the gate you approve is the gate the estate approves too.
Driveway gates âCluster complexes and the remote nobody can find
In a cluster complex, every household carries a remote for the same gate. Tenants move out. A remote goes missing from a car. After a few years, nobody knows how many remotes still open the gate, or whose hands they are in.
We can clear old remotes from the gate motorâs receiver and code new ones. For complexes wanting more control, we fit tags, keypads or fingerprint readers, so a lost remote opens nothing.
Remote and motor security âFor home ownersâ associations and body corporates
A shared entrance fails in front of everyone. The boom sticks at 7:30am, and the managing agentâs phone rings until lunch.
We install, service and repair boom gates, multi-unit intercoms, gate motors and access control for estates and complexes. A service level agreement gives you regular service visits and 24-hour access to our technicians.

Questions from Fourways
Can you work inside my estate?
Yes. We work inside estates and gated complexes across Fourways every week, for both residents and estate management. Most estates have contractor rules, and we follow them. Tell us your estate's rules when you contact us: gate passes, working hours, vehicle registration, approval forms and any restrictions on noise or materials. We plan the visit around them, so our team is expected at the gate and doesn't lose time being turned away. Some estates need a few days to approve contractors, so let us know early if your job is urgent. Many estates also have architectural rules for new gates, burglar bars and steelwork. We can design within those rules and supply drawings for approval before anything is made. Every job comes with a written quotation.
Do you work for home ownersâ associations and body corporates?
Yes. We install and maintain shared gates, boom gates, turnstiles, intercoms, access control, cameras and electric fencing for estates, complexes and their home owners' associations and body corporates. We work with trustees, managing agents and estate managers, and we provide written quotations suited to approval at a meeting. Shared systems carry more traffic than a home gate, so they need regular servicing to stay reliable. A service level agreement gives you scheduled maintenance visits and 24-hour access to our technicians, so a boom stuck at 7:30am or a gate failing on a Sunday night gets answered. Finance is available on commercial service contracts. We can also take over systems installed by another company, starting with an inspection of their condition and a written report for the trustees.
Which areas around Fourways do you cover?
We cover Fourways and the suburbs around it, including Lonehill, Craigavon, Broadacres, Witkoppen, Dainfern, Paulshof, Douglasdale and Chartwell. Our workshop in Kya Sands is close by, so our teams reach most of Fourways quickly. We work on homes, gated complexes, estates, shopping centres, offices and business parks across the area. Fourways has a lot of estate living, so much of our work here is shared gates, boom gates, intercoms and access control, alongside private homes inside the estates. Close by, but outside these suburbs? Send us your suburb on WhatsApp or through the form on this page, and we'll tell you whether we come to you. Our areas page lists everywhere else we work, including Randburg, Sandton and the suburbs between them.
Can a lost remote be blocked?
Yes. Every gate remote is stored on the receiver in the gate motor, and any one of them can be deleted. A lost or stolen remote stops working the moment it comes off the receiver, while the others keep working. To remove the right one, you need to know which remote is which, so keep a written list of who has each. In an estate or complex with a shared gate, this is even more important, because a lost remote opens the gate for everyone. Many estates now use tags, codes or fingerprints instead, which can be removed from the system in minutes. If you're not sure which remote is missing, the safest step is to clear the receiver and re-add only the remotes you can find. We can do this on a call-out.
