Gates, intercoms and fencing in Krugersdorp

From our workshop in Kya Sands, Randburg, we install and repair gates, gate motors, intercoms and fencing for homes, smallholdings and industrial yards across Krugersdorp.

You reverse down a steep driveway in Rant-en-Dal at 7:05am on a weekday, press the remote, and the sliding gate stops a hand's width short of closed. The wheel has rolled into a dip in the track, and you sit with the handbrake on and the car's nose in the street.

Krugersdorp sits in Mogale City, west of Roodepoort, and it's a longer drive from our Kya Sands workshop than Randburg is. So we plan each visit to count. We ask for photos and the make of your motor before we come, and we quote in writing after we have seen the site.

Our own installers and technicians do the work, and we repair motors other companies installed as well as our own. On a steep Krugersdorp driveway, the fix is often a new wheel, a levelled track or a motor sized for the slope.

Ridge and valley driveways

Noordheuwel means north hill, and Rant-en-Dal means ridge and valley. In both suburbs, many driveways climb or drop steeply from the street. A sliding gate needs a level track to run on, and a swing gate needs room to open without scraping the rising paving.

On the site visit we measure the fall across the opening as well as its width. Then we quote for a gate built to the slope: a sliding gate on a raised plinth with a level track, or a swing gate hung to open toward the lower ground. A gate built for the slope closes fully, instead of stopping in a dip a hand's width short.

Smallholdings toward Muldersdrift

On the northern edge of Krugersdorp, toward Muldersdrift, homes sit on smallholdings with a gravel road between the gate and the house. The gate can be a long walk from the kitchen, and a courier waiting there at 2pm can't ring a doorbell nobody will hear.

A GSM intercom at the gate calls your phone, so you can answer and open from the house or from town. We add electric fencing along the boundary, and battery or solar backup, so the gate and the fence keep working when the power goes off.

Yard gates in Factoria and Chamdor

Factoria and Chamdor are Krugersdorp's industrial areas, with workshops, depots and yards behind steel gates. A yard gate here opens for every truck, all day, and each opening wears the wheels, the rack and the motor a little more.

We make heavy sliding gates in our own workshop and fit them with motors suited to the traffic. A maintenance plan brings a technician back at regular intervals to check the wheels, rack and battery, so the gate is serviced before it fails with a truck halfway through. A service level agreement adds 24-hour access to our technicians.

We offer service level agreements and finance for your security. Each one is a service contract with 24-hour support at night and on weekends.

Questions from Krugersdorp

Do you come out to Krugersdorp?

Yes. We cover Krugersdorp and the suburbs around it, including Krugersdorp North, Krugersdorp West, Noordheuwel, Monument, Rant-en-Dal, Kenmare, Silverfields, Mindalore and Chancliff, as well as the industrial areas of Factoria and Chamdor. Our teams travel from our workshop in Kya Sands, Randburg, which is a longer drive than our nearer areas, so we prepare before we come. Send us a photo of your gate and motor, the make if you know it, and a short description of the fault. This helps the technician bring the right parts and finish on the first visit where possible. New gates, fences and intercoms start with a site visit and a written quotation. For a suburb or plot not named here, send it to us on WhatsApp or through the form on this page, and we'll confirm before you book.

Can you automate a gate on a steep driveway?

Yes, in most cases. A sliding gate needs a level track, so on a sloping driveway we build a raised concrete plinth across the opening and fit the motor to the level section. A swing gate needs room to open, so we hang it to swing toward the lower ground, or make the leaves shorter so they clear the rising paving. In some steep openings a sliding gate works better than a swing gate, or the other way round, and we tell you which on the site visit. We measure the fall across the opening as well as its width, because a gate made for a flat driveway won't close properly on a slope. An existing gate on a slope can often be corrected too, by levelling the track again or rehanging the leaves. You get a written quotation before any work starts.

Will my gate open when the power is off?

Most gate motors run on a battery, which the mains power keeps charged. When the power goes off, the battery keeps the gate working for a while, but a weak battery may manage only a few openings, or none at all. If your gate slows down or stops during a power cut, the battery is the first thing we test. Gate batteries tend to need replacing every few years, and a maintenance plan includes checking them. For longer outages, or for a gate on a smallholding far from the house, we install solar panels and battery backup, so the gate, the electric fence and the lights keep going. Most motors also have a manual release, which lets you open and close the gate by hand. Ask us to show you how yours works on our next visit, before you need it on a dark evening.

Do you work on factory and yard gates?

Yes. We make heavy sliding gates for factories, depots and yards in our own workshop in Kya Sands, and our own team installs them. We also install palisade and mesh fencing with electric strands, boom gates for vehicle entrances and cameras along the fence line, and we repair gates and motors other companies installed. In Factoria and Chamdor, a yard gate can open for trucks all day, so its wheels, rack and motor wear faster than those on a home gate. A maintenance plan brings a technician back at regular intervals to check them before they fail. A service level agreement adds 24-hour access to our technicians, including nights and weekends, so a gate stuck open after the last shift gets answered. Finance is available on commercial service contracts. Every job starts with a site visit and a written quotation.

Talk to us about your home and business security needs

You shouldn't have to sit at the bottom of your own driveway, wondering whether the gate will close. With Paul's Gates you won't. Send us a message or chat on WhatsApp, and we will come and look.
