Monday, 7am, at a new house in Waterfall. The paving team is unloading pavers for the driveway, and nobody has laid a pipe under it for the gate motor cable. By Wednesday the driveway is finished, and the cable has nowhere to go.
Much of Waterfall is new. Offices, warehouses, apartment blocks and estates stand on what was open farmland not long ago, so the gates, motors and intercoms here are usually new too, and the best time to plan them is before the builders leave.
Our teams come to Waterfall from our workshop in Kya Sands, Randburg, and the installers on your site are our own. Bring us in while the plans are still on paper, and the sleeves, cables and footings go in with the build.
Before the paving goes down
A gate motor needs power, and an intercom needs a cable from the pillar to the house. On a new build in Waterfall or Jukskei View, both cables cross the driveway, so the pipes for them have to go in before the paving does. The motor also needs a concrete plinth in the right place, set to the height of the gate.
If you're building, call us while the walls are still going up. We come to site, mark where the motor, the plinth and the intercom pillar go, and tell your builder which pipes to lay and where. When the gate is ready, it goes on without lifting a single paver.
Gate automation →Truck gates in the logistics precincts
Between the N1 and the R55, Waterfall's warehouses and distribution centres take trucks at all hours. A truck gate here can open hundreds of times between one morning and the next, and a motor built for a home driveway soon wears out under that work.
We fit heavy sliding gates made in our own workshop, with motors chosen for the number of times the gate opens, plus boom gates for the truck lanes and turnstiles for the staff entrance. A service level agreement gives the site 24-hour access to our technicians, so a gate failing at 2am doesn't leave the next truck waiting on the road.
Boom gates and turnstiles →When the garage door is the gate
In many of Waterfall's newer estates, the houses stand behind open lawns with no front wall and no driveway gate. The estate guards the perimeter, and the garage door becomes the only door you open from the car.
This puts the garage door motor to work every time you come home, power cut or not. We fit garage door motors with battery backup, and add alarm sensors and outdoor beams to the house, so your home is covered inside the estate's walls too.

Questions from Waterfall
Which parts of Waterfall do you cover?
We cover Waterfall and the areas around it, including Waterfall City, Jukskei View, Kyalami and the edge of Barbeque Downs. Our teams travel from our workshop in Kya Sands, on the far side of Fourways. We work on homes inside estates, new builds, apartment blocks, offices, and the warehouses and distribution centres along the N1. Much of Waterfall is new, so many gates and motors here are going in for the first time. We install them, and we also repair and service systems other companies put in. If your development is too new to appear on this list, send us the suburb or the nearest main road, and we'll confirm. Our areas page lists everywhere else we work, including Midrand, Fourways and Sandton.
Can you fit a gate and motor while my house is still being built?
Yes, and the earlier you call us, the less gets dug up later. The best time is before the driveway is paved and the boundary walls are plastered. On a site visit, we look at the plans and the plot, then mark where the motor plinth, the intercom pillar and the power supply should go. We tell your builder which pipes to lay under the driveway, so the cables can be pulled through later without lifting pavers. Many Waterfall estates have architectural guidelines for gates and walls, so send us yours with your enquiry, and we design the gate to fit them. The gate is made in our Kya Sands workshop and fitted once the building work around it is done. You get a written quotation before anything is ordered or made.
Do you work at warehouses with trucks coming in all night?
Yes. We install and maintain truck gates, boom gates, turnstiles, access control and industrial fencing for warehouses, distribution centres and offices across Waterfall. A gate at a busy logistics site opens far more often than a home gate, so we size the motor, the wheels and the track for that traffic, and we plan installations around your shifts. Access can run on tags, cards, codes or fingerprints, with a record of who came in and when. A service level agreement gives you scheduled maintenance visits and 24-hour access to our technicians, including weekends, public holidays and nights. Finance is available on commercial service contracts. Every job starts with a site visit, where we look at the gate, the traffic and the fence line. Afterwards, you get a written quotation.
My house has no gate, only a garage door. What do I need?
Inside many Waterfall estates, the estate looks after the perimeter wall, the boom and the guards, and your garage door is the way into your home. So start with the garage door motor. A motor with battery backup keeps opening during power cuts, and recoding the remotes stops a lost one opening your garage. Next comes the house: alarm sensors inside, beams on the lawn outside, and cameras you can view on your phone. Contractor rules differ from estate to estate, so tell us yours when you contact us, and we plan the visit around them. On the site visit, we look at the house, the doors and the garden, then tell you plainly what you need and what you don't. You get a written quotation before any work starts.

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.
