Automatic gates and garage doors are great — until power trips, batteries die, or the motor wiring gets waterlogged. We install and repair safe, tidy electrical connections for gate and garage motors across Harare so your access stays reliable.
Our focus is simple: the right cable size, weather-rated isolators, proper earthing/bonding, and surge protection for lightning and grid-return spikes. We route cabling neatly in conduit, seal outdoor junctions, and label everything at the DB.
Whether it’s a sliding gate, swing gate with dual motors, or sectional/roll-up garage door, we provide a dedicated circuit or reconfigure your DB to avoid nuisance tripping. We also integrate backup options so the system still works during load-shedding.
Already have a motor that’s misbehaving? Common issues include undersized cables, blown fuses, water ingress, flat batteries, faulty limit switches, or weak chargers. We diagnose the true cause and fix it properly — not just a quick reset.
If you have an inverter, generator or solar, we’ll integrate your gate/garage circuit correctly so batteries charge safely and the motor runs without damaging electronics or back-feeding ZETDC.
From Borrowdale and Mount Pleasant to Avondale, Highlands, Greendale, Westgate, Mabelreign, Chisipite and the CBD — we keep access motors wired safely, protected and dependable.
FAQs
1) Do gate and garage motors need a dedicated circuit?
Ideally, yes. A dedicated, correctly sized circuit with an accessible isolator prevents nuisance tripping and allows safe maintenance. We’ll confirm DB capacity and install protection to suit the motor and cable run.
2) Will my motor work during load-shedding?
With a healthy battery/charger, yes. We check or supply the correct charger, recommend suitable battery capacity, and can add a small solar trickle charger if the location is sunny. We also make sure the circuit plays nicely with inverters or generators.
3) How do you protect motors from lightning and surges?
We fit surge protection (SPD) at the main board and, where helpful, add point-of-use protection. Proper earthing and sealed outdoor junctions help the SPD do its job and keep electronics alive during storms and grid returns.
4) My gate keeps tripping the power — is the motor faulty?
Sometimes, but not always. Overloaded tracks, water inside the control box, undersized wiring, or a failing battery/charger can all cause trips. We test step-by-step to find the real fault before replacing parts.
5) Can you add accessories (keypads, beams, intercom, Wi-Fi)?
Yes. We power and wire safety beams, keypads, GSM/Wi-Fi modules and intercoms, making sure low-voltage and mains wiring are separated and protected. We’ll label it all for easy future servicing.
6) How long does installation or repair take?
Most new connections or straightforward repairs take 1–3 hours. Complex sites, long cable runs, or water damage can take longer. We’ll give you a practical timeframe when booking.
