Roller Shutter Door Motorisation and Automation in Sandton

The most common motor failure we see in Sandton is not a faulty operator. It is a correctly 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. We weigh the finished door and size the operator to it.

Specifying a roller shutter door motor

• Door weight and size measured, not estimated from the previous installation.
• Duty cycle. A basement gate in Sandown and a domestic garage in Morningside need different classes of operator even at the same door weight.
• Soft start and stop where the door is heavy or the floor is uneven, so the curtain is not driven into the slab.
• 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 in Sandton is most commercial installations.

Roller shutter door motors and load shedding backup

Battery backup is quoted rather than assumed, and we rate it in cycles so you know what you are buying. On a Sandton 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 and positioned where an adult can reach it without standing on a car. We demonstrate it at handover to the person who will actually need it, not only to whoever signed the order.

Roller shutter door automation and access control

We integrate with the tag, remote and intercom systems already installed across Sandton office blocks and estates, and we pair and test everything before leaving site. Tell us the make of your existing access system with the enquiry and we will confirm compatibility before the survey rather than discovering it on the day.

Roller shutter door motorisation in Sandton estates

Bryanston, Morningside and the Sandton cluster developments generally set the door type, the colour and sometimes the operator through the body corporate or HOA. Send us the scheme rules and we quote to them. It is a short step that stops a trustee asking for a correctly fitted door to be removed.

Motorising an existing roller shutter door

Not every door should be automated. If the curtain is worn, the springs are at the end of their 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.
