Glen Austin is smallholdings and plots on Midrand's eastern edge, with long boundaries and gates a considerable distance from the houses they serve.
Distance decides everything
The cable run is the main cost of any new installation and the main cause of intermittent faults on old ones.
Done properly in conduit and below ground where it crosses, it lasts. Done cheaply it produces faults that track the weather and take longer to trace than the installation took to do.
Where a run is genuinely impractical, GSM removes the problem entirely.
Boundaries and forgotten gates
A plot typically has a main entrance and one or more service or paddock gates that nobody has opened in years.
An unused gate seizes, which means either it fails when you need it or it stopped securing anything. The annual walk with every key and remote is the highest-value habit on a property this size. On a slider, the track and the rack are dealt with under sliding gate repairs.
Heavy gates on long runs
Plot gates are substantial and the runs are long, which puts real emphasis on matching the motor to the weight rather than to a price point. Where the fault turns out to be the motor itself, that is ordinary gate motor repair work rather than anything exotic.
