President Park is a mix of smallholdings and residential development on Midrand's eastern side, where plot properties and ordinary stands sit close together.
Plots and suburban stands together
On the plot side the gate is far from the house, the cable run is the significant piece of work, and there is usually more than one entrance — with the second untouched for years.
On the suburban side it is an ordinary sliding gate on an ordinary stand, and the track decides the life of the motor.
The two need completely different first questions, which is why we establish which before a vehicle leaves.
Unused gates seize
On a plot, an unused service or paddock gate does not stay pristine — it seizes. Either it will not open when the main entrance is down, or it stopped securing the boundary some time ago. On a slider, the track and the rack are dealt with under sliding gate repairs.
Walking the whole boundary once a year with everything that opens a gate turns that unknown into a short list. Where the fault turns out to be the motor itself, that is ordinary gate motor repair work rather than anything exotic.
Cabling at distance
A run laid properly in conduit and below ground where it crosses anything lasts. One laid shallow produces intermittent faults that come and go with the weather.
Where re-trenching a long run is impractical, GSM removes the problem rather than being a compromise.
