Randjesfontein is equestrian smallholdings on Midrand's northern side, with very long frontages and gates set well back from the houses.
Long frontages, long runs
Getting power and signal a hundred metres to a gate is the substantial part of any installation here, and it is where the difference between quotes lives.
Properly trenched and conduited, it lasts. Laid shallow, it produces intermittent faults within a year that cost more to trace than the job cost to do.
Multiple gates on one boundary
A main entrance, a service gate, and one or more paddock gates — with the last of those frequently untouched for years and seized when it is finally needed. On a slider, the track and the rack are dealt with under sliding gate repairs.
Walking the boundary once a year with everything that opens a gate produces a short list of cleaning and adjustment rather than replacement.
Intercoms where nobody can see the gate
The house cannot see the entrance, which makes the intercom a security function. Video is worth more here than in a dense suburb for exactly that reason, and GSM removes the cable problem where trenching is impractical. Where the fault turns out to be the motor itself, that is ordinary gate motor repair work rather than anything exotic.
