Parkhurst is a tight grid of small stands and restored cottages, where driveways are narrow and a standard sliding gate frequently will not fit at all.
No room for a slider
On most Parkhurst frontages there is nowhere for a sliding gate to travel into, which rules it out entirely.
That makes swing gates the norm and arm selection the most consequential decision on the installation. Where the pillar sits proud of the wall or the leaf has to swing through a tight arc, only an articulated arm will last. On a slider, the track and the rack are dealt with under sliding gate repairs.
Fitting a straight ram in that position is the fault we most often come back to correct, and it presents as a motor that keeps failing rather than as an installation error.
Restored cottages and retrofitted cable
A great many properties here have been renovated, and the gate was automated after the paving and landscaping were finished. Where the fault turns out to be the motor itself, that is ordinary gate motor repair work rather than anything exotic.
Cable that had nowhere to go ends up shallow or surface-run, and it fails intermittently within a couple of years. An intercom that works in dry weather and fails after rain is nearly always that rather than a failed panel.
Street-facing gates
Gates here open almost directly onto the street, which puts beams exactly where a waiting vehicle sits and makes a gate that fails open a genuine security problem rather than an inconvenience.
Mounting beams higher and further back, where the geometry allows, ends a fault that otherwise repeats.
