The details we need
What needs repairing?
Gate motor repairs
Motor beeping, running and stopping halfway, or a remote that has stopped working? Lockfront teams have repaired gate motors all across Gauteng and are able to deal with PC boards, batteries, chargers, safety beams, worn gears or any other component that needs repairing.
Gate repairs
Wheels, tracks, guide rollers and hinges, and gates that have come off their rail. Sliding and swing gates repaired and realigned so they run properly again.
Garage door motor repairs
Boards, gears, remotes and motors that no longer respond. Centurion, DC Blue, Digidoor and Gemini repaired, or replaced when a repair will not last.
Boom gate repairs and servicing
Broken boom or boom poles, failed motors or control boards, and loop detectors that miss cars. Scheduled servicing keeps a busy entrance moving at peak hour.
Access control repairs
Keypads that will not accept codes, dead tag readers, controllers lost to lightning and maglocks that will not hold. Complex-wide remote reprogramming too.
Intercom repairs
Handsets, panels, wiring and video units. Audio, video and GSM systems repaired, and replaced where the parts are no longer made.
CCTV repairs
Cameras that have stopped recording, failed hard drives, lost phone access and damaged cabling. Servicing keeps the footage usable for when you need it.
Electric fence repairs
Energisers, broken strands, earth faults and alarms that will not reset. Regular servicing, and the compliance certificate for when you need them.
Servicing saves repairs
Servicing a gate or garage door is like servicing a car: it prolongs its life, ensures it always works as designed and heads off inconvenient, expensive breakdowns. Manufacturers recommend a service at least once a year at home, and every three to six months on busy commercial systems. A service covers:
- Alignment, tensioning and service on wheels, rollers, tracks and gears
- Motor, battery and power supply
- Control boards, and sealing against insects
- Safety beams, remotes and keypads
For complexes and businesses
We look after complexes, estates and commercial sites on a schedule, so gates, booms and roller shutters are serviced before they fail. See the complexes and estates section of our website for more information.
