New equipment we supply and install, like a gate or garage door motor, comes with a 1-year on-site warranty, which doesn't cover the motor's batteries. Repairs, replacement parts, maintenance, COC and welding work carry a 3-month on-site warranty.

Gate motors: Centurion. Garage door motors: Centurion, Digidoor and DC Blue. We're Centurion and Digidoor certified.
Most often it's the battery. Gate motor batteries usually last about 2–3 years, and less in direct sun or with frequent power cuts. We can test it and replace it if needed. See gate motor repairs.
Use the manual release on the motor: usually a key for a gate motor and a pull cord for a garage door motor. If you're not sure where yours is, WhatsApp us and we'll show you.
Usually, yes. When a property with an electric fence is sold, the transfer needs an electric fence compliance certificate (COC). We inspect the fence, fix anything needed for it to pass and do the COC. See electric fence COC.
Yes. We supply new remotes and code them to your gate or garage door motor.
Both. We fix sticking, jerking or noisy doors, broken springs and cables, pulleys, weather seals, motors and remotes. See garage door repairs.
