Investing in a quality security system for your home is an absolute necessity, especially when you consider the current climate in South Africa with regards to crime. While most South Africans install quality systems, many still seem to look to save money on gate motor prices, often opting for the cheapest option. In this piece we will take a look at why it is so important to invest in a quality gate motor.
What are gate motors?
Automatic gates have become the norm in South African suburbs, with many residents using either swing gates or slide gates. These automated gates all have one thing in common – they work using gate motors. A gate motor is either used to slide a gate along a rail; or to swing a set of gates which are mounted on a wall, using an electronic arm.
Why should I invest in a quality gate motor?
When it comes to gate motors you really get what you pay for; purchasing a cheap motor will inevitably lead to a number of issues down the line. The most common issue with cheaper gate motor prices and inferior products is the number of breakdowns and mechanical failures you will have to deal with. These failures can often put your gate out of commission for extended periods of time, jeopardising the safety of your property. Not to mention the inordinate amounts of money you will invariably spend on repairing the unit when it stops working. Quality motors come with comprehensive warranties and tend to last much longer with fewer reports of breakdowns or mechanical failure. These gates also tend to produce less noise than their cheaper counterparts and often have batteries in place to ensure that your gate continues to work even in the event of a power outage.
Instead of cringing at gate motor prices, you should be investing in a quality product that will play its part in keeping you, your family as well as your property safe from potential intruders.
