Gate Motors

LHV Garage Doors & Gates have sourced the best motors, at the lowest prices, that offer superior performance, for the longest possible period. Quality in function, durability and performance is key to enjoying a long-lasting, trouble-free, noise-free motor.

Various motors are available on the market, but many have not been tried and tested over a certain period of time, it is for this reason that LHV Garage Doors & Gates only chooses to install automations that have proven themselves and have been available, for many years. It is also essential that the parts are readily and cheaply available for the automations, so that if any damage does occur to the motor, it can be easily repaired for a reasonable amount, as opposed to having to get an entire nee motor because the parts are not available or are simply too expensive to replace.

Clients should also take note, that many of the older motors available in Western Cape have been discontinued, making repairs virtually impossible.

ET Sliding Gate Automations

All sliding gate automations come standard with 2 four-button remotes and 4 meters of nylon rack, on a galvanised steel angle, needed for the motor gear to run up and down the sliding gate.

A heavy-duty security bracket is available to purchase for all the ET sliding gate motors.

LHV recommends installing this due to the increase in gate motor theft over the past few years. As an extra security precaution, LHV Garage Doors & Gates always welds the base plate of the sliding gate motors to the client’s track, making it harder to remove. We also add anti lift brackets onto the client’s gate, to prevent someone from simply lifting the gate off the motor gear.
