Investing in a quality access control system offers numerous advantages for Hermanus homeowners:
Control exactly who can access your property and when. Modern access control systems provide detailed logs of all entry events and can be integrated with CCTV for comprehensive security monitoring. This is especially valuable for holiday homes in Hermanus that may be vacant for extended periods.
Open gates and doors without leaving your vehicle or getting up from your couch. Grant access to service providers remotely, even when you're not home. Modern systems can be operated via smartphone from anywhere in the world, perfect for managing rental properties or holiday homes in Hermanus.
Our access control systems are designed with South Africa's power challenges in mind. We implement reliable battery backup solutions that ensure your gates and access systems continue to function during load shedding, keeping your property secure even during power outages.
For a standard sliding or swing gate, installation typically takes 4-6 hours. This includes mounting the motor, installing safety beams, setting up the control unit, and programming remotes. More complex installations that involve additional wiring, intercom systems, or multiple access points may take 1-2 days. We always aim to complete installations efficiently while ensuring all components are properly installed and tested.
All our gate motor installations include battery backup systems that keep your gate operational during load shedding. Most quality gate motors can operate for 20-40 cycles (open/close) on battery power, depending on the model and battery condition. We also offer enhanced backup solutions for properties that require extended operation during prolonged outages. Additionally, all our systems include manual override features that allow you to operate the gate manually if needed.
Yes, we offer several smartphone control options for gate automation. These range from dedicated gate control apps provided by manufacturers like Centurion and Nice, to integration with smart home systems like Google Home or Amazon Alexa. With these solutions, you can open and close your gate from anywhere with internet access, grant temporary access to visitors or service providers, and receive notifications when your gate is operated. This is particularly useful for holiday homeowners who want to monitor and control access remotely.
Gate motors require regular maintenance to ensure reliable operation, especially in Hermanus's coastal environment. We recommend a service every 12-18 months, which includes checking and lubricating moving parts, testing the battery, inspecting safety features, and cleaning the track for sliding gates. For properties close to the ocean, more frequent maintenance may be needed due to salt exposure. We offer maintenance contracts that include scheduled servicing and priority response for any issues that arise between services.
