Roller Shutter Door Motorisation and Automation in Randburg

Motorising a roller shutter door in Randburg is mostly a question about the door, not the motor. A door that is heavy by hand is heavy for a motor, and automating it without correcting the balance first just moves the wear from your shoulders into a gearbox. We assess the door before quoting the automation.

Roller shutter door motorisation in Randburg

We automate existing manual doors and supply new doors motorised from the start. The drive is chosen on door mass, span and how many cycles the opening sees in a day.

• Tube motors inside the barrel, tidy and quiet, for light to medium doors.
• Side-mounted gear motors for heavy industrial curtains and high cycle counts.
• Three-phase drives where the site has the supply and the door has the duty.
• Manual override on every installation, tested before we leave.

Automating an existing manual door

Before anything is fitted we check the barrel, the springs, the guides and the curtain edge. On the older stock through Strijdom Park and the Randburg CBD it is common to find a door that has been dragged open for years and needs re-springing before a motor is worth fitting. That is priced separately and stated plainly.

Access control and how the door gets opened

Randburg sites vary. Retail frontages around Cresta, Northgate and Brightwater usually want key-switch or push-button control inside. Workshop bays in Strijdom Park want a control station where the operator stands and remotes in the vehicles. Warehousing in Kya Sand wants remotes and a bay station. Complexes through Northriding, Sundowner and Boskruin want multi-user remotes and often an intercom interface.

Safety devices on automated doors

An automated door needs a safety edge, and on any opening the public walks through it needs photocells as well. These are not optional extras on our quotes. A powered door that closes on someone without stopping is the failure nobody recovers from.

Power failures and backup

Every automated door we install has a manual release an untrained person can operate under pressure. On sites that cannot afford to be closed by an outage we fit battery backup or a manual chain hoist, depending on the door mass.

Motorising security shutters at home

Residential shutters through Randpark Ridge, Boskruin, Olivedale and Fontainebleau are usually automated for convenience and then relied on for security. We fit motors with a locking position so the curtain cannot be pushed up from outside when the door is closed.

What roller shutter door automation costs in Randburg

The quote separates the motor, the control gear, the safety devices, the electrical work and any door repair needed first, so you can see whether the cost is the automation or the condition of the door.

Booking a motorisation survey

Send the opening size, say whether the door is currently easy or heavy by hand, and how often it will be used. The survey is free and it decides the specification.
