Can my gate motor keep working during load-shedding?

Yes. We supply and fit battery backup systems sized for your motor, so your gate and garage keep working through outages. We can also test your existing battery — most gate batteries need replacing every 2 to 3 years.

Which areas do you cover?

Somerset West, Strand, Gordon's Bay and the greater Helderberg basin — and we often work further afield on request.

Gate stuck? Garage door dead? One call and it's moving again.

Lovell's Automation repairs, services and installs gate motors, garage doors, intercoms and electric locks across the Helderberg — built on 30+ years in the security trade in Somerset West.
