Gate Maintenance and Repairs
Gate Maintenance and Repairs in Cape Town: It all starts with Expert Care
Planet Automation offers scheduled maintenance agreements for servicing, inspections, testing and repairs of equipment.
We recommend regular gate maintenance based on usage and site conditions. High-use gates in complexes and estates may require more frequent servicing.
Too often we see very expensive gate repairs happen which could have been avoided if there had been regular maintenance.
For a small monthly fee, have a qualified technician service your automatic gate or garage door on a regular basis dependent on the door/gate size and daily usage.
So why not let Planet Automation take the hassle out of your preventative maintenance by keeping your equipment working in tip-top condition, when you need it, with our Planet Automation Care Program.
As a proud member of the Cape Town community, Planet Automation is committed to providing exceptional service to many areas.
