Common Issues We Fix
• Gate motors getting stuck, opening or closing slowly or even just being unresponsive
• Garage doors getting jammed or misaligned in many shared driveways or even from older, poorly maintained installations
• CCTV cameras going offline, getting blurry, or simply just not recording
• Access control units, at entrances and exits, not recognizing tags, codes or biometrics
• Intercom systems with poor sound and video
• Connectivity issues between devices
• Damage from power surges, load shedding or even just environmental wear and tear
Preventative Maintenance
One of the biggest mistakes we see very often is homeowners only calling when something breaks. The truth is: a simple service every 6–12 months can extend the lifespan of your automation systems dramatically.
Maintenance includes:
Lubrication & alignment
Checking springs, rollers and cables
Inspecting wiring and isolation
Testing safety features
Firmware updates
Cleaning motor housings and weather seals
Checking surge protection and load-shedding resilience
Most breakdowns we repair could have been prevented and maintenance is always cheaper than emergency repairs.

Planet Automation installed a new garage motor for me in April. Their quote was competitive and their service great. Most importantly, their after sales service is also fantastic as when I reported a funny sound when opening my garage recently, they did not hesitate to come out to investigate and adjust.Posted on Google![]()
