Gate Motor Installation Costs
The price to install a gate motor can vary depending on many factors. A quick replacement installation can take 2 hours, a complex new gate motor installation can take 6 hours or longer.Â
Installations are charged per hour excluding spare parts. We have agents across South Africa, depending on where you are located the hourly rate will vary slightly.
Rates vary from R500 – R800 per hour.Â
On average, gate motor installation costs range from R2500 to R5000. However, installation fees can be higher for high-end models or for installations that require additional features such as intercom systems or remote access.
You might find a cheaper installer but you will not find a more reliable and experienced installer. We have teams on the road and help over 850 homeowners every year.Â
Our promise is not to be the cheapest but the best value for money, a cheaper installer might be lower cost per hour but take longer to complete the job. Worse yet an inexperienced gate motor technician could end up costing you money in repairs down the road.Â
