FAQ
Electric Gate Wiring & Automation Questions
Our core work is the electrical side — running power to the gate, connecting the motor, and wiring intercoms and keypads. We're happy to work alongside your gate supplier or fabricator, and we can recommend proven motor brands for typical residential and rural gates.
Yes — long runs are normal on Kerikeri and Whangarei lifestyle blocks. We calculate the right cable size for the distance, trench and duct the run, and install it to code. For very remote gateways, a solar-powered low-voltage setup can avoid a long cable run altogether.
Yes — many current gate controllers support app control, and we can also wire intercom systems that ring your phone when someone's at the gate. Tell us how you want it to work day-to-day and we'll set up the wiring to suit.
All the gate motors we connect have a manual release so you can open the gate by hand. Battery backup modules are also available for most controllers — worth having on rural properties where outages are more common.
Usually, yes — if the gate and hinges are in good condition, a motor can be retrofitted. We'll wire the power supply and controls; if the gate itself needs strengthening, we'll let you know before any money is spent.
