Advisory

It is extremely difficult to completely safeguard one’s gate motor against theft and vandalism...

Although it is extremely difficult to completely safeguard one’s gate motor against theft and vandalism, there are quite a few different theft-resistant cages on the market, all offering varying degrees of security.
 

To ensure the safety of your gate and motor take the following into consideration.

GATE VULNERABILITIES

* Mounting bolts need to be welded to prevent the casing from being undone and the motor stolen.
* One should not be able to lift the gate off the rails. An anti-lift bracket should be fitted to prevent this as it provides access into your property.
* A locking bracket/anti-theft cage needs to be added over the gate motor to prevent it from being stolen.
* The clutch needs to be locked via means of a padlock.
