Single Leaf Swing Gate Motor Installation in Chennai

Automate the gate you already have

Many independent houses, villas and small offices in Chennai have a single swing gate — one leaf hinged on a pillar, opening into the compound. A swing gate motor opens and closes it at the press of a remote, so you no longer need to step out in the rain or leave the car on the road while someone opens the gate. RS Technologies installs single leaf swing gate motors across Chennai, most often on existing gates.

Which type of swing gate motor

The right type depends on the pillar size, the gate’s weight and width, how far it must open and how much space there is behind the gate when it is open.

• Linear (arm) motors — mounted between the pillar and the gate; the most common choice for homes
• Articulated arm motors — for thick pillars, where a linear motor cannot be fitted at the right angle
• Underground motors — hidden below the gate hinge, for a clean look; need good drainage, which matters in the Chennai monsoon

What we check before recommending a motor

• Gate weight and leaf width — the motor must be rated for both, with a safety margin
• Hinges and pillar — worn hinges or a weak pillar must be fixed first, or the motor will fail early
• Wind load — a solid sheet gate catches wind and needs a stronger motor than an open grill gate
• Opening direction and space — inward-opening gates are simpler; outward opening needs space outside
• How often the gate opens each day

What a complete installation includes

• Swing gate motor and control unit, matched to your gate
• Remote controls for each family member
• Safety photocells that stop or reverse the gate if a person, pet or car is in its path
• Flashing warning light while the gate moves
• Battery backup, so the gate still works in a power cut
• Manual release key to open the gate by hand when needed
• Optional: electric lock, keypad, RFID or mobile-app opening, and connection to your video door phone

Installation, service and repair

After the free site survey you receive a written quote listing the motor, accessories and any gate repairs needed. On installation day we fit and align the motor, set the open and close limits and speed, test the safety sensors with you and show everyone how to use the manual release. We also service and repair swing gate motors of all brands, and recommend a pre-monsoon check, because water ingress is the most common cause of breakdowns.
