Your gate is light; a 500–800 kg motor runs it comfortably without strain or extra cost.
Your gate is medium; an 800–1000 kg motor covers it steadily. Exact pick confirmed with size and usage.
Your gate is medium-heavy; a 1600 kg motor is the ideal balance — enough power without overpaying.
Your gate is heavy; it needs a 2000 kg motor for stable, safe movement. For intensive use, ask for the heavy-duty version.
Your gate is very heavy; it needs a 2000 kg heavy-duty motor or higher based on actual weight. Our sales team confirms the best fit.
No problem if you are unsure of the weight — from the width, height and usage you selected, our sales team calculates the correct power precisely.
Self-locking drive — why a closed motorized gate resists forcing
The worm gear that moves the leaf cannot be back-driven from the gate side: push the closed leaf and the gearing holds it like a lock, with no padlock involved. For Cairo villas and company entrances on busy streets, this mechanical self-locking makes the sliding gate the strongest point of the perimeter — and it is a property of the drive itself, present in every class from 800 to 4000 kg.
Rolling-code remotes — cloning and replay both fail
Modern receivers change the expected signal on every press following a synchronised algorithm. A kiosk clone reproduces yesterday’s code — useless; a thief’s recorder replays a burnt code — equally useless. When ordering, confirm the kit ships with a rolling-code receiver (all our sliding kits do), and pair spare remotes for the family at the learn button in under a minute. Lost remote? Erase and re-pair, and the lost unit is locked out permanently.
Photocells, flashing lamp and obstacle detection — the safety layer
Photocells across the opening reverse the leaf the instant a car, person or pet crosses the beam. A flashing lamp above the pillar warns during movement. Obstacle detection in the control board cuts force when the leaf meets resistance. All three wire into the same board terminals — one system, one remote, one logic. State which you want when ordering so the board ships configured; photocells are strongly recommended wherever children or vehicles cross the gate line.
What to specify when ordering in Cairo
Five lines make the order security-complete: gate weight and length, usage intensity (220V or 24V with battery backup), rolling-code receiver confirmed, photocells and lamp included, and the number of remotes. Send them with gate photos on WhatsApp 01098470908 — the configured quote returns the same day, cash on delivery, delivery within hours same-day in Cairo and Giza and 3-5 working days to all governorates.

FAQ
Can a closed motorized sliding gate be pushed open?
No — the worm-gear drive self-locks; the leaf cannot back-drive the gearing. That mechanical lock is the core security benefit.
Are cloned remotes a real risk?
Not on rolling-code systems — the signal changes every press, so clones and recordings both fail. Confirm rolling code when ordering; all our kits ship with it.
What happens if a car stops in the gateway?
Photocells reverse the leaf instantly, and board-level obstacle detection cuts force on contact — specify both and the gate never traps anything.
Does a power cut leave me locked out?
A manual release key disengages the drive so the leaf moves by hand — and 24V systems add battery backup that keeps the gate running through the cut.
I lost a remote — is the property exposed?
Erase the receiver memory and re-pair the remaining remotes; the lost unit becomes permanently useless. We guide the procedure on WhatsApp.
Do you install in Cairo?
We are supply-only — kits ship with wiring guides for your electrician, and our WhatsApp technical support stays with you until the gate runs.
