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 add spare remotes for the family to the same order. If a remote is later lost, that unit can be locked out of the receiver permanently — our WhatsApp support handles it with you after delivery.
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?
No — a lost remote can be locked out of the receiver permanently, so it can never drive the gate again. Message us on WhatsApp and our technical support handles it with you.
Do you install in Cairo?
We are supply-only — kits ship with the manufacturer documentation for your electrician, and our WhatsApp technical support stays with you until the gate runs.
