Probably will be until at least late January 2017, as I haven’t found a new place yet. Try my mobile if you need advice or there is any warranty issue with recent equipment, I’ll be available for special circumstances if I can be.

Sometimes remotes match the gate brand, sometimes they match the garage door brand and sometimes the alarm system. You can txt me a pic and I’ll try and ID it for you, sometimes I’m the right person to help you source it and sometimes I am not but I may be able to point you in the right direction.
If you have a remote which does everything (alarm, gate and garage door) you could lose it or have it stolen, which creates a security problem. I feel it’s best to not have the alarm on the same remote.

I can sometimes schedule times if absolutely necessary, so ask me about that if required.

I don’t do wireless intercoms at this point, but I can point you to people who do if this is required because of difficulty with installation, damaged wires etc Wired is preferable in my opinion. When you get a wired intercom, the money goes mainly into the installation, which is normally a reliable long term investment compared with wireless intercoms which if (or when) they fail, can really only be economically replaced as a whole system, the product life isn’t long on intercoms, and systems rarely have interchangeable parts. On the other hand, wired intercoms sometimes have relatively inexpensive components which can be replaced when they fail and the maininvestment (wiring) is intact.

I may have lost a couple of job cards after the accident, everything got a bit scrambled, sorry about that.Just phone or txt to remind me if your job seems unusually delayed please.

Good that i can get a van from my panelbeaters (Ballentynes, Corban Ave Henderson) who also do a great job.
