Had a DEA motor die on a Saturday. Christian talked me through the fault over the phone, I picked up a replacement from him, and fitted it myself that afternoon. Straight answers, fair price.

Our gate motor kept faulting and two other companies couldn't figure it out. Active Gates found the issue within an hour and had it running smoothly again. Great technical know-how.

Samantha Reed
Property Manager, Melbourne
I needed a NICE HOME motor installed on a new driveway. The job was booked quickly, done properly, and the whole setup was explained to us before the installer left. No loose ends.
