Eikenhof property: stolen gate motor replaced, this time in a locked steel box

The gate motor at an Eikenhof property was stolen. We replaced it with a Centurion D6 Smart, then made it much harder to take again: an anti-tamper bracket, a heavy-duty steel box with a lock, and a sound bomb.

Where: Eikenhof · Site: Smallholding · Done: Jul 2025

The gate motor was stolen, and the owner didn't want it to happen twice

Gate motors are a target on open properties. The replacement had to be harder to remove, and loud if anyone tried.

We fitted a new motor, locked it in, and gave it a voice

  • Installed a Centurion D6 Smart with a base plate and two batteries.
  • Fitted the D6 Smart anti-tamper bracket.
  • Made and fitted a heavy-duty steel enclosure with its own base and lock.
  • Installed a Centurion G-Switch, so the gate opens from a phone and sends a gate alarm.
  • Fitted a Centurion sound bomb, a loud siren that goes off if the motor is tampered with.

What we installed

  • Centurion D6 Smart gate motor, 2 batteries
  • D6 Smart anti-tamper bracket
  • Heavy-duty lockable steel enclosure
  • Centurion G-Switch
  • Centurion sound bomb

A new motor that is bolted in, boxed in and loud

The gate runs again, opens from a phone, and anyone attacking the motor sets off the sound bomb.
