The Gemini Sectional Garage Door Motor Kit automates a single or double sectional garage door, and it also suits trackless solid tip-up doors. A 24V DC motor drives a maintenance-free chain through a worm gearbox with a bronze gear, and two 12V batteries keep the door working when the power goes off. Gemini motors are made by DMI Engineering in Silvertondale, Pretoria.

What's in the box

  • Gemini garage door motor head
  • Sectional extrusion
  • 2 x 12V 2.4Ah batteries
  • 2 x Gemini 3-button code-hopping remotes

Battery backup for load shedding

The motor runs from its two 12V 2.4Ah batteries, so you can still open the garage when the power is out. Gemini rates it for about 20 openings a day and notes that this depends on the door and the condition of the batteries. Batteries are not covered by the Gemini warranty, so when they get old, swap in replacement 12V batteries.

Will it fit your door?

The standard sectional extrusion is made for a 5-panel door 2.1m high, and the motor and extrusion together are 3030mm long. A 6-panel 2.4m door needs Gemini's longer Sectional Caravan extrusion, so ask the branch before you order. Tip-up doors that use counterweights are not suitable. Gemini also stresses that the door must open easily by hand before a motor is fitted.

Safety and security

Electronic obstruction sensing, set separately for opening and closing, stops the door and reverses it if it meets something while closing. The built-in 433.92 MHz code-hopping receiver stores up to 30 remotes, so you can add Gemini 3-button remotes for the whole family. The LED courtesy light comes on for 3 minutes each time the door runs, and the engaged traveller helps keep the door closed. The motor also has soft start and stop, an LED display, a connection for safety beams (IRB) and is GSM compatible. If the motor can't run, the emergency release cord lets you open the door by hand.

Got roll-up doors instead?

See the Gemini Roll-Up Garage Door Motor Kit (2x Single Doors), which runs two single roll-up doors from one motor.

Questions people ask
What comes in the kit?

The Gemini motor head, a sectional extrusion, two 12V 2.4Ah batteries and two Gemini 3-button code-hopping remotes.

Which doors does the Gemini garage door motor fit?

Single or double sectional doors that slide up and in, and trackless solid tip-up doors whose bottom edge swings outside the garage. It is not suitable for tip-up doors that use counterweights. The door must open easily by hand before a motor is fitted.

What size door is the extrusion for?

A standard 5-panel door 2.1m high. The motor and extrusion together are 3030mm long. A 6-panel 2.4m door needs Gemini's longer Sectional Caravan extrusion, so ask the branch about it.

Does it work during load shedding?

Yes. It runs from its two 12V 2.4Ah batteries, so the door still opens when the power is off. Gemini rates it for about 20 openings a day and says that figure depends on the door and the condition of the batteries.

How many remotes can I add?

The built-in receiver stores up to 30 Gemini code-hopping remotes. Extra Gemini 3-button remotes are sold separately.

How do I open the door if the motor can't run?

Switch off the power and pull the emergency release cord on the traveller. You can then open and close the door by hand. Re-engage the traveller afterwards, because the engaged traveller is what helps keep the door closed.

What power does it need?

A 220V wall socket within a metre of the motor head, on a circuit with an on/off switch. The motor comes with a 3-pin plug fitted, and Gemini warns that cutting the plug off ends the warranty.

What warranty does it have?

Gemini gives 24 months on the mechanical parts and 12 months on the electrical and electronic parts. Batteries are not covered, and Gemini asks you to register the motor at geminigates.co.za/warranty-registration.
