About us

Gate Automation Shop In Al Khuwair, with engineers who fit what it sells

Falaj Tech supplies and installs gate automation and access control in Oman. Sliding gate motors, swing gate motors, garage door openers, parking barriers, rolling shutter motors, remotes and readers. We hold the stock, we specify it, we fit it and we service it afterwards.

We are a shop, not an office

Almost every gate automation company in Oman is an office. You call, somebody visits, a price arrives by email, and the equipment comes from somewhere you never see.

We have a counter. You can walk into Shop No 176 in Al Khuwair with a broken photocell in your hand, and somebody who has fitted a hundred of them will look at it. The stock is on the shelf behind us, which is why most repairs are one visit rather than a wait on an order from Italy.

That is not nostalgia for a shopfront. It is the reason we can answer a question in a minute that would otherwise take three emails and a week.

How we work

Six positions, all of which cost us money in the short term and win us customers in the long one.

  1. 01

    We publish our prices

    Sliding gate installation from OMR 180. Swing from OMR 250. Barriers from OMR 400. Repair labour from OMR 10. No competitor in Oman publishes any of that, and the reason they do not is that vague pricing lets a figure move to fit the customer. Ours does not move.

  2. 02

    We specify from the gate, not the budget

    The operator is chosen from the leaf weight, the opening width and how many times a day it will cycle. If the right answer costs more than you hoped, we say so. If a cheaper unit genuinely suits your gate, we say that too, and we have talked plenty of people down from a motor they did not need.

  3. 03

    We size for Oman, not for Europe

    A control board in a sealed casing in direct sun at 48 degrees is not the machine the manufacturer tested in Italy, and blown sand in a track loads a motor in a way no European installer has to think about. We specify with real headroom over the gate weight as standard, never as an upgrade, because that headroom is what stops the board cooking in its third summer.

  4. 04

    Our own engineers, never a subcontractor

    The people who survey your gate are the people who fit it and the people who come back if something needs attention. Nothing is passed to a third party, so nothing gets lost between companies.

  5. 05

    We say no

    We will not fit a stronger motor to a worn gate to mask the real problem, because it hides the fault for a few months and then destroys the new motor as well. We will tell you when a ten year old operator is not worth repairing, even though the repair is the sale in front of us. And we will tell you when a fault is a flat remote battery rather than send an engineer out to discover it.

  6. 06

    One company from the quotation to the warranty

    Because we supply and we fit, there is no argument about whether a fault is the product or the installation. It is ours either way. That is the whole reason both halves of the business exist under one name.

What we do not do

Worth stating plainly, because a company that claims everything is usually good at nothing.

  • CCTV and surveillance
  • Home automation and smart home systems
  • Networking and IT
  • Alarms and general security
  • Civil and building contracting

There are good companies in Muscat doing all of those and we are happy to say so. We do gates and the access control that opens them. Nothing else has ever been added to the list, and that is deliberate.

What we carry

Genuine stock through proper channels, with the manufacturer warranty intact. We also repair brands we do not sell, because a broken gate is a broken gate.

Where we work

Muscat is home and most of our work is here. We deliver to all eleven governorates and we install anywhere in the country, with travel agreed in the quotation rather than added afterwards.
