Spring replacements, off-track panels, motor faults and full new-door installations for sectional and tilt-up garage doors — same-day call-outs across Sandton, Fourways, Waterfall, Kyalami and Johannesburg's established northern suburbs.
Most garage door call-outs turn out to be one of three things: a mechanical fault in the door itself (a spring, cable or roller), a fault in the automation driving it (motor, board, or remote), or physical damage to the panels or track from an impact or years of wear. We diagnose all three together on the first visit, so a "door problem" caused by a dying motor doesn't get treated as a door replacement, and vice versa.
We work on sectional doors, tilt-up doors, and single or double garage configurations, across timber, steel and aluminium finishes. Most repairs are completed in a single visit because we carry common spring sizes, cables, rollers and hinges for the door brands most used across Johannesburg's estates and established suburbs.
Broken or worn springs replaced with correctly rated units matched to your door's actual weight, plus cable and drum replacement where needed.
Realignment of doors that have jumped their tracks, plus panel and roller replacement for doors that have taken an impact.
Fault-finding on garage door openers, control boards, safety sensors and remotes — separate from the door itself, so nothing gets mis-diagnosed.
Full new-door installation for single and double garages, with finish options to match your home.
Lubrication, hardware tightening and roller replacement to quieten a noisy door and extend its working life.
Testing and repair of the safety sensors that stop a door reversing on an obstruction — important on any home with children or pets.
Timber-look, charcoal aluminium and warm bronze are among the most requested finishes on the estates we work in — talk to us about matching your home's existing palette.
If the door panels, frame and tracks are still straight and undamaged, a repair is almost always cheaper and faster — most call-outs are a spring, cable, roller or motor fix rather than a full door swap. Replacement usually only makes sense when the door is visibly warped, rusted through, or the automation has failed repeatedly despite previous repairs.
This is the classic sign of a broken or weakening torsion or extension spring. The spring carries almost the full weight of the door, so once it fails the motor (and you, if operating it manually) has to lift the door's full weight unassisted. Don't keep forcing it — that strain is what burns out motors.
Yes. We regularly install and repair timber-look sectional doors, painted steel doors and aluminium panel doors, and can source finishes to match or complement your home rather than defaulting to a standard white or grey door.
Yes, most of our garage door call-outs are on doors and motors we did not originally install. We diagnose based on the brand and mechanism in front of us.
