Garage Doors SA

Garage door automation, motor repairs and installations

About Garage Doors SA

Garage Doors SA covers the automation side of garage doors as much as the doors themselves — motor supply, motor repair and replacement, and the retrofit of automation to doors that were installed as manual.

Retrofitting is worth understanding before committing to it. A motor does not fix a heavy or badly balanced door; it hides the problem until the motor burns out under the load. The correct sequence is to balance the door and replace fatigued springs first, then automate, at which point the motor is doing the job it was rated for rather than compensating for a mechanical fault.

The operation runs from Robertville in Roodepoort with a 24/7 emergency service, covering the West Rand through Florida and Krugersdorp, the northern suburbs, and out to Pretoria, Midrand and the East Rand.

Frequently asked questions

Can any manual garage door be automated?

Most can, but the door should be balanced and its springs sound first. Adding a motor to a heavy or badly balanced door just transfers the strain to the motor, which then fails early.

What size motor does a door need?

It depends on the door's weight and width, not its appearance. A motor rated too small will work at first and burn out; that is the most common cause of a motor failing within a year.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, 24 hours a day — mainly for doors stuck open, which leaves a house or premises unsecured.
