What garage door work costs

How the call-out works

1. Send the symptoms and model. Photos help plan the visit. Diagnosis and the agreed repair scope determine the final price.
2. We confirm an appointment. Tell us if access is blocked or the property cannot be secured. Availability, access and parts determine the timing.
3. We diagnose and quote a fixed price. Repair or replace, with any call-out credit confirmed in the quote.
4. We fix it, and it's guaranteed. Repairs carry a 6-month workmanship guarantee, and parts carry the supplier's own warranty. If the same fault comes back, so do we.

What we fix on garage doors

• Garage door motors: repair where a repair will last, like-for-like replacement where it won't, so your remotes keep working. The fault we see most is the battery that no longer holds after a stretch of load-shedding cycles, followed by PC boards taken out by a surge.
• Sectional and tilt-up doors: panels, rollers and tracks, including doors that have jumped their tracks. The door sticks, grinds or stops dead part-way. Off-track doors usually start as worn rollers, so both get checked in the same diagnosis.
• Springs and cables: replacement sized to the door. A tired spring is easy to spot before you call anyone. The door feels heavy by hand, bangs or slams at the same spot, or a broken spring shows a clear gap between its coils. Torsion springs hold serious tension, so we release and re-tension them properly rather than let anyone get hurt.
• Cables: frayed and snapped lifting cables replaced on the same visit, sized to the door.
• Remotes that have stopped working: reprogrammed on site, or replaced and programmed while we are there. See gate remotes for the same work on driveway gates.

We repair and automate doors from Randburg across to Midrand (Sandton, Fourways, Bryanston and the suburbs between), and most garage motors we see there are Digi-Door and Pro-Alpha 2000 class kits on sectional and tip-up doors, with roll-up motors on older units. When a storm or a surge is what took the door out, it often took other access with it: gate motor repairs and electric fence repairs run on the same crew and usually the same visit.

One thing we don't do: we don't supply new garage doors. If the door itself is past a repair (crashed panels, sections rusted through), we say so on the day, and we fit and set up the motor on your new door once it is in.

One tip before you call anyone

Keep clear of a door that is crooked, hanging on one cable or has a damaged spring. Stop operating it and arrange an inspection. A technician should assess balance, tracks, cables and motor together. Do not release a door that could fall.

What you have when we leave

• The door run through several open/close cycles by hand and on the motor, before we pack up.
• Motor force and limit settings set so the door stops and reverses on contact, and your remotes tested from where you actually park.
• A fixed price agreed before work, any call-out credit recorded, and the repair covered by our 6-month workmanship guarantee.
