What we do for Adelaide homes and businesses

Garage door repairs

Doors that stick, shudder or won't open

Many homes in inner Adelaide still have the original sectional, roller or tilt door, so worn springs, stretched cables, flat rollers and doors that have come off their track are everyday call-outs for us. We find the actual cause rather than adjusting the door and hoping, quote the work before we start, and carry the common parts so most repairs are finished in one visit.

  • Snapped torsion or extension springs and broken cables
  • Doors off track, bent panels, worn rollers and hinges
  • Openers that run but won't lift, or stop halfway
  • Noisy, stiff or grinding doors that need adjustment

Roller door repairs

Roller doors and shutters back on track

Roller doors have a few failure points of their own. A curtain that has jumped the guide, bent guides, worn drum bearings, a lock that no longer engages, or a motor that lifts the door but won't bring it down are all repairable. We replace the worn components, re-set the curtain and service the running gear so the door travels smoothly and quietly again.

  • Curtains that have come out of the guides or jam
  • Guides, brackets, locks and bottom rails
  • Springs, drums, bearings and roller wheels
  • Manual roller doors converted to automatic
Motors & Merlin

Garage door motor replacement and Merlin motor installation

When a motor fails, is noisy, or has become slow and unreliable, replacing the opener is often the difference between a chore and a door you don't think about. We supply and install Merlin openers for sectional and roller doors, fit the new motor to your existing door and tracks, and set up the remotes, keypad and safety testing before we leave.

  • Merlin motor installation on new and existing doors
  • Garage door motor replacement when repairs are no longer worthwhile
  • Belt, chain and quiet-drive openers for homes close to living areas
  • Remote controls and wireless keypads coded on site
  • Safety beam and auto-reverse checks after every install

Doors that are serviced once a year are safer, quieter and last longer. On a service call-out we lubricate the moving parts, check the balance of the door, inspect springs, cables and rollers for wear, and test the opener's safety reverse — so small faults are picked up before they turn into a door stuck open.
