Garage doors for Corlett Gardens' older houses and modern complexes
Corlett Gardens is about 4 km south-east of Sandton City. In Corlett Gardens, the type of garage door we work on changes from one street to the next. Older freestanding homes often have garages that were added later, sometimes with heavy wooden or steel tip-up doors that have been in place for decades. In contrast, the newer sectional title complexes built on subdivided land feature standard sectional doors, where the main concern is the wear and tear from daily use by many residents.
Our approach adapts to the property. For an older, heavy door, we first check its balance with the motor disengaged; a motor should not be lifting weight that the springs are meant to carry. In a sectional title complex, we focus on consistent performance and safety, checking that the safety reverse on every motor is working correctly and that the battery backup is ready for power cuts.
For homeowners, the garage is often a direct entry into the house, so security is key. When we service a door, we clear all old remote codes so only you control who has access. For bodies corporate in Corlett Gardens' complexes, we can quote to service or upgrade multiple units at once, making sure a uniform look and securely managing remote programming for all residents.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our garage doors page.
Questions from Corlett Gardens
My old wooden garage door is noisy and slow. Does the whole thing need replacing?
Not always. If the wood is still in good condition, the problem is often worn rollers or springs that have lost tension. We can service the mechanical parts and check if the motor is still suitable for the door's weight, which often solves the problem without a full replacement.
We are trustees of a complex. Can you program new remotes to work on the main gate and our individual garage doors?
Yes. We can supply remotes that operate both your garage door motor and most gate motors. We make sure each resident's remote only opens their own garage, and we clear any lost or old remotes from the system's memory for security.
