Garage doors and motors for Fourways townhouses and estate homes
Fourways is about 13 km north-west of Sandton City. In Fourways most garages belong to townhouses and estate homes built in the same years, often a double garage opening straight on to a shared driveway, with a sectional door and a motor fitted when the complex was new. After years of daily use the rollers and hinges wear, the springs lose tension, and the door starts to run noisily or stop and reverse, which owners usually blame on the motor.
We assess the door and the motor together: we check the door's balance with the motor released, the springs, cables, rollers and tracks, and the safety reverse, then decide whether the motor needs repair or replacement. A properly balanced door puts far less strain on the motor and its battery. Tyson is a Centurion Trained SMART Installer, and proof is available on request.
In a complex the conduct rules often set how the garage doors look, so check with the trustees before changing the colour or the style. Where several units need new motors, trustees can ask us to quote the scheme at once, and we program the remotes so each household opens only its own door.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our garage doors page.
Questions from Fourways
Our garage door opens halfway and reverses. Is the motor dying?
Usually not. A door that reverses is often out of balance or catching on a roller, and the motor's safety reverse is doing its job. We find the mechanical cause first.
Can we still get the car out in a power cut?
Yes, while the motor's backup battery has charge, and every motor has a manual release we show you how to use. We check the battery and charger on every service.
If something on your garage door and motor setup in Fourways is not working as it should, the quickest fix starts with a call. We will ask a few questions, book a visit and quote in writing before any work starts.
