Garage door service for Lombardy East's established, treed properties
Lombardy East is about 7 km east of Sandton City. Lombardy East's mix of older freestanding homes and sectional title complexes means we encounter a wide range of garage door installations. On the suburb's established, larger stands, mature gardens and trees have often grown up around the garage over many years. This can lead to subtle problems like tracks being pushed out of alignment by root growth or safety beams being blocked by foliage, which are common causes of a door failing.
Because of this variety, our first step in Lombardy East is always a full assessment of the door and motor together. For the area's older, heavier doors, we start by checking the spring tension and balance with the motor disengaged. On properties with dense gardens, we carefully check the alignment of safety beams and tracks to make sure they are clear of any interference. A well-balanced door running on clear tracks is safer and puts far less strain on the motor.
For homeowners in Lombardy East, especially those who have recently bought a property, the security of the garage is important as it often leads directly into the house. The most important first step is to make sure old garage door remotes can no longer open your door. We clear the motor's memory of all previous codes and program only the remotes you and your family will use, securing this common point of entry.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our garage doors page.
Questions from Lombardy East
We've just bought an older house in Lombardy East. Should we replace the garage motor?
Not necessarily, but we strongly recommend clearing its memory. We can wipe all previous remote codes so only your new remotes will work. We will also check the motor's service history and overall condition to see if it's right for the door it's operating.
Our garage door sensor keeps triggering, especially when it's windy. Is it faulty?
Often, leaves or small branches from Lombardy East's mature gardens can blow in front of the safety sensor and cause this. We check the sensor alignment and clear any obstructions to make sure it works reliably.
