Garage doors and motors for Parkwood's large freestanding homes
Parkwood is about 5 km south-west of Sandton City. Parkwood's large freestanding homes often place the garage behind a boundary gate, with the door forming a second access point to the house. On these established properties, an older tip-up, roll-up or sectional door may have carried years of daily use before the motor begins stopping, reversing or running noisily.
For Parkwood homes, we assess the door and motor together. We release the motor to check the door's balance, then inspect the springs, cables, rollers, hinges and tracks before deciding what needs repair. This avoids replacing a motor that is simply struggling against a heavy or uneven door. We also test the safety reverse and check the backup battery and charger.
The main issue for a Parkwood household is controlling access through a garage that connects to the home. When a property changes hands, we clear the previous owners' remote codes and program only the remotes the new owner chooses. We can also link a garage-door contact to the alarm, so the system can detect when the door has been left open.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our garage doors page.
Questions from Parkwood
Should we replace an old garage door when we move into a Parkwood home?
Not automatically. If the door is sound, we may be able to rebalance it and replace worn parts. We recommend replacement when its condition or weight makes continued repair impractical.
Why does our Parkwood garage door close and then open again?
It may be catching, running unevenly or triggering the motor's safety reverse. We check the door's balance and movement before treating it as a motor fault.
