Servicing garage doors on Saxonwold's stately, established properties
Saxonwold is about 6 km south of Sandton City. On Saxonwold's large, established properties, the garage is often an integral part of the main house, set back from roads like Erlswold Way or Upper Park Drive. High walls and mature trees can obscure the view from the street, making the garage door a important security barrier. An older, poorly maintained door or motor can become a quiet access point into the home itself.
Many of these homes feature heavy, custom timber or steel doors that match the property's style. We find these doors are often poorly balanced, putting immense strain on the motor. Our first step is always to release the motor and check the door's mechanical condition, paying close attention to the high-tension springs and cables. Only once the door runs smoothly by hand do we assess the motor and its suitability for the door's weight.
For new homeowners in Saxonwold, securing the garage is a priority. We clear all previous owners' and their staff's remotes from the motor's memory, giving you complete control from day one. Because the garage often provides direct access to the house, we can also fit a sensor to the door that links to your alarm system. This ensures the garage is monitored as part of your home's main security perimeter.

Questions from Saxonwold
My large wooden garage door is very old. Does it need to be replaced?
Not always. If the wood is still in good condition and not warped, we can often service and rebalance it. By making sure the springs carry the weight correctly, we can fit a suitable modern motor that will operate it reliably.
We have several family and staff members who need access. How do we manage remotes securely?
We can program as many remotes as you need. When a staff member leaves, we can wipe all existing codes from the motor, then reprogram only the remotes you still have. This ensures lost or unreturned remotes will no longer work.
