REPAIRS & COMPONENTS
Repair the fault. Check the whole door.
From the lifting system to the opener, we consider the mechanical and electrical parts that work together.
Lifting cables & drums
The correct cable and drum arrangement depends on the door type and available mounting space. Measurements and existing support conditions should be recorded before installation work begins.
Cable repairsDoor panels & hardware
Panel profile, material, clearance and finish all affect the installation. Compare steel, wooden and roll-up options using the actual opening rather than a general catalogue description.
Panel optionsGarage door motor repairs
Motor selection follows the door design. Check drive type, headroom, backup requirements and safety accessories before choosing an opener based solely on quoted power.
Motor optionsGarage door remote programming
If reusing existing remotes is important, confirm receiver and transmitter compatibility in advance. A new automation system may require new controls or programming.
Remote controls & receiversBearings, pulleys, locks & handles
Headroom, side room, support surfaces and guide alignment are part of the installation scope. Door hardware should be specified for the measured opening and operating system.

PRACTICAL GUIDE / RASLOUW
Planning a new door or an automation upgrade
Use this area-specific guide to identify the likely issue, explain the symptoms and discuss a practical next step.
Assess the opening before choosing the door
Opening width and height are only part of the specification. Headroom, side space, roof arrangement and obstructions can affect the track and operator layout. If you are changing clearance or door configuration, arrange an assessment rather than ordering around the dimensions of the old panels alone.
Choose a door around use and care requirements
Steel sectional, wooden, aluminium and roll-up options have different construction and maintenance considerations. Discuss appearance alongside operation, suitable hardware and ongoing care. A quotation should identify the proposed door and installation scope so comparisons are based on equivalent work.
Match automation to the installed door
The operator needs to suit the door type, dimensions, weight and use within the equipment specifications. Discuss backup requirements, compatible remotes and safety equipment at the same time. Existing controls may not work with a new receiver, so keep remote compatibility separate from the assumption that the old motor can simply be swapped.
Check what removal, fitting and handover include
Confirm whether the quotation includes removal of the old equipment, tracks, lifting hardware, operator and related adjustments. After installation, ask for an explanation of normal operation, manual release and care requirements. Retain the equipment details and applicable guarantee information with the invoice.
For a Raslouw enquiry, provide the door type, operator model and details of the issue. Photos can help the initial discussion; an inspection confirms the repair.
DOORS / RESTORATION / INSTALLATIONS
Options for your existing door or a new installation.
Explore repairs and installations for wooden, steel sectional, roll-up and selected custom garage doors. Compatibility, measurements and site conditions guide the recommendation.
Single & double wooden garage doors
Wooden garage door repairs and installations may involve panels, joints, hinges, pulleys, lifting cables and suitable refinishing. The door still needs sound support and correct balance after work. For a new wooden door, choose the opening style and finish with an understanding of weight, headroom and future care requirements.
Explore your optionsSingle & double steel sectional doors
Steel, Aluzinc and Chromadek garage doors can require compatible panels, rollers, hinges, tracks, springs or cables. The correct replacement depends on the existing profile and mechanism. Steel sectional installations need correct track geometry, panel clearance, support fixing and spring selection; the quoted door size alone is insufficient.
Explore your optionsRoll-up repairs, wheels & mat replacement
Roll-up garage doors use a curtain, guides, lifting supports and suitable automation. Damage to the curtain may require a different repair approach from a motor or guide fault. A roll-up installation needs side guides, enough room for the roll and the appropriate operator or manual arrangement.
Explore your optionsAluminium, caravan-height & custom openings
Aluminium doors, caravan-height openings and custom-size garage doors require measurements and an assessment of the opening, fixings, clearances and proposed automation. For tall or custom-size openings, record the opening measurements and structure before deciding which material, guide and automation are practical.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions about your garage door?
Tell us what has changed, your location and the equipment fitted. We will discuss the next step and current availability.
Can you automate my existing manual door?
The mechanism, condition, balance and mounting clearances need assessment first. Send photos and describe the door type so suitable options can be discussed.
Does a wider door automatically need a particular motor model?
No. Selection depends on the actual door and manufacturer specifications, including its mechanism, dimensions, weight and usage. Width alone is not a complete specification.
What affects the quotation?
Door type, fault, component sizes, condition and the work required affect the price. Ask whether labour, parts and any call-out charge are included. Photos assist the initial discussion; an inspection may be needed before a firm quotation.
How do I enquire about urgent garage door repairs?
Call 060 805 0926 with your suburb and say if this is an emergency garage door repair enquiry. Explain whether the door is stuck open, closed or hanging unevenly. We will discuss current availability and the next step. Keep people clear and do not force the door or adjust tensioned components.
What should I ask a garage door company before approving repairs?
Ask what caused the fault, which parts will be replaced and which will remain. Confirm the quoted labour, materials and any call-out charge before work proceeds. Discuss relevant balance, travel and safety checks after the repair, and retain the equipment details, invoice and applicable guarantee information.
