THE MATERIAL / THE MECHANISM
Steel that suits the property.
Details that suit everyday life.
01 / THE DOOR
Panel profile, coating and correct installation all influence how a door looks and performs.
A single steel sectional garage door opens in connected panels, guided along tracks into the space above the garage. The result is a neat entrance with a selection of panel designs and colour finishes.
Chromadek is a branded pre-painted galvanised steel product, while Aluzinc describes steel protected with an aluminium-zinc coating. These terms are not interchangeable. Ask which sheet material, protective coating, panel thickness and colour finish are specified for the actual door.

YOUR DOOR / YOUR OPENING
The right door starts with the right measurements.
SIZE / CLEARANCE / EVERYDAY USE
Get the fit right.
Before choosing the finish.
A commonly quoted reference for a single garage-door opening is approximately 2,500 mm wide × 2,170 mm high. This is a planning guide, not a guaranteed standard size; the finished opening and installation clearances determine what will fit.
Opening width & height
Measure the finished opening and note any uneven brickwork, frames or obstructions.
Headroom & side room
Sectional doors also need space for tracks, springs and the open door above the opening.
Manual or automated
Tell us about your preferred motor, existing power supply and expected daily usage.
A final site measure and product specification should be confirmed before manufacture or installation.
BEHIND THE FINISHTrack, frame, spring and balance matter just as much as the panel.
NEW DOORS / REPLACEMENTS
From an opening
to a finished entrance.
From opening measurements to the choice of finish and mechanism, the best result comes from specifying the complete installation—not just the visible panels.
Start with your opening
Confirm dimensions, headroom, side clearances, wall condition and whether the old door needs removal.
Choose the panel & finish
Select a profile, discuss suitable coated-steel finishes and check the final product specification and availability.
Fit & balance the door
Door tracks, springs, cables and hardware should be fitted and checked as a working system.
Complete the operation
Where requested, select a compatible opener and review appropriate safety, access and backup features.
Before accepting a quotation
Request a clear quote Confirm the door size and panel specification, selected finish, removal of the existing door (if required), fitting and balancing, weather seals, and whether a motor and safety accessories are included or priced separately.
A GOOD REPAIR BEGINS WITH THE CORRECT DIAGNOSIS
REPAIR / SERVICE / AUTOMATION
Keeping a steel door
working as it should.
A heavy, uneven or noisy steel garage door can have an issue with springs, cables, rollers, tracks, hinges or the opener. The visible panel is only one part of the mechanism, so diagnosis should come before choosing repair or replacement.

AUTOMATION / CONVENIENCE
Make your everyday
arrival simpler.
A single steel sectional door can often be automated when its hinges, tracks, spring balance and travel are sound. The right opener depends on door size, balance, use frequency, mounting space and required safety features—not just the motor brand.

OPENER & AUTOMATION SYSTEMQUESTIONS / ANSWERED
A little clarity
before you enquire.
These are the most useful starting points when comparing single steel garage doors.
Ask our team ↗What is the usual size of a single steel garage door?+
About 2,500 mm wide by 2,170 mm high is an example mentioned in the site's older product information. Actual door and opening sizes vary. Provide measurements and arrange confirmation of the finished opening and necessary clearances.
Which panel profiles and colours can I choose from?+
Shown examples include horizontal, broad horizontal, brick, 10-panel, 20-panel and Tuscan patterns in brown, charcoal, white and woodlook. These are reference styles, not a stock promise: confirm your chosen door’s panel construction, coating and available finishes before ordering.
Can my existing steel door be automated?+
Often, yes, provided its hardware, balance and installation are suitable. The technician should first check the door and then advise on a compatible motor and any required accessories.
Can a damaged steel garage door panel be replaced?+
Sometimes. This depends on the profile, model, age of the door, severity of damage and availability of compatible panels. A full photo and close-up of the damaged section help start the assessment.
Do I need a completely new door if it becomes heavy or skew?+
Not always. The issue could relate to a spring, cable, roller or track. Do not keep operating a crooked or unusually heavy door. Have the mechanism inspected before deciding on a repair or replacement.
How can I get a quote for a single steel garage door?+
Send your Gauteng suburb, the opening's approximate width and height, your preferred profile and colour, plus a photograph if possible. Our team can discuss the next steps and whether a site measure is required. Prices are quoted for the current job rather than taken from old website listings.
