How much does a garage door repair cost?
It depends on the fault and the parts needed. We inspect the door, explain what's wrong and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
What types of garage doors do you work on?
Roller doors, sectional (panel-lift) doors, tilt doors, side-hinged doors and custom timber or aluminium doors, plus all common garage door motors and remotes.

My garage door won't open — what should I do?
Stop pressing the remote, check for anything blocking the safety beams, and don't touch the springs or cables. If the door feels very heavy or you heard a bang, a spring may have broken — call us on (02) 9069 1846.
Can you fix my door the same day?
We carry common parts in our vans and aim to complete most repairs in one visit. Call early and we'll do our best to attend the same day.
How often should a garage door be serviced near the beach?
We recommend every 6–12 months for homes close to the ocean or harbour, because salt air and sand wear out springs, cables and rollers faster. Once a year is fine for most other homes.
How quickly can you repair my garage door in Manly?
Our workshop is at 102 Sydney Rd, Manly, so we're close to most local homes. Call early and we'll aim to visit the same day. We work 7am–8pm, seven days a week.
Do you carry parts with you?
Yes. Our vans carry common springs, cables, rollers, hinges, remotes and seals, so most repairs are finished in one visit. Special-order parts are sourced as quickly as possible.
How long does a new garage door installation take?
Most single and double door installations are completed in a single day once the door has arrived.
Do you take away my old garage door?
Yes, removal and disposal of the old door can be included in your quote.
Why is my roller door so hard to open?
Usually the spring tension has dropped. A re-tension restores the balance so the door lifts easily.
Can a dented roller door be fixed?
Minor dents and bent guides can often be straightened. Badly creased curtains may need replacing — we'll advise after inspecting.
Why does my garage door remote not work?
Common causes are a flat battery, a lost code, interference or a faulty receiver. We can test, re-code or replace the remote or receiver.
Can you add smartphone control to my existing opener?
Many modern openers can be fitted with a Wi-Fi or smart module. We'll check compatibility with your model.
How long do garage door springs last?
It depends on the spring and how often the door is used. Springs are rated in cycles (one open and close), and a busy family garage can wear them out in a number of years. A regular service helps spot wear early.
Can I still open my door with a broken spring?
We don't recommend it. Without spring support the door is extremely heavy and can drop suddenly. Leave it closed and call us.
Do you work on weekends?
Yes — we're open 7am to 8pm every day of the week, including Saturdays and Sundays.
My door is stuck open. Can you secure it today?
That's exactly the kind of job we prioritise. Call as early as you can and we'll work to make your home secure the same day.
How often should I service my garage door?
Once a year for most homes, and every 6–12 months for homes close to the beach or harbour.
What lubricant should I use on my garage door?
A silicone or dry lubricant designed for garage doors. Avoid heavy grease, which attracts sand and grit.
Garage door trouble? We're open 7am–8pm, 7 days.
