Garage Door Motors · Matraville & Eastern Suburbs
Garage door motors and openers
A good motor makes a garage door safe and effortless. We install and repair openers for roller doors, sectional doors and tilt doors, and we'll tell you honestly whether an old motor is worth repairing or due for replacement.
We fit motors from established brands such as Merlin, ATA, Gliderol, Steel-Line, Centurion and others, and can add battery backup for blackouts, photo-electric safety beams, keypads and smartphone control.
Motor installation
Check the door first
A motor can't fix a badly balanced door. We check and adjust the door before fitting the opener.
Fit the motor
Rail or wall mount, depending on the door type and ceiling space.
Set limits and force
Open and close positions and the obstruction force are set so the door reverses if it meets resistance.
Program and hand over
Remotes, keypads and app control are paired, and we show you the manual release.

Questions we get asked
How long do garage door motors last?
It depends on use and how well the door is balanced. A door that's out of balance makes the motor work harder and shortens its life. Regular servicing helps.
What is battery backup?
A battery inside or beside the motor that keeps the door working for a number of cycles during a power cut, so you're not locked in or out.
Can I open my garage from my phone?
Many current motors support smartphone apps, either built in or with an add-on module. We'll recommend one that suits your door.
