How to hire a garage door repair pro in South Africa
- Check experience with your setup — SA homes typically pair a garage door with an electric gate; many firms service both
- Ask about backup batteries for load-shedding — gate and door motors with dead batteries are a signature SA fault
- Get a written quote with call-out fee stated
- Confirm safety (auto-reverse) tested after repair
- Centurion and ET are the dominant local motor brands — check genuine parts
- Check references or Kandua reviews
No licensing applies in South Africa. Load-shedding is the defining local factor: motor batteries cycle daily and die young, making battery replacement and solar/backup upgrades the most common jobs alongside springs and tracks.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my garage door noisy or shaking?
Worn rollers, loose hardware and dry hinges cause most rattles — an annual service (tighten, lubricate, balance-check) fixes them cheaply. Grinding or jerky travel points at track alignment or a failing opener drive. Noise on the way up plus a heavy-feeling door means the springs are losing tension.
Can a dented garage door panel be replaced without a new door?
Often yes — sectional door panels are replaceable individually if the model is still made. Older or discontinued doors may force a full replacement, and a car-impact door needs its tracks and frame checked too. Get the model tag details before calling to speed up the quote.
What does garage door servicing include and is it worth it?
A service covers spring tension and balance, cable and roller condition, track alignment, hardware tightening, lubrication and opener safety tests (auto-reverse). Annually serviced doors break far less and their openers last longer — it's the cheapest insurance this trade sells.
How much does garage door repair cost?
Most repairs are call-out jobs: spring, cable and roller replacements sit at the low-to-mid range, opener (motor) repairs or replacement mid-range, and panel or track damage from vehicle impact at the top. Full door replacement is quoted separately per door size and material.
Why won't my garage door open?
The most common culprits, in order: a snapped torsion spring (you'll often hear the bang), a failed opener or its remote/keypad batteries, a disengaged emergency release, or a blocked/misaligned safety sensor making the opener refuse to run. Springs and openers are pro repairs; sensors you can often realign yourself.
Why does my garage door battery keep dying in South Africa?
Load-shedding cycles the backup battery daily — far beyond its design duty — so batteries that should last 3-5 years die in 1-2. Fit a higher-capacity battery or a small solar trickle setup, and replace proactively before stage-6 weeks strand you.
