Garage Door Installation & Automation
We automate manual garage doors and fit new motors on sectional, roll-up, and tip-up doors across Alberton and Johannesburg. Every install comes with a backup battery, so the door still opens when the power is off.
What Goes Into a Proper Install
A good install is the difference between a door that runs quietly for years and one that gives trouble from the first month. Here is what we fit and set up on every job.
Automate a manual door
We fit a motor to your manual door so it opens from the car with a remote. No more climbing out in the rain to lift it by hand.
New motor installs
Old motor given up? We fit a new Centurion or ET motor matched to your door, set the limits, and program your remotes so it runs right from day one.
A motor sized to your door
We weigh up your door first and fit a motor with the strength to lift it easily. A motor that never strains is one that keeps running for years.
Backup battery fitted
The door keeps working through load shedding. Every motor we install runs off a battery when the power is down, so you are never stuck on the driveway.
Safety auto-reverse
The door stops and pulls back the moment it meets something on the way down, so it can never come down on a car, a pet, or a child.
Remotes and keypad set up
We program your remotes and can add a keypad by the door, so you still get in with a code on the day you leave the remote behind.
We Automate Every Kind of Door
Sectional, roll-up, or tip-up. We have the right motor for each one.
Sectional doors
The panelled door that lifts up and folds flat under the ceiling. We automate these every week, and most homes built in the last twenty years have one.
Roll-up doors
The single sheet that rolls into a drum above the opening. Common on older homes and many double garages. We fit roll-up motors that drive them smoothly off the drum.
Tip-up doors
The one-piece door that swings out and up as a single panel. Older, but still around on plenty of homes. We can automate a sound one so it opens on its own.
Centurion and ET DC Blue Motors
We fit motors from two brands we trust on garage doors, both with a backup battery so the door keeps running through load shedding. The right one for you comes down to whether your door is a sectional or a roll-up, and how heavy it is.
Centurion Sectional
A strong, quiet motor for sectional doors, with a soft start and stop that is easy on the door. Comes with remotes and a backup battery.
Centurion Roll-Up
Made to drive roll-up doors smoothly off the drum. A reliable pick from a brand you find on gates and garages all over the country.
ET DC Blue Sectional
A popular sectional motor with battery backup built in, so the door keeps running when the power fails. Good value and simple to live with.
ET DC Blue Roll-Up
Drives roll-up doors with the same battery backup built in. A solid choice for an older single or double garage.

How We Get Your Door Running
Four simple steps, from the first visit to the moment your door opens on its own.
Free on-site visit
We come out, measure your door, check how it runs, and see what it weighs. Then we tell you which motor suits it and what it will cost. The visit is free.
A clear, fixed quote
You get the full price in writing. The motor, the battery, the remotes, and the labour are all listed. The number you see is the number you pay.
Neat installation
We mount the motor, fit the rail and bracket, wire it in, and set the open and close limits so the door stops in the right spot every time.
Test and hand over
We run the door a few times, program your remotes, and show you the manual release. We make sure you are happy with it before we go.
Your Garage Door Has to Open When the Power Is Off
The garage is how most people get in and out of the house, so a dead motor during load shedding turns into a real headache fast. We plan for that on every job.
Every motor we fit runs on a backup battery, so the door keeps opening and closing through an outage. The motors we use draw very little power, which gives you a good number of trips before the battery needs the mains again.
If you ever do run flat, every door has a manual release cord. We show you how to use it on handover, so you are never locked out of your own garage.
Backup battery as standard
The door keeps running through load shedding with no extra steps from you.
A manual release on every door
Pull the cord and lift the door by hand if the battery is ever flat.
Surge protection on request
We can guard the motor board against the spike that hits when the power comes back.
Why People Pick Us for a New Motor
We size the motor to your door
We weigh the door first and fit a motor that lifts it with room to spare, so it runs easily and lasts for years instead of burning out early.
One clear price, fitted and done
The quote covers the motor, the battery, the remotes, and the labour. Nothing extra appears once the work is under way.
New parts carry a 12 month warranty
Every new part we fit is covered for 12 months by the maker, and we back our installation work for 12 months too.
We have done this since 2008
Garage doors across Alberton and the East Rand are part of our week. You get people who know how to set a door up so it runs smoothly.
