Nine types of garage door, built to your measured opening and fitted across George — roll-up, sectional, tip-up, sliding, side-hinged, wooden, aluminium, steel and insulated.
We make nine types of garage door and we fit and repair all of them across George, from our own Western Cape works. Every door is built to your measured opening rather than cut down from a stock size, because standard sizes stopped matching South African garages a long time ago.
Which type you need is decided mostly by the building, not by taste. Three measurements settle it: the opening width, the opening height, and the clear headroom between the top of the opening and the ceiling or the nearest beam. Send us those and we will tell you what actually fits before we talk about finishes.
Every type we make
Nine ways to close a garage opening. Each one is built to your measured size — tell us the opening and the headroom and we will say which of these actually fits.
Single, double and tandem
Roll-up garage doors curl into a drum above the opening instead of running back along the ceiling, so the garage keeps its full roof space and…
Where headroom allows a panel stack
Sectional doors lift in hinged panels that stack flat against the ceiling. They seal better than any other garage door and run quietly enough not to…
Single-panel, spring balanced
A single rigid panel that tilts up and slides back overhead. Simple, robust, and still the most common door on older South African homes.
Where there is no headroom at all
Sliding doors run sideways along the wall instead of upward. The answer when a garage has no usable headroom and a roll-up or sectional door will…
Two leaves, nothing overhead
Side-hinged garage doors swing outward on two leaves, like an oversized pair of gates. They suit workshops, storerooms and low garages where nothing can run overhead.
Meranti, cedar and saligna
Meranti, cedar and saligna garage doors built on a galvanised steel frame and sealed on all six faces before they are hung. Tip-up or sectional, manual…
For coastal air and wide openings
Rust-free aluminium garage doors for coastal homes, wide double openings and full-view glazed designs. Powder-coated to any RAL, with stainless fixings throughout.
The workhorse, galvanised and coated
Galvanised steel garage doors in 0.5mm to 0.8mm sheet, Chromadek or powder-coated, built to your measured opening as roll-up, sectional or tip-up. Repairs on any make.
Warmer garage, quieter house
Foam-cored sectional garage doors with thermal breaks and full perimeter seals, for attached garages, converted rooms and bedrooms above the garage.
Already have a door
We service and repair garage doors we did not fit, on any make of door or motor.
Domestic and complex, all makes
Garage door repairs on roll-up, sectional and tip-up doors. Broken springs, doors that will not close, motors that hum but do not move —…

What customers say
Dock door back up the same morning
Our main dispatch door jammed at 6am with trucks already queuing. They had a technician on site before 8 and the door was running by mid-morning. They also told us the spring was the wrong rating for how often we cycle it, which nobody had mentioned in four years.

Straight answer instead of a sales pitch
I expected to be told I needed a new door. Instead they replaced three slats and the bottom rail and charged a fraction of what I had budgeted. The door has been fine since.

Galvanised made the difference
Our previous doors were rusting within two years of being painted. They replaced all six in galvanised with marine fixings and explained exactly why. Three years on there is barely a mark on them.

Common questions
It is decided by three measurements: the opening width, the opening height, and the clear headroom between the top of the opening and the ceiling or nearest beam. With no headroom you are looking at a roll-up or side-hinged door. With headroom, a sectional door gives the best seal. Send us the three numbers and we will tell you what fits.
It follows the opening size, the material and whether the door is manual or motorised. A single steel roll-up sits at the bottom of the range and a wide insulated aluminium sectional at the top. We quote per opening after measuring rather than publish a figure that turns out to be wrong for your garage.
A standard single or double door on a sound opening is a half-day job. If the frame has to be replaced, the opening squared up or a motor and power point added, allow a full day. We give you the actual figure when we survey, not an optimistic one.
Yes. We install and service in George and surrounds from our own Western Cape works. For outlying towns we schedule the survey and the installation together so you are not paying for two trips.
Usually. Roll-up, sectional and tip-up doors all take standard operators, provided the door is running true and the springs are balanced. If the door is dragging, we fix that first — bolting a motor to a badly balanced door burns the motor out.
Our motors are supplied with battery backup, which gives you a working door through an outage. Every door also has a manual override release so you can open it by hand if the battery is flat.
Yes, on any make of door or motor. Most of our service work is on other people\u2019s doors: dented sections, broken springs, worn rollers, jumped curtains, seized motors and rusted bottom rails.
Once a year for a domestic door in normal use, more often if it opens many times a day or sits in coastal air. A service covers spring tension, roller and hinge wear, track alignment, seals and the motor safety systems.
Aluminium. It does not rust, so it avoids the failure that eventually catches every galvanised steel door within a few kilometres of the sea. If steel is the only option in budget, we specify a marine coating and stainless fixings and set your expectations honestly.
Yes, and the hardware matters more than the material. Anti-lift brackets on roll-up doors, locking bars into both side tracks on sectional doors, rolling-code remotes so the signal cannot be captured, and a motor that holds the door down under load.
Next step
A rough width and height is enough to start a quote. If a door is stuck right now, call the standby number instead.
Two working hours is our usual turnaround on callbacks.
