Garage Doors

Nine types of garage door, built to your measured opening and fitted nationwide — 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 South Africa, from the factory in Tarlton and branches in Cape Town and George. 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.

The short version

  • No headroom? Roll-up or side-hinged.
  • Garage attached to the house, or converted? Insulated sectional.
  • Near the sea? Aluminium.
  • Wanting the door to look like part of the house? Wooden, or an aluminium woodgrain finish if nobody will recoat it.
  • Just want a solid door at a fair price? Steel, in the right gauge.

Every type we make

Garage door types

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.

Roll-Up Garage Doors

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…

  • Insulated aluminium or galvanised slat
  • Openings to 5 000mm wide
  • Remote and battery backup available

Sectional Garage Doors

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…

  • 40mm insulated panels
  • Full perimeter weather seals
  • Glazed panel options

Tip-Up and Up-and-Over Garage Doors

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.

  • One-piece steel or timber panel
  • Counterbalance spring mechanism
  • Motorisable with the right operator

Sliding Garage Doors

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…

  • Runs sideways along the wall
  • Manual or motorised
  • Suits low-roof and basement garages

Side-Hinged Garage Doors

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.

  • Steel, timber or aluminium leaves
  • Welded steel subframe, adjustable hinges
  • No headroom required

Wooden Garage Doors

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…

  • Timber on a galvanised steel frame
  • Sealed all six faces before hanging
  • Tip-up or sectional mechanism

Aluminium Garage Doors

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.

  • Extruded aluminium, stainless fixings
  • Powder-coated, anodised or woodgrain
  • Sectional, tip-up or roll-up slat

Steel Garage Doors

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.

  • 0.5mm to 0.8mm galvanised sheet
  • Chromadek or powder-coated to any RAL
  • Roll-up, sectional or tip-up

Insulated Garage Doors

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.

  • 40mm bonded polyurethane core
  • Thermal break at every section joint
  • Full perimeter seals, all four edges

What customers say

Reviews from garage door jobs

  • Quick, tidy, no fuss

    Motorised our old manual door and fitted a battery backup. Two hours on site, cleaned up after themselves, and showed my wife how to work the manual override before they left.

  • Reports we can actually file

    We needed evidence of maintenance for our insurers. Every visit comes with a written report covering force testing and safety devices. It closed the audit finding first time.

    Nadia F.Facilities manager, Centurionvia Google

  • Good work, slightly slower than promised

    The door itself is excellent and the installation was neat. Manufacture ran about a week longer than the original estimate, though they did keep us updated. Would still use them again.

Common questions

Choosing and fitting a garage door

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 all nine provinces from branches in Krugersdorp, Cape Town and George. 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

Send the opening size. We will do the rest.

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.
