Few household annoyances escalate as quickly as a stuck garage door during the festive season. On a normal workday it is an inconvenience, but when the car is loaded for a December getaway or a house-sitter cannot get inside, it turns into a real headache. Magnificent Garage Doors, a Pretoria and Johannesburg company that installs, automates and repairs garage doors, is urging homeowners in Gauteng to check their garage door motors ahead of the holiday break, and to pay special attention to automation fitted with battery backup.
A broad selection of domestic doors is supplied and installed by the company with battery-backed automation, and the same backup automation is available for gates as well. In practical terms, this keeps the door operating even when the power goes off.
The motor deserves as much attention as the door
When buying a new door, most people focus on how it looks and give little thought to the motor that does the lifting. Yet it is the motor that works several times every day, and an underpowered, badly installed or backup-free unit is usually the first source of trouble.
The company’s website lists a number of automation choices: the Magic Lift Plus garage door opener in 600N and 800N versions, the 1000N Magic Lift garage door opener, the ET DC Blue Advanced roll-up motor kit, the SDO4 SMART motor for sectional and tip-up doors, and the RDO II roll-up garage door motor. Which one is suitable comes down to the door’s type and weight, and installers can recommend the best fit for each property.
A door for every style of home
Garage doors from the company are offered in several materials and finishes. Meranti wooden doors can include glass panels, and before they leave the factory they are laminated using water-resistant wood glue and then dipped in oil. The aluminium range comes in framed, frameless and cladded options, with 6.38mm laminated glass and aluminium composite cladding inserts available, and stiffeners are built in to extend the life of each door.
Steel sectional Aluzinc doors use 0.5mm material made up of 55% aluminium and 45% zinc, which gives them better rust resistance than galvanised steel. They come in horizontal slatted and block designs, with colour choices such as white, black, charcoal, stone grey, buffalo brown and a wooden look. Roll-up doors in 0.4mm Chromadek can be made as large as 3m wide by 3m high and are suitable for automation. Alu-Fluted aluminium doors, made from 1.5mm material, need no maintenance and are offered in 110mm and 215mm broad fluted designs. Caravan-height garage doors also feature in the company’s list of services.
Fitted by experienced installers
Garage door installation is handled by teams with many years in the trade, and the company says quality workmanship is always guaranteed. Supply and installation cover Gauteng and its surrounds, along with certain parts of Mpumalanga and the Free State.
Anyone swapping out an old door before the holidays can have the new door and its automation fitted together. That means a single installation, a single round of checks and a working system in place before the family leaves.
Fixing problems before December
A new door is not always necessary. Often an existing door just needs attention. Garage door repairs from the company cover broken springs, broken doors and general servicing, along with gate motor work. On the repairs page, homeowners can fill in an enquiry form explaining the issue, selecting a service, a spring repair or another type of repair, and noting the area they are in.
Weak springs, doors that get stuck partway and motors that labour under the load should all be checked before December. When many tradespeople shut down over the holidays, help can be slower to arrive.
Quick checks before you leave
There are a few simple things homeowners can test themselves before heading off. Run the door through several full open and close cycles, listening for any grinding or straining. Confirm that it stops and reverses correctly. Put fresh batteries in remotes where needed and make sure every spare remote is accounted for. Where the motor has battery backup, switch off the mains and check that it still works. If anything seems off, it is worth having a professional look at it before the house stands empty.
Single, double and more
No two homes or garages are quite the same. The company offers single and double doors in its wooden, aluminium, Aluzinc and Alu-Fluted ranges, plus single and double glass doors. Among its newest designs are ten-panel double cladded doors in charcoal and white, along with a range of double doors combining aluminium and glass. Galleries of single and double doors appear on the website, together with a dimensions page that helps homeowners work out what will suit their opening.
Aluminium doors can also be made to a homeowner’s specifications, so the garage door can complement a modern build or a renovation. Since the garage door often takes up much of a home’s frontage, choosing well can transform the way the whole property looks from the road.
The company prices competitively, and quotations for a new door, automation or a repair can be requested via the website.
Business hours
Magnificent Garage Doors operates from 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, and does not open on weekends. Homeowners hoping to have work completed before the festive season are advised to make contact early in November to book a slot.
