* Centurion's 3-year warranty on the motor. We cover the first year on-site at no charge; after that the garage door motor is still covered, but callout and labour are charged. The DC Blue and Digidoor motors have the manufacturer's 1-year warranty, which we cover on-site. The warranties don't cover the batteries.
We're not VAT registered, so we don't charge VAT.
We automate sectional garage doors only: single, double and caravan-size doors. We don't automate tip-up or steel roll-up doors. Ask us which motor suits your door.
Many homes in Johannesburg's established northern suburbs, such as Melville, Greenside, Parktown and Auckland Park,
have older, heavier garage doors. A heavy door needs a motor with enough lifting power, and a worn or unbalanced
door shortens any motor's life, whatever the brand.
So on an older Johannesburg door, we check the door's condition before we recommend a motor. The Digi One works well
with old, heavy doors, and for most other homes the Centurion SDO5 SMART+ is the popular choice. Every new motor
comes with a free garage door service, so an ageing door doesn't wear out your new motor, and every motor we fit
has battery backup, so a power cut doesn't leave you stuck outside your own garage.
Send us a photo of your garage door on WhatsApp, or use the form below, and we'll send you a free written quote
before any work starts. Replacing an old motor normally takes about an hour, if the door doesn't need any
repairs.
For the steps of an installation, extras like keypads, safety beams and phone control, and answers to common
questions, see our garage door motor installation page.
