Garage door repairs for sectional garage doors: broken springs, frayed cables, worn hinges and garage door motors. Family-run since 2002 by Franz and Wendy, and we never use subcontractors.
A garage door that won't open, jams halfway, hangs crooked or closes with a bang is usually a broken spring, a frayed cable or a worn hinge, and sometimes more than one at once. If you hear a loud bang, the door feels heavy, or the motor runs but the door doesn't move, stop using it and call us.
We repair broken garage doors in Johannesburg, Krugersdorp, Randburg, Roodepoort and Sandton, and where possible we fix the door rather than replace it. Please don't try to lift or force a door with a broken spring, because the parts are under tension.
Stop using the motor, because it can burn out. WhatsApp us a photo and we'll tell you what we see.
We carry spares with us all the time, so we can repair your garage door quickly.
The springs balance the weight of your door. The correct springs must be fitted, or the door and the motor take strain. Springs usually last about 7–10 years, and when we replace them, we service the whole door for free.
The cables lift your door and hold its weight. They run down from the top to the bottom bracket on each side. A snapped cable can leave the door hanging skew, or too heavy for the motor to lift.
A broken hinge is normally a sign that your door needs a service. Hinges take extra strain when the door isn't balanced correctly, which is why we offer a yearly garage door service.
A motor often breaks because the door is in poor condition and makes it take strain. Missed services and lightning are other causes. We're Centurion and Digidoor certified.
WhatsApp us a photo or short video of your garage door, and we'll tell you what we see. Quotes from photos are free.
WhatsApp a PhotoWe work on sectional garage doors only, not tip-up or steel roll-up doors. If your old tip-up or roll-up door is broken, we can replace it with a sectional door.
WhatsApp us a photo or short video of your garage door, call us, or use the form below. We normally reply within 2–3 business hours.
We tell you what's wrong and send you a written quote before any work starts. Quotes from photos are free. If we need to see the door first, we only charge a callout fee if you don't accept the quote.
We're usually on site within a day, with spares on board. Your repair has a 3-month on-site warranty.
We have over 35 years combined experience in the company, and we've had the same staff for more than 10 years. We never use subcontractors, and Franz is on site for almost every job.
We've repaired many doors where other installers have failed. After we've done work for you, we'll contact you every year to offer a garage door service, so your door and motor keep running smoothly.
In their own words.

FGM Automation did a fantastic job.
I already had made an appointment on the Monday for the garage door motor and springs to be replaced on Friday unfortunately the spring broke the next day on Tuesday miday , made a call to Franz who rescheduled the appointment for Thursday morning. Couple of hours later it was all working again. I can definitely recommend Franz and his team at FGM.
