Door repair

“My garage door was totally buckled and busted due to a malfunction. I thought I was looking at a full replacement. [The technician] came out and did a fantastic job, fully taking apart and putting back together the original door. Runs better than it did before mind you. Really happy with the service and price.”

Garage doors on the Central Coast: what to know before you call

Gosford, Wyong, the lakes and the beaches in between

Garage door installation on the Central Coast

A new door starts with the opening. The door specialist measures its width, the headroom above it and the room on each side, because every door type needs something different. Steel-Line's figures show the gap: its sectional doors need a minimum headroom of 290mm as standard, while its roller doors need 430mm to 510mm above the opening.

Say whether it is a brand new door, a replacement for an old tilt or roller door, or a motor for the door you already have. The job then goes to a door specialist who works your part of the coast and does that kind of work.

Garage door motors on the Central Coast

Openers are made for a door type, so a roller door motor and a sectional door opener are different machines. B&D, Merlin and Steel-Line each sell separate ranges, and Steel-Line says its openers fit most popular brands of door with the right accessories.

Most openers want power close by. B&D's Smart Pro manual asks for a properly earthed 3 pin power point on the ceiling within an arm's length of the opener, put in by a qualified electrical contractor. In NSW an opener plugged into a power point that is already there is not part of the electrical installation; a new power point is licensed electrical work.

Two extras are worth asking about. Battery backup keeps a door working in a blackout: Merlin builds it into one sectional opener and offers it as an add-on for most others, and B&D sells one for its Smart opener. Safety beams are the other: B&D says a change to the Standards Australia standard from 1 December 2020 made them compulsory with the sale of any smart opener device.

The NSW rules, briefly

There is no garage door licence in New South Wales. Legal Aid NSW groups garage doors with lifts and escalators, as equipment moving along fixed guides, and says that work is not home building work.

Wiring is the line to watch. NSW Fair Trading says that unless you are a qualified electrical worker you should never install, replace or move power points. When a licensed electrician has done new work, a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work is submitted for it, and Service NSW's online check will show whether their licence is current.

Around the Central Coast

The lakes

Tuggerah Lake is mostly open to the ocean at The Entrance, the NSW Government says. Steel-Line's warranty leaves out homes within 800 metres of the sea or of water just as salty, so ask how your door's maker treats a lakeside street.

Norah Head and the big storms

Gusts of 135 km/h were recorded at Norah Head in the April 2015 East Coast Low. A door that has started catching or rubbing since a storm is worth a look before the next one.

Bush behind Gosford

Homes were destroyed at Somersby and Peats Ridge in the January 1994 fires. Central Coast Council maps bush fire prone land with the NSW Rural Fire Service, and the RFS sets out six Bushfire Attack Levels, from BAL-LOW up to BAL-FZ.

What we would do

Before a motor goes on an older door, test the door on its own. B&D's Smart Pro manual says a door run by hand should move smoothly and take no more than 20kg of force at the bottom rail. If yours is stiff or heavy, mention it: a new opener on a badly balanced door is working against it from the first day.

Questions people ask

Do I need a licensed electrician for a garage door motor?

Only if there is no power point near where the motor goes, or the motor is to be hard-wired. Under the NSW definition, an opener that plugs into an existing power point is not part of the electrical installation.

Which parts of the Central Coast do you cover?

The whole coast, from Gosford and Brisbane Water up to Wyong and the northern lakes. Give your postcode and the job goes to a door specialist who works there.
