Garage door repairs in Dandenong
A door that has come off its guide rails is one to leave exactly where it is. B&D says not to try lifting it back on yourself, because a spring or a cable may already be broken and could hurt you.
Frayed lift cables are the other warning sign. On a sectional door they carry the whole weight of the door, Steel-Line says, so a cable with broken strands should only be replaced by experienced door people. Keep the car out and the opener off until it has been seen.
Automatic gates in Dandenong
For a driveway gate, the motor follows the gate. ATA, CENTSYS and Merlin all give weight limits for their sliding motors, so the door specialist will ask what your gate is made of and how long it is.
Swing gates take a different motor again: CENTSYS's V-Series SMART is a piston-driven operator with a 400mm or 500mm stroke. Mains power to a new gate motor is work for a Registered Electrical Contractor, who sends a licensed electrician.

A door maker's home ground
B&D gives its head office as Keysborough, beside Dandenong, and sells and installs through a national network of accredited dealers.
Sheds and big openings
Roller doors suit sheds and workshops that need a clear ceiling. Steel-Line's AA series covers openings from 3435mm to 5500mm wide.
A bigger project
If the job grows into a new garage or carport worth more than $10,000, Victoria requires a registered builder and a written contract.
What we would do
If your door is still under warranty, mention the brand when you tell us the job. Steel-Line's cover depends on a yearly service by Steel-Line or an approved service partner, so who does the work can matter as much as the repair itself.
