Garage doors in Randburg
The double-garage belt, and the doors are all coming of age together
Randburg was built in a hurry through the seventies and eighties, and it was built with double garages. Which means that right now, across Ferndale, Blairgowrie, Bordeaux and Fontainebleau, thousands of double doors are hitting the end of their working lives within a few years of one another.
A double door is a different animal from a single. It is heavier, so the springs work harder and fail sooner; it is wider, so a snapped cable twists the whole panel out of true much faster; and it needs a genuinely capable motor rather than the smallest unit that fits the bracket. Getting a double wrong is expensive in a way that getting a single wrong is not.
The good news is that most Randburg doors are worth saving. A tired double steel sectional with new springs, new rollers and a proper re-balance is a door with another decade in it — and it costs a fraction of a replacement. When it genuinely is finished, we will say so, and not before.

Undersized motorsFitted years ago to a door that has since gained a decade of stiffness.
Cables that twist the panelOn a double, a snapped cable does damage fast. Stop using it and phone us.
Rust at the bottom railWhere the door meets a driveway that does not drain. Very common here.

Garage door questions from Randburg
Doubles, springs, motors and whether to repair or replace.
In Randburg and stuck?
Send us a photo of the door on WhatsApp. We can usually name the fault before we load the vehicle.
WhatsApp a photoMy double garage door is very heavy to lift. Is that normal?
No. A properly balanced door — even a big double — should lift with two fingers and stay wherever you leave it. If yours is heavy, a spring has broken or has lost its tension, and the motor is currently doing work it was never designed to do. Stop using it before the gearbox goes too.
Should I repair or replace my 1980s Randburg door?
Usually repair, and we will say so honestly. A steel double with new springs, new rollers and a proper re-balance has another decade in it for a fraction of the cost of a new door. Where the panels are rusted through or the door is twisted, that changes, and we will tell you plainly.
Do you replace both springs or just the broken one?
Both, always. The two springs have done exactly the same amount of work over exactly the same number of cycles. Replacing one and leaving the other is not a saving — it is scheduling your next callout.
How quickly can you get to Randburg?
Same-day for a breakdown, on most days. Randburg is on our main northern route and the vehicles pass through it constantly.
