Garage door motor repairs in Perth for whichever brand is on the unit. We fault-find and repair twelve opener brandsas an independent technician: the diagnosis happens at your door, the price is agreed before any part is touched, and there's no call-out fee. We don't sell any of these brands new. When an opener is beyond economical repair, the one range we supply and install is the Capital motor range, and the motor replacement cost guide explains what a new unit costs.

How to Tell Which Opener Brand You Own
Three places the brand is written, in the order worth checking.
Step 1
Read the motor head
The brand and model are printed on the housing or a label on its underside. On a sectional door it's the unit on the ceiling at the end of the rail; on a roller door it's the unit on the axle beside the drum.
Step 2
Check the remote
Most handsets carry the opener brand on the case or the battery cover, and the remote's shape narrows the generation, which matters for pairing and replacement.
Step 3
Look at the door badge
A door and opener supplied together usually share a brand (Centurion, Steel-Line, Dominator, Gliderol). If the badges differ, the motor head wins.
If repair isn't worth it
The One Motor Range We Supply New
None of the brands above are sold here new. When an opener is past saving, the replacement we supply and install is the Capital belt-drive range: a 1100N or 1500N unit with two remotes, a wall control, safety beams and app control, backed by a 5-year motor and drive warranty. Supplied-and-installed pricing is on the Capital motors page.

What we repair, what we don't sell, and how to work out what you've got.
Twelve, and most others besides: Merlin, B&D, ATA, Gliderol, Centurion, Steel-Line, Grifco, Chamberlain, Powerlift, Guardian, Dominator and BOSS each have their own guide above. An opener from a brand not on the list is still a rail or axle unit with the same limits, drives, receivers and beams, so call and describe it. The one thing we don't do with any of these brands is sell them new.
The fault decides it, so the price is given at your door once the technician has found what has failed, and nothing is charged for the visit or the quote. Common opener repairs are listed with their price bands in the garage door repair cost guide; a new opener, when that's the better call, is covered in the motor replacement cost guide.
No. We repair and service those brands as an independent technician and don't supply any of them new. When an opener is beyond economical repair, the replacement we supply and install is the Capital belt-drive range, quoted before the old unit comes down.
Look at the motor head: on a sectional door it's the box on the ceiling at the end of the rail, on a roller door it's the unit on the axle beside the curtain drum. The brand is printed on the housing or a label underneath, and the remote usually carries it too. If the label has faded, photograph the unit and send it through; the shape of the housing and the remote are usually enough to identify it.
For nearly all of them. Existing handsets are re-paired at the unit, compatible replacements are coded to the receiver, and where a receiver has failed a new one can be fitted so current remotes work with an older motor. See garage door remotes for the options, or the remote programming guide if you'd like to try the learn-button steps yourself.
Repair when the failed part (a drive gear, coupling, limit assembly, capacitor, receiver or beam set) is available and the motor is sound. Replace when the motor has burnt out, the board can't be sourced, or the repair figure comes close to a new unit on an opener that's already old. The technician gives you both numbers; if the unit has gone completely dead, the motor not responding guide covers the checks worth doing first.
Not Sure Which Opener You Have?
Photograph the label on the motor head, or describe the unit and the door over the phone, and we'll tell you what it is and what the repair is likely to involve.
