Garage Door Motor Warranty: 5 Years on Every Capital Opener

A Capital opener we install carries a 5-year warranty on the motor and drive, our workmanship carries a 12-month warranty, and a yearly service takes the motor and drive cover to 7 years with annual servicing. Register or check it online.

The Two Levels

Standard Cover, and the Extension for Serviced Doors

Every Capital opener starts on the standard cover. A professional service each year is the one condition for the longer term.

Standard Cover

5 Years

On the motor and drive of every Capital opener we install.

  • 5-year warranty on the motor and drive unit
  • 12-month warranty on Elite's installation workmanship
  • Claims handled by the Perth team that fitted the opener
  • Cover starts on install day

Register the installation online after install day and the cover is recorded against your address.

Needs an annual service

Extended Cover

7 Years

Two more years on the motor and drive for doors that get an annual service.

  • Everything in Standard cover
  • Motor and drive warranty extended to 7 years with annual servicing
  • The yearly service doubles as a full door check
  • Book the service each year and the cover continues

Applies while the door is professionally serviced every 12 months.

In Detail

What Is Covered, What Is Not, and How to Claim

The specifics, so there is no surprise when something goes wrong.

Motor and drive unit

The motor and the drive of a Capital 1100N or 1500N opener are covered by the 5-year warranty from the day it is installed.

Installation workmanship

How the opener was mounted, wired, set up and tested is covered by the 12-month warranty; a fault traced to the fitting is put right at our cost.

The extension to 7 years

A professional service every 12 months carries the motor and drive warranty out to 7 years with annual servicing. Skip the service and the standard cover still stands.

What is not covered

Storm, impact or water damage, misuse, work on the door by another company, and parts that are expected to wear, such as remote batteries and the door's own springs and cables.

Other opener brands

Merlin, B&D, ATA, Gliderol and the rest are repaired, not sold new, so cover on a part fitted to them comes from that part's maker.

Making a claim

Ring the Gosnells office with the install address. The job is on file, so there is no paperwork to find and nothing to post.

The Hardware

What Gets Installed

The opener, its safety beams and its controls, all set up and tested on install day.

How It Works

From Install Day to a Claim

  1. 1

    The opener is installed

    The technician fits the Capital unit, sets its limits and force, tests the safety beams and records the model and install date on the job.

  2. 2

    You register it online

    A few minutes on the registration page records the cover against your address, so it is found by the address rather than a receipt.

  3. 3

    The door is serviced once a year

    An annual service keeps the door balanced so the opener is never lifting more than it should, and it is what carries the cover from 5 years to 7 years with annual servicing.

  4. 4

    A fault gets fixed

    If the motor or drive fails inside the cover, or the installation was at fault, you call and a technician attends to put it right.
