AUTOMATION SERVICES
Whether you are automating something for the first time, replacing a motor that has finally given up, or adding phone control to a system that already works, it is the same team and the same number.
Garage Door Openers
Belt, chain, screw and jackshaft openers supplied, installed and programmed, plus remotes, keypads, Wi-Fi modules and safety sensors.
- Every major brand carried
- Same-day fitting on most models
- Remotes and keypads programmed on site
Garage Door Motor Replacement
Motor humming but not moving, reversing halfway or clicking with no response? We diagnose first and only replace when a repair genuinely will not last.
- Diagnosis before replacement
- Old unit removed and disposed of
- New motor, remotes and warranty
Gate Motors & Automation
Automation for sliding, swing and telescopic gates, on a gate we built or one that was already there. Motors, remotes, keypads, intercoms and safety beams.
- Sliding, swing and telescopic gates
- Power supply included in the quote
- Safety beams fitted and tested
Gate Motor Replacement
Gate motors cop sun, rain and dust for years. When one fails we match a replacement to the weight and span of your gate rather than fitting whatever is on the van.
- Motor matched to gate weight and span
- Control board and remotes reprogrammed
- Often replaced the same day
Smart Systems
Wi-Fi control, cameras, motion sensors and extra remotes so you can open, close and check your door or gate from anywhere.
- Open and close from your phone
- Cameras, sensors and live alerts
- Works with most existing systems

Elisha definitely knows a thing or two about garage doors! We have an old B&D panel lift door at our place which was one of the first produced. We had 3 separate companies out to look at its issues and try and repair it but they all chalked it up to end of life and quoted for a…

Prompt and professional. Elisha came out on a Saturday to replace my old broken garage door motor. He is very knowledgeable, thorough, and adds in valuable education (useful tips that most garage door owners are unaware of). Thank you!

Elisha did a wonderful job fixing our garage door. He was knowledgeable, professional, skilful and explained everything very well. I will certainly be asking him back for any future work.

The technician is so talented, we called few companies before, no one could figure out what the problem is. Then I got my luck here, the job got done so quick I am so surprised. Highly recommended, price is also very fair.

FAQ
FAQ
Common questions about garage door openers, gate motors and smart automation across Brisbane.
Most quality openers last somewhere between 10 and 15 years depending on how many cycles a day they run and whether the door itself has been kept balanced. A door that is out of balance is the single fastest way to wear out a motor early.
Often, yes. Faulty limit switches, worn gears, dead capacitors, damaged sensors and failed remotes are all repairable. We diagnose first and will tell you honestly when a repair is worth doing and when it is throwing money at a unit that is done.
Yes. A Wi-Fi receiver added to most existing openers lets you open, close and check the status of your door or gate from an app, anywhere. See our smart systems page for the options.
Absolutely. They can be paired to a single remote using an external receiver, or by running the same brand of motor on both.
Yes. Every automation install includes safety sensors or beams and a tested auto-reverse, so the door or gate stops and backs off if something crosses its path.
We remove it and take it away as part of the job, so there is nothing left in the garage for you to deal with.
