COMMON SIGNS & PROBLEMS
What Are You Experiencing?
The symptom can help narrow down whether the issue is mechanical, electrical or related to automation.
An old or damaged door needs replacement.
Change the appearance, material or operation of the door.
Automate a suitable existing garage door.
Replace an ageing or unsuitable opener.
Door type depends on available space and structure.
Safety: Avoid dismantling tensioned garage-door components or forcing automated doors and gates that are jammed, crooked or moving abnormally.
Plan the Complete Garage Door Installation
A new or replacement installation starts with the opening itself — door size, available headroom, structure, door type and automation all need to work together.

New garage doors and installation in Cape Town
Garage door installation enquiries range from a complete new garage on a new build, to replacing an old or damaged door, to automating a door that currently opens manually. The right approach depends on the opening, the existing structure and what you're trying to achieve.
Choosing a Door Type
Door type is one of the first decisions in any installation. Aluminium garage doors are a popular modern option, and sectional garage doors are a common configuration for many Cape Town homes. For a broader look at new and replacement door options, see our garage doors Cape Town hub.
Single vs Double Openings
A single or double garage opening affects the door size, weight and the motor required to operate it comfortably. This is worth confirming early, particularly for a replacement installation where the existing opening and structure need to be matched.
Automation
Most new installations are automated from the outset, and an existing manual door can often be automated separately. See garage door automation for what to consider before adding a motor to a new or existing door.
Repair or a Full Installation?
Not every issue with an existing garage door means a new installation is needed. Where the existing door is mechanically sound, a repair may be the more practical option — see garage door repairs. Installation becomes the more relevant option when the door or its structure has reached the end of its useful life, or when a different door type or size is wanted.
What Affects Installation Price
Installation pricing depends on the door type and size, the motor and automation selected, the condition of the existing opening and structure, and the amount of work involved in fitting and finishing. For a general guide to the factors that influence pricing, see our repair costs guide.
