Advantages of Alu -Zink Sectional Garage Doors ( AKA Steel / Chromodeck ) As it turns out, Alu - Zink offers a number of advantages over wood and the other materials. In many ways, the perfect material to build these doors from. As a result, there are plenty of people in the industry who will tell you that, aside from garnering interest as a kind of specialty item, the days of the wood garage door are numbered and the other materials don’t stand much chance of making a significant dent in Alu - Zink ever-growing market share. Some of Alu - Zink many advantages include: Durability - When it comes to long-lasting durability , nothing comes close to Alu - Zink . Whereas with wood you’d be fighting an endless battle against decay , weather erosion , water damage and our sunny South African harsh beaming sunlight . With Alu - Zink your doors are ready and willing to take on the worst of the South African climate and come out the other side unscathed year after year . No more warping . No more rot along the base . No more painting and repainting to keep the elements at bay . No more replacing cracked panels every year . And , as all of this implies , Alu -Zink door maintenance is a fraction of what it is on wooden doors . Affordability - Even with all of their advantages , Alu - Zink Garage Doors are still less expensive than wooden doors . In some cases significantly less expensive. A customized wooden door may cost you 2 or 3 times as much as a customized Alu - Zink . And even with the added expense , the wooden door will never match the maintenance savings of the Alu - Zink doors . Safety and Security - Many home intrusions begin with criminals exploiting weak spots in wooden doors. They’ll never have that opportunity with your Alu - Zink Garage Door . Not only that but if by some unfortunate turn of events your home should catch fire, your Alu - Zink doors won’t contribute to making things worse and can even provide you with a fire-free exit if need be.
Beauty - With the different and beautiful options in colour & textures . There is sure to be a look to serve your needs and desires . Alu - Zink doors will add beauty and balance to any home exterior while delivering secure, energy-efficient functionality at the same time . Enhanced Value - All that beauty will also deliver enhanced curb appeal to beat the band . Developers and real estate agents agree that new Alu -Zink garage doors can substantially increase your ability to sell your home in a timely fashion and for a better price than if you had old , high maintenance wooden doors in place . Environmental Responsibility - No old-growth forests or dwindling stands of hardwood have to be cut down to create your Alu - Zink doors. Also, should you at some future date decide to replace your doors the Alu - Zink can be completely recycled; whereas the panels from your old wooden doors will simply be relegated to the landfill or a funny tasting braai Long-Term Satisfaction - While wooden doors will always carry the panache of being constructed from a completely natural material, that panache can wear off pretty fast when your garage is malfunctioning in the colder weather , you’re on your 3rd repainting cycle and high maintenance costs. It’s often only after a few years that owners of new Alu - Zink doors finally come to truly appreciate the low-maintenance value of an Alu - Zink Garage Door.

Your hardworking Garage Door should be

tuned-up to keep it running longer and

smoother and to avoid expensive repairs

Garage DoorTronix is unique

in every way and we pride at making your

garage door problem our problem.

Don't let a futile problem like a Garage

Door add to every day to day Stress.

About Garage Door Repairs

There are three components to

a garage door:

1)The door itself ( Alu-Zink /

Wooden Panels )

2)The Garage door hardware

3) The motor for your Garage Door

In this section, we'll help you look,

repair or prevent garage door problems

Garage doors operate on spring tension

or torsion. The door moves on

metal tracks on the garage walls, and a

heavy spring or springs provide the power.

In most cases when the door doesn't

work easily, the springs are the cause,

the springs are the most important

and MOST DANGEROUS

component and its always best to have

a qualified "DoorTronix" technician repair,

set or replace them for you. Check the metal

tracks inside the garage. Look at the

mounting brackets that hold the tracks

to the walls.If they're loose, tighten them.

Working inside the garage with the

garage door closed, examine the

tracks for dents, crimps, or flat spots. If

there are any damaged spots, pound them

out with a rubber mallet, or with a hammer

and a block of scrap wood. If the tracks

are badly damaged, they should be replaced.

Check the tracks with a level to make sure

they're properly aligned. Horizontal tracks

should slant slightly down toward the back

of the garage; the vertical sections of the

track should be exactly plumb. Both tracks

must be at the same height on the garage

walls. If the tracks are not properly

aligned, loosen but do not remove the

screws or bolts that hold the mounting

brackets, and tap the tracks carefully into

position. Recheck the tracks

with the level to make sure they're in the

right position; then tighten the screws

or bolts at the mounting brackets.

Caution!!:

DO NOT TRY THIS WITH A SINGLE

GARAGE DOOR.THE SPRINGS ARE

TENSION ARE GREAT Clean

the tracks with concentrated household

cleaner to remove dirt and hardened

grease. Clean the rollers thoroughly,

and wipe both tracks and rollers dry.

Do not leave any soup inside the

wheels or tracks, the soups is sticky

and tends to collect dust and rust the

bearings or metal parts

Lubricate both the tracks and the rollers

using garage door lubricant spray or

powdered graphite on the tracks, and

household oil or silicone spray on the

rollers. If there are any pulleys,

lubricat ethem with the same lubricant

you used on the rollers.

Check for loose hardware, and tighten

as needed. On swing-up

doors, check the plates where the

spring is mounted to be sure the screws

are tight and tighten any loose

screws. On roll-up doors, check the

hinges that hold the sections of the door

together; tighten any loose screws, and

replace any damaged hinges.Sagging at

one side of the door can often be corrected

by servicing the hinges. If a screw hole is

enlarged, replace the screw with a

longer one of the same diameter, and use

a hollow fibre plug, dipped in carpenters'

glue, with the new screw. If the wood is

cracked at a hinge, remove the hinge and

fill the cracks and the screw holes with

wood filler. Let the filler dry and then

replace the hinge. If possible,move the

hinge onto solid wood.

Check the springs. On swing-up doors,

the spring on each side is hooked into holes

or notches. To adjust the tension, move the

spring hook to the next hole or notch.

On roll-up doors, the spring

on each side is controlled by a spring cable on a

pulley. To adjust the tension of this type of spring,

pull the cable farther through the plate above the

door, and reknot the end to maintain the tension.

Caution: Do not try to repair a Spring or replace it.

The tension is so great that the spring could injure

you. For doors with this type of spring,

Broken Garage Door Repairs

Many of us actually don't think or actually realize

the hard work our Garage Door/s do. Lifting and

closing a large door every day, a couple of times

a day over and over again. Your garage door

Motor really doesn't do much work. Its is just a helper

to the real worker. The spring! Springs are used as

the door is lowered down. The springs are stretched

out and when it is time for the door lift its actually

the spring that is doing all the work For this

reason, most garage door Motors are only rated

at 750 - 1000 Newton units of power which is,

in fact, more than enough to help the springs do

their job. It doesn't take much power to lift up a

garage door that is being pulled up by a spring

that is under extreme tension or torsion.

How do garage doors work?

There are only two types of garage doors -

The Garage Doors that operate by tension

springs which in most cases are Single

sectional garage doors or Double Tip up

springs, and those that operate by torsion

springs which in most cases are double

sectional or caravan single sectional

.However,some company to use the torsion

system for standard single garage

doors.Tension springs look like normal

springs and are located on the left and

right sides of the garage door above the

horizontal tracks. As the

garage door will lower/close you will see

them stretch out and expand, and contract

as the garage door opens. Torsion springs

are the second type of garage springs -

they look like tightly coiled springs above

the garage door, and as the door

lowers or raises, they twist to contract or

expand. Most garage door fails due to but is

not limited together 3 reasons.

(1) A broken Spring

(2) Lack of maintenance

(3) A broken / faulty motor

Broken springs can be difficult to replace and

should not be attempted if you do nothave the

proper skills and tools because it

requires you to remove and replace high

tension springs under significant compression.

Replacing torsion springs

on a broken garage door

Torsion and tension springs require professional

replacement. Torsion springs are designed

to last for about 10,000 cycles, or about

8 -10 years of normal use. After that, you

are justwaiting for an accident to happen.

When a torsion spring breaks, you will often

hear a loud cracking or pinging sound,but you

may not notice it at all You may simply

notice that your garage door opens and

closed much more slowly than before

(assuming it is a double garage door with

2 springs - if it is a single door with

one spring, the door will not open or close

at all. Anyone asking for R4000.00

or more is ripping you off. When replacing

torsion springs, you do have to replace

both springs if you havea double garage

door, or a single spring if you have a single door.

Garage Door Maintenance

One way to avoid costly garage door repairs

is by regular maintenance. A garage dooris

a moving mechanical system, the largest

moving system in your home.

Therefore it requires professional attention

and maintenance. over time your garage door

can easily get out of alignment.

Garage Door Won't Open

Sometimes when your garage door won't open,

it is an even simpler explanation. You may need

to reprogram your remote or replace

the battery. Your electric garage openeris tuned

to the specific frequency and code of

your remote opener - if the code or

battery is messed up, the fix could be as

simple as an R50.00 battery. Start with the

battery when you do your diagnostic work

and proceed from there -- you will need to

inspect the springs if you suspect it

is a larger problem, but this is a simple

2-minute task. Broken springs

will be obvious, and the most telltale

sign is limited power and speed in opening

and closing the garage door. If the

motor does not respond at all after replacing

the remote battery and trying the manual switch,

it is most likely a problem with the

actual garage door opener motor unit, which

might require replacement R2500.00 - R3500.00

ABOUT GARAGE DOOR REPAIRS

There are three components to a garage door:

1)The door itself ( Alu-Zink / Wooden Panels )

2)The Garage door hardware

3) The motor for your Garage Door

In this section, we'll help you look, repair or prevent garage door problems

Garage doors operate on spring tension or torsion. The door moves on metal tracks on the garage walls, and a heavy spring or springs provide the power. In most cases when the door doesn't work easily, the springs are the cause, the springs are the most important and MOST DANGEROUS component and its always best to have a qualified "DoorTronix" technician repair, set or replace them for you.

Check the metal tracks inside the garage. Look at the mounting brackets that hold the tracks to the walls. If they're loose, tighten them. Working inside the garage with the garage door closed, examine the tracks for dents, crimps, or flat spots. If there are any damaged spots, pound them out with a rubber mallet, or with a hammer and a block of scrap wood. If the tracks are badly damaged, they should be replaced.

Check the tracks with a level to make sure they're properly aligned. Horizontal tracks should slant slightly down toward the back of the garage; the vertical sections of the track should be exactly plumb. Both tracks must be at the same height on the garage walls. If the tracks are not properly aligned, loosen but do not remove the screws or bolts that hold the mounting brackets, and tap the tracks carefully into position. Recheck the tracks with the level to make sure they're in the right position; then tighten the screws or bolts at the mounting brackets. Caution!!: DO NOT TRY THIS WITH A SINGLE GARAGE DOOR. THE SPRINGS ARE TENSION ARE GREAT

Clean the tracks with a concentrated household cleaner to remove dirt and hardened grease. Clean the rollers thoroughly, and wipe both tracks and rollers dry. Do not leave any soup inside the wheels or tracks, the soups are sticky and tend to collect dust and rust the bearings or metal parts

Lubricate both the tracks and the rollers using garage door lubricant spray or powdered graphite on the tracks, and household oil or silicone spray on the rollers. If there are any pulleys, lubricate them with the same lubricant you used on the rollers.

Check for loose hardware, and tighten as needed. On swing-up doors, check the plates where the spring is mounted to be sure the screws are tight and tighten any loose screws. On roll-up doors, check the hinges that hold the sections of the door together; tighten any loose screws, and replace any damaged hinges. Sagging at one side of the door can often be corrected by servicing the hinges. If a screw hole is enlarged, replace the screw with a longer one of the same diameter, and use a hollow fibre plug, dipped in carpenters' glue, with the new screw. If the wood is cracked at a hinge, remove the hinge and fill the cracks and the screw holes with wood filler. Let the filler dry and then replace the hinge. If possible, move the hinge onto solid wood

Check the springs. On swing-up doors, the spring on each side is hooked into holes or notches. To adjust the tension, move the spring hook to the next hole or notch. On roll-up doors, the spring on each side is controlled by a spring cable on a pulley. To adjust the tension of this type of spring, pull the cable farther through the plate above the door, and reknot the end to maintain the tension. Caution: Do not try to repair a Spring or replace it. The tension is so great that the spring could injure you. For doors with this type of spring, call Absolute Garage Doors

Broken Garage Door Repairs

Many of us actually don't think or actually realize the hard work our Garage Door/s do.

Lifting and closing a large door every day, a couple of times a day over and over again. Your garage door Motor really doesn't do much work. It is just a helper to the real worker. The spring!

Springs are used as the door is lowered down. The springs are stretched out and when it is time for the door lift it's actually the spring that is doing all the work

For this reason, most garage door Motors are only rated at 750 - 1000 Newton units of power which are, in fact, more than enough to help the springs do their job. It doesn't take much power to lift up a garage door that is being pulled up by a spring that is under extreme tension or torsion.

How do garage doors work?

There are only two types of garage doors - The Garage Doors that operate by tension springs which in most cases are Single sectional garage doors or Double Tip-up springs, and those that operate by torsion springs which in most cases are double sectional or caravan single sectional. However, some company to use the torsion system for standard single garage doors.

Tension springs look like normal springs and are located on the left and right sides of the garage door above the horizontal tracks. As the garage door will lower/close you will see them stretch out and expand, and contract as the garage door opens.

Torsion springs are the second type of garage springs - they look like tightly coiled springs above the garage door, and as the door lowers or raises, they twist to contract or expand.

Most garage door fails due to but is not limited to ether 3 reasons.

(1) A broken Spring

(2) Lack of maintenance

(3) A broken/faulty motor

Broken springs can be difficult to replace and should not be attempted if you do not have the proper skills and tools because it requires you to remove and replace high tension springs under significant compression.

Replacing torsion springs on a broken garage door

Torsion and tension springs require professional replacement. Torsion springs are designed to last for about 10,000 cycles, or about 8 -10 years of normal use. After that, you are just waiting for an accident to happen. When a torsion spring breaks, you will often hear a loud cracking or pinging sound, but you may not notice it at all

You may simply notice that your garage door opens and closed much more slowly than before (assuming it is a double garage door with 2 springs - if it is a single door with one spring, the door will not open or close at all

Anyone asking for R4000.00 or more is ripping you off. When replacing torsion springs, you do have to replace both springs if you have a double garage door, or a single spring if you have a single door.

Garage Door Maintenance

One way to avoid costly garage door repairs is by regular maintenance. A garage door is a moving mechanical system, the largest moving system in your home. Therefore it requires professional attention and maintenance. over time your garage door can easily get out of alignment.

Garage Door Won't Open

Sometimes when your garage door won't open, it is an even simpler explanation. You may need to reprogram your remote or replace the battery. Your electric garage opener is tuned to the specific frequency and code of your remote opener - if the code or battery is messed up, the fix could be as simple as an R50.00 battery. Start with the battery when you do your diagnostic work and proceed from there -- you will need to inspect the springs if you suspect it is a larger problem, but this is a simple 2-minute task. Broken springs will be obvious, and the most telltale sign is limited power and speed in opening and closing the garage door. If the motor does not respond at all after replacing the remote battery and trying the manual switch, it is most likely a problem with the actual garage door opener motor unit, which might require replacement R2500.00 - R3500.00
