Magnificent Garage Doors Puts Battery Backup Motors in Focus Before the Holidays

A garage door that will not open is a small problem on an ordinary weekday. In the middle of the festive season, with a car packed for a holiday trip or a house-sitter trying to get in, it becomes a much bigger one. Magnificent Garage Doors, which installs, automates and repairs garage doors across Pretoria and Johannesburg, is encouraging Gauteng homeowners to look at their garage door motors before the December break, with a particular focus on automation that includes battery backup.

The company supplies and installs a wide range of domestic doors with automation that includes battery backup, and it extends that same backup automation to gates as well as garage doors. For homeowners, that means the door can keep working when the power supply is interrupted.

Why the motor matters as much as the door

Homeowners usually spend a lot of time choosing the look of a new door and much less time thinking about the motor that lifts it. Yet the motor is what gets used several times a day, and it is the part most likely to cause frustration if it is underpowered, poorly fitted or without backup.

Magnificent Garage Doors offers several automation options on its website. These include the Magic Lift Plus garage door opener in 800N and 600N versions, the Magic Lift garage door opener rated at 1000N, the ET DC Blue Advanced roll-up motor kit, the SDO4 SMART motor for tip-up and sectional doors and the RDO II roll-up garage door motor. The right choice depends on the type and weight of the door, and the company's installers can advise on what suits each home.

Doors to match every home

Garage doors from Magnificent Garage Doors come in a range of materials and styles. Wooden doors made from Meranti can be fitted with glass panels and are laminated with water-resistant wood glue and dipped in oil before leaving the factory. Aluminium doors are available framed, frameless and cladded, with the option of 6.38mm laminated glass and aluminium composite cladding inserts, and are built with stiffeners for a longer lifespan.

Steel sectional Aluzinc doors are made from 0.5mm material of 55% aluminium and 45% zinc, making them more rust-resistant than galvanised steel, and are available in block and horizontal slatted designs in colours including white, charcoal, black, buffalo brown, stone grey and a wooden look. Roll-up doors made from 0.4mm Chromadek can be manufactured up to 3m high and 3m wide and can be automated. Alu-Fluted aluminium doors in 1.5mm material are maintenance-free and available in 110mm and 215mm broad fluted designs. The company also lists caravan-height garage doors among its services.

Installation by experienced teams

Garage door installation at Magnificent Garage Doors is carried out by installers with many years of experience, and the company states that quality workmanship is always guaranteed. Doors are supplied and installed in and around Gauteng and in certain parts of the Free State and Mpumalanga.

For homeowners replacing an old door before the holidays, fitting the door and the automation at the same time means one installation, one set of checks and a system that is ready to use before the family heads away.

Repairs before the break

Not every home needs a new door. Many simply need an existing one put right. Garage door repairs offered by the company include broken spring repairs, repairs to broken doors and general garage door servicing, as well as work on gate motors. Homeowners can use the enquiry form on the repairs page to describe the problem, choose whether they need a service, a spring repair or another repair, and say which area they live in.

Springs that have weakened, doors that jam halfway or motors that strain under load are all worth looking at before December. Once many trades close for the holidays, getting help can take longer.

A simple pre-holiday checklist

Before going away, homeowners can do a few basic checks on their own. Watch the door open and close fully a few times and listen for grinding or straining. Check that the door stops and reverses as it should. Make sure remotes have working batteries and that any spare remotes are accounted for. If the motor has battery backup, confirm that it still operates when the mains supply is switched off. Anything that does not feel right is worth having inspected by a professional before the house is left empty.

Single, double and everything in between

Every home is different, and so is every garage. Magnificent Garage Doors supplies single and double doors across its wooden, aluminium, Aluzinc and Alu-Fluted ranges, as well as single and double glass doors. Its latest designs include ten-panel double cladded doors in white and charcoal and a series of double aluminium and glass combination doors. The website includes galleries of single and double doors and a dimensions page to help homeowners understand what will fit their opening.

The aluminium doors can also be customised to a homeowner's preference, which allows the garage door to match the style of a newer home or a renovation. Because the garage door often makes up a large part of the front of a house, the right choice can change how the whole property looks from the street.

Competitive pricing is part of the company's offer, and homeowners can request a quotation through the website for a new door, automation or a repair.

Working hours

Magnificent Garage Doors is open Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm and is closed on weekends. Homeowners who want work done before the festive season are encouraged to get in touch early in November to secure a slot.
