Our Core Garage Door Services in St Ives
Garage Door Spring Repairs & Replacements
Garage door springs are under massive tension—they're the workhorses that lift your door every single day. When they snap (and trust us, they do), your door won't budge. We carry high-quality torsion and extension springs on the van, so most spring replacements in St Ives are done the same day. Whether you've got a single-panel door in a heritage home or a double-roller door in a modern family residence, we'll get it sorted fast.
Garage Door Motor & Opener Repairs
If your garage door remote stops working, the motor's grinding, or the door opens halfway and gives up, you've likely got a motor or opener issue. We service and repair all major brands—B&D, Merlin, ATA, Gliderol, and more. Scott carries common motors and parts, so if your opener's toast, we can often replace it the same day. No waiting around for weeks while your car sits in the driveway.
Roller Door Repairs & Panel Replacements
Bent panels, damaged slats, jammed tracks—roller doors cop a beating, especially in family-heavy suburbs like St Ives, where multiple cars are coming and going daily. We repair and replace damaged panels, fix misaligned tracks, and service roller mechanisms to get your door running smoothly again. If it's beyond repair, we'll give you honest advice and a fair quote for replacement.

Reviews St Ives
What St Ives & North Shore Locals Are Saying
While no contractor is perfect, our goal is 100% satisfaction on every project. We encourage new clients to read all our 90+ reviews and see our long-term commitment to quality.
James Vavouris – North Shore
"Our garage door motor went out and caused the coils to unravel, and the door got jammed and was crooked, and we couldn't close it. Scott turned up the next morning and quickly had it straightened, and knew the problem was a weak motor installed previously by someone else. He recommended a stronger motor, and it now runs smoothly and quickly, and he replaced the coils as well. We need 5 remotes, and he also has spares. Highly recommend Scott if you're looking for help with your Garage Door problem."
Nigel Cunningham – Northern Beaches
"Have to say Scott was amazing. This was our second interaction, first at home and now at Dad's. Scott worked within our limitations as we were not able to be there. Made sure our needs were well and truly met."
Karen Mills – North Shore
"Scott and his team did a fabulous job removing and installing a new garage door for my parents. I was impressed with their ability to manage coordinating this work remotely through me, and for my father to say they were very impressive and hard-working builders says a lot. A very professional business. Thank you."
Sean Mitchell – Northern Beaches
"Great job, and picked up the issue that others completely missed. Highly recommended!"
P T – North Shore
"Overall, a smooth and hassle-free experience. From quoting, measurement to installation, Scott and his team are great at what they do. Communications were prompt and effective. Pricing was significantly better than the other quotes I got. Installation was smooth, and my new garage door operates flawlessly. Could not be happier. Highly recommended!"

LOCAL LOVE LETTER SECTION
Proudly Serving St Ives Since 2004
There's something special about St Ives that makes it one of the North Shore's most sought-after family suburbs. The tree-lined streets, the sprawling family homes, the excellent schools, the parks and bushland reserves, the genuine sense of community. It's the kind of place where neighbours know each other, where kids ride bikes to the local shops, where the same families live for decades.
After 20 years of repairing garage doors across St Ives, we've become woven into the fabric of this community. We've fixed doors in original family homes from the 1970s and 80s—solid brick homes with generous blocks and double garages that have seen generations of kids grow up. We've installed modern Colorbond roller doors in newly renovated properties. We've replaced motors in homes where the original opener has been faithfully lifting the door every morning for 25 years.
We know the local characteristics that make St Ives garage door work unique. The suburb's hilly terrain means many properties sit on sloped blocks, which affects garage door installation and spring tension calibration. The surrounding bushland—while beautiful—means garage doors here often deal with leaf litter, gum debris, and the occasional curious possum investigating the mechanism. The larger family homes common in St Ives often feature double or even triple garages, requiring more complex spring systems and more powerful motors.
We understand that St Ives properties often have longer driveways, heritage sandstone retaining walls, and established gardens that require careful access planning when we're bringing in equipment. We know that many homes here have been lovingly maintained by the same families for decades, and when we're working on your garage door, we're working on a home filled with memories.
Every time we pull up to a St Ives job—whether it's in the streets near St Ives Shopping Village, the quiet family crescents around St Ives Park, or the properties backing onto bushland reserves—we're reminded why we love working in this suburb. You're not just another address on a spreadsheet. You're someone's family home. Someone's sanctuary. And when we leave, we want you to feel like you got honest, reliable service from blokes who genuinely respect what your home means to you.
That's what keeps us going. That's what's kept us in business for over two decades. And that's what we'll keep doing for as long as St Ives families need their garage doors fixed.
The Technical Side: Why Garage Doors Fail in St Ives (And How We Fix Them Properly)
Most people don't think about their garage door until it stops working. But understanding a bit about how these systems operate can help you spot issues early—and avoid being stuck with a car trapped in the garage on a Monday morning.
The Anatomy of a Garage Door System
A typical residential garage door in St Ives consists of several key components: the door panels (sectional, roller, or tilt), the spring mechanism (torsion or extension springs), the track and roller system, the motor and opener, and the safety mechanisms. Each part has a specific role, and when one fails, the whole system can become unsafe or inoperable.
Australian Standards & Compliance (AS/NZS 4024.1)
All garage door installations and repairs in Australia must comply with AS/NZS 4024.1, which sets out safety requirements for powered doors and gates. This includes mandatory safety features like auto-reverse mechanisms (if the door detects an obstruction, it reverses), emergency release systems (so you can manually open the door if the power fails), and edge protection devices on commercial doors.
When we repair or replace garage door components in St Ives, we ensure full compliance with these standards. If your door was installed before these regulations were tightened, we'll often recommend upgrades to improve safety—especially if you have young kids or pets.
Why Springs Fail (And Why You Shouldn't DIY the Fix)
Garage door springs are under extreme tension—they're designed to counterbalance the weight of the door, which can be 80–150kg or more for a double door. Torsion springs (the ones mounted above the door) typically last 10,000–15,000 cycles, which translates to roughly 7–10 years for an average household. When they snap, they do so with considerable force, which is why DIY spring replacement is genuinely dangerous.
We use high-tensile steel springs rated to Australian conditions, and we calibrate the tension precisely to match your door's weight. Get it wrong, and the door either won't lift properly or become a safety hazard.
St Ives-Specific Considerations
St Ives' geography—hilly terrain, sloped blocks, and proximity to bushland reserves—creates unique challenges for garage door systems. Properties on steep inclines require careful spring calibration and motor selection to handle the additional gravitational load. Homes near bushland areas may experience more frequent debris accumulation in tracks and sensors, requiring regular cleaning and maintenance.
The larger family homes typical of St Ives often feature double or triple garages, which means more complex spring systems, heavier door panels, and motors that need sufficient power to handle the increased weight. These factors all influence repair costs and part selection.
Motor & Opener Technology
Modern garage door motors are light-years ahead of the old chain-drive units from the 1990s. Today's belt-drive and screw-drive systems are quieter, more reliable, and often come with smartphone connectivity and battery backup. We work with all major brands—B&D, Merlin, ATA, Gliderol—and can advise on the best opener for your St Ives property's door type, usage frequency, and budget.
When we install or replace a motor, we ensure it's correctly programmed, safety sensors are aligned, and the auto-reverse function is tested multiple times. It's not just about getting the door to open—it's about making sure it's safe for your family.

Frequently Asked Questions About Garage Door Repairs in St Ives
Q: How long does a typical garage door repair take in St Ives?
A: Most repairs—spring replacements, motor swaps, panel fixes—are completed within 2–4 hours on the same day. More complex jobs, like full track realignment or custom panel orders for heritage properties, may take longer, but we'll give you a clear timeframe upfront so you can plan your day accordingly.
Q: Do you charge a call-out fee to come to St Ives?
A: No. We don't charge call-out fees anywhere across the North Shore, including St Ives. You only pay for the repair work we quote and complete. If we come out, diagnose the issue, and you decide not to proceed, there's no sneaky fee tacked on. Fair pricing, honest service—that's how we operate.
Q: Can you work on larger garages in St Ives (double or triple doors)?
A: Absolutely. St Ives homes often feature larger garages, and we've got extensive experience working on double and triple door setups. These systems require more robust springs, more powerful motors, and precise calibration, but we handle them regularly. We carry the parts and have the expertise to get even the largest doors working smoothly.
Q: What brands of garage doors and motors do you service in St Ives?
A: We service and repair all major brands: B&D, Merlin, ATA, Gliderol, Panel Lift, Boss, Centurion, and more. If it's a garage door or motor sold in Australia, we've worked on it. We carry common parts for the most popular brands on the van, which means faster repairs and less waiting around for St Ives customers.
Q: My St Ives garage door is really old—should I repair it or replace it?
A: Great question, and the honest answer is: it depends. If the door's structurally sound, the frame's in good nick, and the issue is just a worn spring or faulty motor, a repair is almost always the smarter, cheaper option. But if the door's rusted through, the panels are cracked, or it's failed multiple times in the past year, replacement might make more sense long-term. We'll give you honest advice either way—we're not here to upsell you.
Q: Do you offer warranties on parts and labour for St Ives jobs?
A: Yes. Garage door warranties in Australia vary by manufacturer and product. Common warranties range from one to 10 years for components and workmanship, with some manufacturers offering up to 15 years for complete packages. Key components like openers, springs, and surface coatings often have separate, shorter warranty periods. We'll always explain what's covered and what maintenance is required to keep the warranty valid.
Q: Can you install a motor on my existing manual garage door in St Ives?
A: In most cases, yes. We've motorised hundreds of manual doors across St Ives and the wider North Shore. As long as the door's in reasonable condition and the track system is sound, we can fit a motor and remote system. It's one of the best upgrades you can make—especially if you've got a steep driveway or you're tired of getting out of the car in the rain to lift the door manually.
