Garage doors in Mangawhai

We come. Mangawhai Garage Doors was one of the three businesses that became Garage Door Group, so this is a home town rather than the outer edge of somebody else's map. Langs Beach, Kaiwaka and the rural blocks between them are covered on the same runs. You are not waiting for enough work to accumulate before someone will make the trip.

Within sight or smell of the water, usually yes. Salt-laden air is what ends garage doors here, and it attacks steel from the bottom panel upward where spray and standing water collect. Aluminium resists it far better and needs almost no maintenance. A few kilometres inland the argument weakens considerably and a COLORSTEEL sectional door is better value for the money.

Yes, and it is worth doing. A door that has sat unused for months behaves differently from one used daily: seals perish, hardware seizes and remote batteries die. We can service a door between seasons and pick up all three, which is considerably better than discovering them on the Friday afternoon you arrive with the car full and the family waiting.

Often, yes. On a sectional door an individual panel can usually be replaced and colour matched rather than replacing the whole door, which is a fraction of the cost. If the corrosion has reached the hardware, the tracks and the fixings as well, replacement is generally the better spend and we will say so rather than selling you a repair that buys you a year.

Wash the salt off it with fresh water reasonably often, paying particular attention to the bottom panel, the tracks and the fixings, which is where salt collects and sits. Lubricate the moving parts twice a year. That is the whole routine, it costs nothing but a few minutes, and on a Mangawhai door it is worth several years of extra life on both the door and its hardware.

Usually quickly, because we work here rather than visiting. If the door is stuck, will not close or has a broken spring, phone rather than emailing and tell us what it is doing, and we will get you into the run. A door that will not close is a security problem, particularly on a property that sits empty part of the year.
