Looking at two single garage doors which are next to each other (but open into one double garage).

Currently not automated at all. (you have to open and close them by lifting them up and down with your hands).

To fit automatic motors onto both doors, what should we be paying, including labour?

What about for just one of the doors?

Thanks!

:)

I bought mine from these guys shttp://sagaragedoors.co.za/
Single Meranti tip-up door R4950.00
Motor R2100.00
including installation, beginning 2013.

That's pretty cheap. We already have the doors :)

Cost price for ET tip up motor (each) +/- R 1600 x 2 = R3200

Labour = R1000 - 1500 per door (probably and depends on area)

Total = R5000-R7000 all inclusive

We found a place to do it for 4500 for both doors. Going halvies with the landlord (we're still renting).

Not too shabby.
