Automatic Garage Roller Door and Gate Motor

[GlassMirror]

So my sister recently bought a home and the property came with an automatic garage door and sliding gate with a Centurion motor.

Now I've tried to take a look at both motors and it seems like the previous owners didn't care much to maintain them. Is there possibly anyone who know's of someone or a contractor in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town who can come to take a look at both motors and possibly fix or replace them?

Centurion systems have an office in Bellville. Tried contacting them?

Replacing all shaft bearings and regreasing usually does the trick. But it's reparative service, not preventative maintenance.

Ive done a few gate motor services by replacing the bearings and grease where water got in...not a fun job.

Not looking forward to that job then, because I took a look at both motors and it seemed like some water did in fact get into the gate motor as it was placed at the bottom of a slope that didn't have any proper drainage.

Try and claim from household insurance due to water damage maybe?
