New “Timber Look” Garage doors added to our range!

Are you looking for a ‘Wood look’ or ‘Timber look’ door that really does look like wood, is designed to last and won’t break the bank.

Sectional doors manufactured using genuine timber, whilst spectacular looking, require expensive and frequent restoration and maintenance during their lifetime.

There are many products on the market within the garage door industry, which attempt to replicate the natural look of timber. The demand for sectional garage doors with a natural timber looking finish is strong, as customers attempt to match the other wooden features of their house. Choosing the right product is essential and can be the difference between when seeking that nice balanced curb appeal.

‘Wood Look’ or ‘Timber Look’ sectional garage doors are made out of a number of products. The most common ‘Timber Look’ garage doors are made from steel. In Australia the most common range of ‘Wood Look’ doors are made from Colorbond Steel and come in a limited range of colours. Some company’s offer a custom variation to this product through specialised powder coating treatments, which enable them to provide a wider variety of timber colours.

Unfortunately, Colorbond and other steel ‘wood look’ doors suffer from ‘oil canning’, panel fatigue and provide no thermal protection in summer or winter.

Other products including wood composite material, which is made up of materials such as rubber, wood chips and other recycled materials can also provide an effective ‘Timber Look’ finish. Some custom door manufacturers like Danmar Garage Doors even offer a unique Aluminium Timber Look door. However, these products are considerably more expensive as a rule.

At Dynasty Garage Doors we believe we have finally found a product that not only provides a genuine timber looking finish, but it comes with a number of other benefits not seen in other ‘wood look’ or ‘timber look’ doors on the market. The best part about this product for our customers is that it is considerably less expensive than real timber doors and comparable in price to the customised steel ‘wood look’ finishes on the market.

Within Danmar Garage Doors ‘Thermopanel’ range is a product called ‘Thermofine’. Danmar Garage Doors offers two stunning ‘Timber Look’ finishes ‘Dark Oak’ and ‘Light Oak’. As can be seen in the pictures of some recently installed doors, the smooth panels lift the profile of the timber pattern on these doors, providing the appearance of a genuine wood feature from a distance.

But the benefits of this door don’t stop at the superb timber looking finish. This European product is the highest quality insulated door available on the market in Australia. With outstanding thermal benefits, a high fire rating and a clean finish to rear of the panels, the ‘Thermofine’ insulated garage door by Danmar Garage Doors is the complete package.

The ‘Thermofine’ woodlook door in ‘Dark Oak’ and ‘Light Oak’ by Danmar Garage Doors ticks all the boxes for quality, style and value.

• The highest quality insulated panel door available in the Australian market
• Tougher than Colorbond and other steel woodlook doors
• Smooth finish resulting in a genuine ‘Woodlook’ appearance
• European design and manufactured
• Fire rated

This door is by far the best value for money ‘Wood Look’ or ‘Timber Look’ door on the market.

Is Your Garage Door Secured?

If you are like the majority of Australian’s, your homes major point of entry is likely through your garage door. Visiting customers who rarely open their front door is common feedback received by our team of experienced technicians.

With advancements in technology becoming more and more common, it is becoming increasingly evident to us that having a reliable operating garage door is not the only critical issue when reviewing the suitability or condition of your garage door or roller door.

The shocking reality is that many of the older garage door openers and the new cheap imported garage door motors currently being used in Australian households are susceptible to security threats that may cause them to operate without your intent. Many of the cheap imported motors use technology that is seriously outdated and prone to interference.

Random Wireless Device Interference with your Garage Door

“My Garage Door just opened by itself” Unfortunately this is a growing trend amongst customers with older model garage door openers or cheap imported brands. With the boom in home wireless devices such as doorbells, baby monitors and the myriad of other devices using this technology, older garage door openers are increasingly susceptible to interference from external signals.

Sometimes the interference from these devices only causes the garage door opener to stop responding to remote controls. However, if the receiver on the garage door motor becomes confused and responds to signals from these devices then the garage door motor may randomly open and close.

Code-grabbing technology

Unfortunately, the criminal elements of our community are finding new ways to break into our homes. Although not frequently used, the availability of ‘Code-Grabbing’ scanners to would be criminals is major threat to remotely operated devices such as garage door openers.

If the signal being transmitted by your garage door remotes can be copied, then it can be replicated. Which means in theory, anyone with the appropriate technology can make a copy of your garage door remote and use it to operate your garage door motor.

Choose a Garage Door Motor brand with proven integrated Security

Reputable Garage Door motor manufacturers such as ‘Chamberlain Merlin’ use patented coding technology which cannot be copied. This patented technology eliminates the prospect of ‘Code Grabbing’ and external device interference, thereby ensuring that the control of your garage door motor is always controlled by your chosen remote device.

At Dynasty Garage Doors we choose only those brands with proven and secure technology. Our customers can be assured that their security is our top priority. Choose from our wide range of secure sectional garage door motors or roller door motors as well as our manufacturers mobile/app-based security products.

Garage Door Motors- Is it time to repair or replace your motor?

A faulty sectional door opener or roller door opener is not just an inconvenience but a likely safety issue for you and your family. At Dynasty Garage Doors we assist our customer repair and replace a wide range of garage door openers and garage door motors.

Once one of our expert team members diagnoses the problem, our clients are often left with a decision to make. Do they get their current sectional or roller door motor repaired or do they ask us to replace it with a new quality garage door opener?

Often, this decision is not an easy one to make. Although repairing your garage door motor may be less expensive, the long-term running costs of that garage door opener may be significantly more expensive. At Dynasty Garage Doors, we provide our clients with all the facts and likely scenarios of either decision.

The fundamental question – What caused the damage?

Reputable garage door motor manufacturers use parts rated to handle the loads and stresses of standard operating conditions. When one of these components fails, simply replacing it seems to be the logical solution, and a practice most commonly used within the garage door industry.

However, on many occasions the damaged caused to a garage door motor is the direct result of a malfunction or damage to a separate component of the garage door opener.

As an example, it is standard practice within the garage door industry to replace broken drive gears. On the surface this would appear to be a perfectly logical solution. Unfortunately, this easy fix often masks the real cause of the damage. Drive gear damage is often caused by failing limit switches or malfunctioning circuit boards. The excessive loads placed on the drive gear mechanism due to other damaged garage door motor parts is the most common cause of these drive gear failures.

Causes of Garage Door Motor Issues

Natural corrosion and weathering is another root cause of garage door motor failures. Many garage door motors rely on limit switches to stop the drive mechanism at the open and close points of the garage door. When these limit switches become corroded their operation can be significantly compromised to the point where it becomes impossible to control the exact closing and opening limits.

Similarly, corrosion to the circuit board, which is the brain of the garage door motor, can cause numerous operating issues. Much like we rely on a healthy brain to function normally, the garage door motor relies on a functioning circuit board (control board) to control all aspects of its operation. Although a failing circuit board presents as an obvious operating issue, this is not always the case. Memory issues on the circuit board can cause it to forget limits, power settings, coded remotes and other key functions.

All of these components are intrinsically linked and can impact one or the other. Replacing one component will not always fix the real underlying issue. The cost of replacing all of these components will more often than not exceed the cost of replacing the entire garage door motor.

Repairing garage door motors can quite quickly become a short-term fix ‘v’ long term costs equation that is worthy of serious consideration. Fundamentally, unless a repair to your garage door motor is guaranteed to work for a significant amount of time and warrants the possibilities of other component failures, then the net repair costs and inconvenience are likely to rise over time.
