Newcastle NSW · repairs & new doors
The garage-door people who actually know steel.
A garage door is the biggest piece of moving steel bolted to your house. When the spring lets go or it jumps the track, you want someone who reads metal, tension and true tracks, not a call-centre. That's Foundry.
Not sure what's wrong? Run the Tension Check, two questions, a likely cause, the safe next step.
Two very different jobs
A snapped spring and a new door aren't the same call.
One's urgent and the car's trapped; the other's considered and worth measuring properly. Tell us which you're facing and we'll send it the right way.
Get it fixed
Door off the track, a spring gone with a bang, a frayed cable, an opener that won't drive, or a door stuck half-open with the car inside. Book a call-out and we'll get it moving safely again.
- Broken torsion & extension springs
- Snapped or frayed lift cables
- Off-track doors & worn rollers
- Opener / motor faults & safety beams
Measure & quote
Tired old tilt door, a renovation, or a new-estate garage that needs a door specified once and fitted right. We measure on site and quote the door, opener and colour to suit, no pressure, no surprises.
- New sectional (panel-lift) doors
- New roller & tilt doors
- Automatic openers & smart upgrades
- Colorbond colour-match to your roof
What we work on
Springs, cables, tracks, openers, and the whole door.
The trade's real work, in the trade's real language. Here's the shortlist, the full run is on the services page.
All services
Broken spring repair
The number-one urgent fault. A snapped torsion spring drops the door and leaves it too heavy to lift, replaced with the right rated spring, never a bodge.
Off-track & rollers
Re-railing a door that's jumped its track, worn or seized rollers, and bent or misaligned track put back true.
Openers & motors
Openers that won't drive, intermittent motors, dead remotes and safety-beam faults. New openers too, the mains wiring by a licensed electrician.
Cables & rebalance
Snapped or frayed lift cables, and a door that's gone heavy or noisy re-tensioned and re-balanced before the spring lets go.
New sectional doors
The dominant modern door, insulated panels, wide double openings, measured and colour-matched to the house.
Salt-air hardware check
Near the coast, springs and cables corrode faster. We look over the whole hardware set, not just the part that failed.
The signature tool
Not sure what's wrong? Run the Tension Check.
Answer two quick questions, what the door's doing, and where in Newcastle it lives, and the mechanism diagram lights up the likely fault zone. You get a plain-language read and the safe next step, then a straight path to a call-out or a quote.
It reads the where & why. It never diagnoses a fix or quotes a price.
Run the Tension CheckOne city, three door stories
Newcastle runs coast to bush, and so does what goes wrong.
Where a garage sits on that line changes the door, the hardware and the fault. It's the honest reason a Newcastle garage-door trade can't be one-size-fits-all.
Why "Foundry"
This city was built on steel. So is a garage door.
Newcastle spent a century casting, rolling and welding steel, the works, the port, a town of makers. A garage door lives or dies on the same things a foundry cares about: sound metal, true tracks, and tension held right.
So that's how we work. We name the parts properly, we get the balance right, and we don't call a snapped spring "a bit of a fault." It's a piece of steel under load, and it gets treated like one. Measured, not glossy. We'll have it running true.

The form's the channel
No number to ring around. Tell us what's going on through the form and it comes straight to us, we come back to line up the call-out or the measure.
Every price is on site
Faults are a call-out then repair; new doors are measure-and-quote. We don't post prices online because the door in front of us decides them. No "from $" games.
Licensed where it counts
Mechanical work by a qualified garage-door technician; any opener mains-wiring by a licensed electrician. The right trade for the right part of the job.
Brands, honestly
We work on most major Australian door and opener brands and can colour-match Colorbond, described plainly, no "authorised dealer" badges we haven't earned.
