We repair these openers in PerthMaker’s website
ATA garage door openers are serviced and repaired across Perth by our technicians, from the residential EasyRoller on a home roller door to the Dave operator on a commercial opening. Most faults are limits, remotes, capacitors or gears, and commercial units in particular are usually worth repairing rather than replacing because of how they are rated.
Not a ATA? The full list of motor makes we work on around Perth covers the rest. Product details are on ATA’s own website.
Two Very Different Machines Under One Badge
ATA — Automatic Technology Australia — has been engineering openers here since 1978 and is now part of the B&D Group. Its range spans a long way: the EasyRoller is a residential roller door opener you would find on an ordinary suburban garage, while the Dave is a commercial operator built for doors that cycle dozens of times a day.
That split matters for repairs. A commercial operator is specified for a duty cycle, and it is almost always cheaper to repair one than to replace it, because the replacement has to meet the same rating. A residential unit is a more ordinary repair-or-replace calculation.
The faults are what you would expect. Travel and force limits drift; capacitors weaken so a motor hums without pulling; gears wear where a door's springs have gone soft; remotes lose their pairing or fill the memory, and our ATA remote programming guide covers re-coding one. On the commercial side, add wear from sheer cycle count — a workshop door that opens forty times a day is doing a decade of home use every year.

Fix or swap
Keep the ATA going, or retire it?
The same yardstick we use on our own openers. A repair comes first whenever the unit has life left in it.
Worth fixing if…
- It is a commercial operator — matching the duty rating again is expensive, and repairs are usually far better value.
- The fault is a limit, a remote, a capacitor or a gear kit — all standard opener repairs.
- The unit runs cleanly once the door is re-balanced.
- Parts are still available for the model, which for current ATA units they are.
Time to replace if…
- The board has failed on a residential unit that is no longer supported, and a new residential opener is the better spend.
- The drive is worn through after years on an out-of-balance door.
- A residential unit is being used at commercial cycle rates and keeps failing.
- The opener is underrated for the door it was fitted to.
Choosing the next opener
A new motor is sized to your door: roller, sectional or tilt, and how heavy it is. Most people end up with a belt drive for the quiet running, and most current units can be run from a phone as well as a remote. We take the old motor away.
Before it goes up, the door is balanced by hand. An opener dragging a badly tensioned door burns out early, so the springs get sorted first.

What sets the price on a ATA motor job
ATA work is priced on the unit and the fault. A residential limit re-set or remote is the light end; a gear kit or capacitor is the middle; a commercial operator rebuild or a replacement is the top, and duty-rated units cost more to replace than to repair.
Your quote depends on
- Residential opener versus duty-rated commercial operator
- Whether it is a setting, a wear part or the board
- Cycle count — a high-use door wears parts far faster
- Whether the door itself needs balancing first
