Openers serviced & repaired in PerthOfficial Grifco site
Grifco commercial door operators are serviced and repaired across Perth by our technicians. These are duty-rated machines on warehouse, workshop and storage doors, and because replacing one means buying that rating again, a repair is almost always the better commercial decision — we quote both so the numbers are in front of you.

A Commercial Operator Is a Different Proposition
Grifco makes Australian commercial door automation — the Drive series covers everything from a modest roller shutter to heavy industrial openings, along with a fire shutter operator. These are not home openers with a bigger badge; they are duty-rated machines specified for a cycle count, and they are chosen by an engineer or a builder rather than picked off a shelf.
The practical consequence is that downtime, not purchase price, is the real cost. A loading dock that will not open stops deliveries; a workshop roller that jams at 7am stops a day's work. That is why we would rather see these on a service schedule than meet them for the first time as a breakdown.
Wear on a commercial operator is driven by cycle count more than by age. A door opening forty times a day accumulates in a year what a home door does in a decade, so limits drift, chains and sprockets stretch, brake assemblies wear and controls degrade on a predictable timetable. All of that can be caught before it costs a morning.

Repair or replace
Repair the Grifco, or put a new motor on?
Most call-outs end in a repair. Here is how we decide — and what we would say if it were our own garage.
Repair it when…
- The unit is duty-rated — replacing it means buying that rating again, so a repair is nearly always better value.
- The fault is a limit, a brake, a chain, a sprocket or a control.
- The operator is correctly sized for the door and simply needs wear parts.
- The site cannot afford the lead time a replacement would take.
Replace it when…
- The operator is undersized for the door's real cycle count and keeps failing.
- The drive has worn through and the parts cost approaches a new unit.
- A door upgrade has changed the weight or size the operator has to handle.
- Compliance obligations on a fire shutter cannot be met by repairing the existing drive.
If it is time for a new one
We fit belt-drive openers with soft start and stop, a safety reverse and phone control, matched to the weight and type of your door rather than to whatever is nearest to hand. The old unit goes with us, and the technician who quotes it is the one who fits it.
A motor is only ever as good as the door under it, so the springs and balance get checked and set before the new opener is trusted with the weight.
