Garage Door Motors & Automation
Two Eazy Lift motors, both designed and developed for South African conditions, both NRCS certified. One for sectional doors, one for roller doors.
Roos garage door motors are our own Eazy Lift range, designed and developed for South African conditions. There are two: the Eazy Lift Mark II for sectional doors and the Eazy Lift Roller Door Motor, which is side fitted, for roller doors. Both carry battery backup, manual override and a one year guarantee.
The door decides the motor. Sectional doors take the Mark II, roller doors take the side fitted motor. There is no third option and no centre mounted motor in the range.
For sectional doors
Eazy Lift Mark II
Our own sectional motor, carried for years and now in its second generation. Mounts to the ceiling and drives the door on a rail.
- Universal receiver, compatible with most remotes to be programmed in
- Built in battery backup for load shedding and outages
- Fits aluminium and steel sectional doors, ours or anyone's
For roller doors
Eazy Lift Roller Door Motor
Our side fitted motor. It mounts to the side of the roller drum rather than overhead, and it is the only side fit motor we carry.
- Side fitted to the drum, not to the ceiling
- Roller doors only. It will not drive a sectional door
- Same battery backup and manual override as the Mark II
Which garage door motor do I need?
If you know how your door opens, you know which motor it takes.
| Your door | How it opens | Motor |
|---|---|---|
| Sectional | Panels hinged together, folding up and back along a ceiling rail | Eazy Lift Mark II |
| Roller | A single curtain rolling onto a drum above the opening | Eazy Lift Roller Door Motor |
| Aluminium or steel | Material makes no difference. Both our aluminium and steel ranges are sectional | Eazy Lift Mark II |
| Single or double | Size does not change the model. The motor is specified for the weight of the door | Either, matched to the door |
| An existing door | We automate doors we did not build, and replace failed motors of other brands | Whichever suits the door |
Standard on every Eazy Lift motor
These are not optional extras or an upgraded model. Every motor that leaves the factory has them.
The door keeps working through a power outage. In South Africa we do not take electricity for granted.
Disengage the motor and move the door by hand when you need to.
The motor detects resistance in the door's path and stops rather than pushing through it.
The door eases into motion and eases out of it, which takes load off the door and the motor.
Worth having when the garage shares a wall with a bedroom.
Comes on with the door and goes off on its own.
Extend the range or add a second point of control without changing the motor.
On the motor, from the factory that built it.
Every motor and its electronics assessed against the compulsory South African standard.
Can you automate my existing garage door?
Yes. We automate doors we did not build. The door needs to be running properly first, so if it is heavy, noisy or out of balance the service comes before the motor. A door that fights the motor will kill it.
Do I have to buy your remotes?
No. The Eazy Lift Mark II has a universal receiver, so remotes you already own can be programmed in. That is a deliberate design decision, not a limitation we tolerate.
What happens to my garage door during a power cut?
The motor runs off its built in battery backup. If the battery is flat, the manual override lets you disengage the motor and move the door by hand. Both are standard on both motors.
Do you have a centre mounted roll up motor?
No. We carry two motors, the Eazy Lift Mark II for sectional doors and the side fitted Eazy Lift Roller Door Motor for roller doors. Anything listing a third is out of date.
Are your garage door motors certified?
Yes. Every Eazy Lift motor is NRCS certified, which means the motor and its electronics have been tested and assessed against the compulsory South African standard before the certificate is issued.
How long does a garage door motor last?
Years, with minimal maintenance, provided the door itself is serviced. Most motor failures we are called out to are a symptom of a door that was never serviced rather than a fault in the motor.
Can I add a keypad or extra remotes later?
Yes. External receivers can be added to either motor, so you can extend the range or add a second point of control without changing the motor.
My motor has failed. Can you repair it?
Often, yes, including replacing a failed battery backup. We repair motors of other brands too. See repairs and servicing, or call your nearest branch.
