- Broken Torsion Springs: snapped or worn-out springs that make the door too heavy to lift manually, or put excess strain on the motor.
- Derailed Tracks: fixing door panels that have popped out of alignment, or rollers that have slipped off the tracks.
- Motor Malfunctions: troubleshooting automated openers that open by themselves, click without moving, or need gear replacements.

Why Does My Garage Door Motor Click But Not Move?
This is one of the most common calls our Witbank technicians receive. A few likely causes, in order of frequency:
- Worn drive gear: many motors use a small nylon gear that wears down over years of use — it can strip completely, leaving the motor running with no movement.
- Tripped safety sensor: infrared beams near the floor can be knocked out of alignment by dust, insects or a knock, stopping the door mid-cycle for safety.
- Capacitor failure: an ageing capacitor can leave a motor with just enough power to click but not enough torque to lift the door.
- Disengaged trolley or chain: if the emergency release cord has been pulled, the motor will run without moving the door at all.
Avoid repeatedly pressing the remote, as this can burn out the motor’s circuit board. Call us on 062 420 1724 and we’ll talk you through a quick check before dispatching a technician.
Witbank FAQs
Common questions from Witbank and Ben Fleur customers.
My door bangs loudly and won’t lift — is that a spring?
A loud bang followed by a heavy door is the classic sign of a snapped torsion spring. Stop using the door and call us for a safe assessment.
Can a derailed track be fixed, or do I need a new door?
Most derailed panels and slipped rollers can be re-aligned without replacing the door, provided the track and panels aren’t badly bent or damaged.
My motor opens the door by itself at random — what’s wrong?
This is usually a remote control fault, interference, or a worn logic board. We can reprogram or replace the affected component on-site.
