What Gaven fixes
Stuck, snapped, noisy or just plain old.
Every service here is one that customers describe in their Google reviews or that shows up in the Abrams job photos. Homes, businesses and industrial sites.
Repairs, often the same day
Doors off their tracks, stuck open, not closing properly, or rammed by the car. Gaven explains what went wrong and fixes it on the spot where he can.
“He repaired and adjusted the door on the spot.”Brendan Williamson, Google review
Broken springs and cables
A snapped spring or a frayed cable stops a door dead. New springs fitted, often with a full service while he is there.
“within a few hours, they had a new set installed including a full service”Ben Terry, Google review
Motors and openers
Motor given up, or a belt snapped? Gaven replaces garage door motors, often the same day, and shows you how the new one works.
“had a new motor installed that afternoon”Jason Parker, Google review
- Spring tension checked“ensured the spring tension was in order”, Mitchell James
- Cables inspected“found a frayed cable”, Matthew Kunde
- Noise reduced“to reduce the noise”, Katie W
- Running smoothly“fixed and running smoothly”, Mark Jenner
Servicing and tune ups
A service quietens a noisy door and catches worn parts before they let go. One reviewer now recommends it every 12 months.
“even completed a service on the door to reduce the noise”Katie W, Google review
New roller doors
Supply and install for homes and sheds, and the job left clean and tidy.
“Replaced both my roller doors and left job clean and tidy.”Lindsay Hugill, Google review
Panel lift doors
Sectional panel lift doors as well as rollers. Glenn King’s would not open, and Gaven had it running again the next day.
“Door is running perfect again”Glenn King, Google review
Commercial and industrial too. The Abrams Facebook page says it services residential, commercial and industrial garage doors, and the Abrams scissor lift turns up for the tall ones.
Spring snapped before the school run. Door off its rails at 8:30 at night. Gaven still picks up the phone.
Based on the Google reviews of Jenni Groth and Kasandra Beasley.

Reviews
“I will never go anywhere else for anything garage door related in the future.”
Brendan Williamson said that. Here are 56 more Google reviews, word for word, with Gaven’s replies.
“Gaven & Angus were absolutely fantastic. Called them in the morning and they came around by lunch time same day to fix my broken garage door. They explained exactly what needed to be done, replaced everything on the spot, and even completed a service on the door to reduce the noise. They were extremely friendly & gave outstanding service. Completely recommend them!”
“What an amazing company to deal with. Gavin and his son came out today after calling yesterday and replaced the motor on my garage door. Prompt and efficient service at a great price. Would highly recommend Gavin to anyone needing garage door repairs/maintenance or new. Thankyou for your amazing customer service.”
“Fast response and quick installation. Gavin also found a frayed cable that I hadn't seen and was able to replace it as well. Reasonable prices too. Highly recommend.”
“My garage door was making some pretty wild noises , Gavin had it fixed and running smoothly at a reasonable price.”
“Same day service, extremely professional and friendly. Could not fault at all”
“Gavin came today to fix my garage door and did an excellent job. He was very professional, punctual, and clearly knew what he was doing. The quality of his work was outstanding, and he made sure everything was working smoothly before leaving. He also charged a very reasonable price, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend Gavin if you need someone reliable and skilled for garage door repairs!”
“Excellent service from start to finish. Gaven was reliable, honest and knowledgeable about garage roller doors. He arrived on time, clearly explained the issue and options. He completed the work in a timely manner with no hidden surprises. It is refreshing to deal with a local business that takes pride in their workmanship and puts the customer first. I highly recommend and I will be using Abram's Garage Doors again.”
“We were stuck at home the other day when my wife and kids were about to leave for school and work. The garage wouldn’t open completely, so I had to forcefully open the door, which made the situation worse.
I had to cancel all my appointments to find someone who could help fix the garage door. I called around, but no one else could come as urgently needed until I called Abram Garage Doors. Gaven answered, but he was at another job at the time and couldn’t come until later.
Gaven was able to temporarily close the garage so I could leave the house. He then went to get the parts needed to fix the garage door, which he did on the same day after a few hours.
Gaven is a professional and a local man with a good heart. He will come to you as soon as possible to get your garage door fixed and fairly priced. Our garage door now opens and sounds brand new again, much better than it was before.”
“Great service quick and affordable! Will only be using Abrams in the future!!!”
“I called Gaven, on a Tuesday afternoon, re my faulty garage door. Gaven was extremely generous with his time/knowledge/advice and nil 'sales pressure'. We decided to replace the motor rather than try and fix the issue. By 11am the next day, my garage door was fixed. I recommend you call Gaven re any issues with garage doors..... Thank you again!! Cecelia Baron”
“Gaven saved the day! First thing in the morning my garage door decided to be a pain. He was able to attend within an hour and get it all sorted and back in working order. What I thought was going to be a pain to sort out was made so easy by gaven. Highly recommend!”
Reply from Gaven: Thank you. Glad I could help ☺️
“We rang Gaven and within 5 minutes he was here! Amazing! He reset the garage door to work again and then offered to service the door. We took up the offer, he was done in about 20 minutes. Garage door fixed and working perfectly 👌 Genuinely amazing bloke, down to earth, helpful quality tradesman. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”
“If I could give 10 star I would have given him.I accidentally rammed the garage door. I came after work, was too tired, instead of pressing break , I accidentally pressed accelerator.
I was so scared, as I made a mistake. I started looking on facebook to see who will come on a saturday.
I gave Gaven a call and he came within 1 hour .He fixed the door like a pro. I found him down to earth, very humble man.I dont have words to thanks him, who came, nothing less than a rescuer.
You do an excellent job Gaven. He is a veteran, and a true Aussie by heart. Very professional yet the best service.If anyone looking for garage door related things, he is your man.Will give hin 10/10.
God bless you Gaven for your big heart, and for helping others.

“Our garage door went off the rails at 6:30 pm on a Friday night and was stuck open. In a panic I looked up garage door repairers and found Gaven from Abrams Garage Doors. Gaven was prompt, friendly, professional and expertly assessed and rectified the situation. I was extremely impressed and thought his fee was great value for money. I would absolutely recommend Gaven and Abrams Garage Doors to all garage door owners for 12 monthly maintenance, repairs and emergencies like ours. As I found out get the maintenance and hopefully avoid the emergencies.”

Abrams Garage Doors 😊
“I was having issues with my roller door that was just out of warranty from a different company, they wanted to charge a fortune just to come have a look at it. I called Abrams Garage doors instead. They turned up the next day to check it out for me. Gavin found the problem in no time at all. He explained exactly why it was having issues, being it wasn't installed correctly. He repaired and adjusted the door on the spot. Gavin gave me the bill and I can say I was more than happy with what he charged.
The work was excellent as my garage door now works better after He fixed it then the day it was installed. I give Gavin 5/5 stars, and can't recommend him enough. I will never go anywhere else for anything garage door related in the future.”
