Easylift garage doors no longer sells wheels or castors as this part of the business has now been sold. I'm sure that the staff are very professional as the GGM took the time to let me know that the sold part of the wheels business is called; LIFTEASY.

Automatic door motor in warranty is not stopping and is causing a fault. Called today to inquire about it and was told that's not covered under warranty and that will be $140 for them to come out! Was told when i brought it any problem with the motor it has a 5 year would be covered under warranty. Clearly not!
