What Our Customers Say
Extended FAQ – Everything You Need to Know
Are Grifco motors only for commercial settings?
Primarily, yes. However, some light commercial Grifco models like the LR-Drive are well-suited to large or premium residential setups. They’re ideal for strata buildings or homes with high garage usage or multi-bay garages.
How long does it take to install a Grifco motor?
Standard installations can be completed in a day, but complex integrations (e.g., with fire systems or access control) may take longer. We provide exact timeframes during our initial assessment based on motor type, building layout, and automation scope.
Can Grifco doors be scheduled to open/close automatically?
Yes. Grifco openers support timers and remote programming. With compatible building management systems or myQ, you can set daily open/close times, link access to alarms, and manage doors remotely from any device.
What power supply is required?
Most Grifco units require standard 240V, but higher-end models may need 3-phase power. We assess your site and ensure compatibility. In cases where electricity supply is limited, we explore solar backup options.
Are Grifco products made in Australia?
Grifco designs are engineered to meet Australian Standards and are manufactured by the Chamberlain Group, known for strict quality control and local support through certified partners like Garage Door Solutions.
Do Grifco motors come with warranties?
Yes. Most Grifco units include a 2–5 year manufacturer warranty depending on the model and usage. Garage Door Solutions also provides a 10-Year Labour Warranty on all installations for added peace of mind.
What’s the expected lifespan of a Grifco motor?
With regular servicing, Grifco motors can last upwards of 15 years, even in heavy-use settings. Their industrial-grade components are built to endure extreme environments and constant operations.
What happens if the system fails during a power cut?
Manual override chains allow doors to be operated manually. Battery backups and UPS (uninterruptible power supply) are also available for critical facilities such as hospitals or secured data centres.
Is regular servicing required by law?
Yes, for many commercial and industrial properties, compliance with safety regulations and insurance policies requires documented maintenance of automated door systems. This is particularly critical for fire-rated doors and emergency exits.
How do I get started with a Grifco opener?
Simply contact Garage Door Solutions. We’ll arrange a no-obligation inspection, provide a tailored quote, and handle all aspects of installation, integration, documentation, and aftercare for your Grifco motor.
