Springs & Cables in New Farm

Springs & Cables built for New Farm

The housing here is largely pre-war and character-protected, which means timber, tilt doors, and garages built under or beside a house that was never designed around a car. A tilt door is a different mechanism to a modern sectional — the pivot geometry, the counterbalance and the timber itself all age in ways a Colorbond panel door doesn't — and character overlays limit what a replacement door is even allowed to look like from the street. That local reality shapes how we approach springs & cables here. New Farm garages are mostly cut in under the house or reached off a rear lane, which means tight approach angles and custom widths rather than anything off a standard list. The character overlay dictates what the street sees, so timber-look and panel-profile doors do the work here. And the riverfront pocket went under in both 2011 and 2022 — under-house garages are the lowest point of the house, so they flood first and dry last, and the motors and wiring wear it.

In practice that means springs & cables in New Farm isn't a template job. The doors around here are typically single tilt doors under the house and off rear lanes, plus premium timber-look sectionals on renovations, and whether you're near New Farm Park or over towards Brisbane Powerhouse, we match the work to your actual door, its age and the way it's failing rather than a one-size approach.
