Signs to look for
What your door is telling you.
- Suddenly very heavy, or a loud bang. A spring has broken. Leave it shut or open and ring.
- Hanging lower on one side. A cable or spring has gone on that side.
- Grinding or squealing. Dry or worn wheels and pivots; a service usually cures it.
- An electric door reversing for no reason. Dirty photocells, a misaligned sensor or a door out of balance.
Questions about repairs
Is it dangerous to use a door with a broken spring?
Yes. The spring is what holds the door's weight; without it the door can drop. Leave it and ring us.
Do you repair roller and sectional doors?
Yes, most makes, including their motors and remotes.
Should I have the door serviced?
A yearly service for £69 lubricates, rebalances and safety-tests the door, and usually catches a tired spring before it breaks.
