What causes a garage door to get stuck?

Common causes are worn rollers, a bent track, a broken spring or cable, or an opener fault. A technician needs to inspect the door to find the real cause.

Should I fix a garage door myself?

Garage doors are heavy and the springs are under high tension, so repairs are best left to a trained technician.

How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?

Signs include a loud bang from the garage, a door that feels very heavy, or an opener that strains and fails to lift the door.

Can I keep using the door with a broken spring?

It is not recommended. Stop using the door and call a technician.

Which type of garage door is best for coastal homes?

Salt air is hard on metal. Ask about coastal-suitable finishes and materials when choosing a door.

Can you fit an opener with a new door?

Yes. Ask us to arrange the door and opener together.

Why won't my garage door open with the remote?

Flat batteries, a lost remote pairing, misaligned sensors or a motor fault are common causes.

Should I repair or replace my opener?

It depends on the fault and the age of the unit. We can advise after inspecting it.

How often should a roller door be serviced?

Regular servicing helps catch wear early, especially near the beach. Ask us what suits your door.

Can a damaged roller door be repaired?

Often yes, but badly damaged curtains may need replacing.

What should I do if my garage door won't close?

Keep people and pets clear of the door and call a technician. Don't force it.

Can a sectional door be repaired?

Often yes. Individual panels, rollers, hinges and tracks can usually be repaired or replaced.

Why service a garage door?

Regular servicing helps spot worn parts before they fail, especially in coastal air.

Is a frayed cable urgent?

Yes. Stop using the door and have it inspected.

Can one panel be replaced?

Sometimes, depending on the door model and availability.

My remote stopped working. What now?

Check the battery first, then call us if it still won't work.

Why does my door reverse without touching anything?

Dirty or misaligned safety sensors are a common cause.

Repair or replace a motor?

It depends on the fault and the unit. We can advise after inspecting it.

Can my manual door be automated?

In many cases, yes. We'll check the door and recommend an opener.

Do you work with body corporates?

Yes. Call and tell us about the building and the fault.

Do you repair doors for businesses?

Yes. Call us with the door type and the problem.

Why is my garage door so loud?

Worn rollers, dry hinges, loose fittings or a failing opener are common causes.

Can I push the door back on the track?
