Garage door repairs

  • Broken or frayed cables, doors that hang crooked or close skew
  • Doors that have come off their tracks, are bent or run on damaged tracks
  • Worn rollers, drums and bearings
  • Damaged panels and slats
  • Locks and handles that no longer hold
  • Motors, remotes and wall buttons that have stopped working
  • Flat or failing back-up batteries, blown fuses and electrical faults after a surge or lightning

Garage door servicing

A garage door that's serviced regularly lasts longer and costs less to keep running. Manufacturers recommend a service every at least once a year at home, and every three to six months on a busy commercial door. We check the balance and tension, lubricate the rollers, drums and tracks, tighten the fittings, and test the motor and its safety reverse.

Roller doors and sectional doors

We work on single and double roll-up doors in Aluzinc and Chromadek, sectional overhead doors, and older tip-up doors. Whatever the make, we'll tell you whether a repair will last or whether a new door is the better option.

Motor trouble?

If the door itself is fine but the motor isn't, we can repair that too. See the garage door motor repairs page for more information. We repair Centurion, DC Blue, Digidoor and Gemini motors.
