Garage Door Down? We'll Get You Up & Running

GD Repair • January 6, 2024

Prompt service is essential when your opener starts acting up, resistance when opening/closing, moves erratically or stops working completely. We have expansive expertise in repairing all opener brands and models including:

●      Chain, belt and screw drive repair

●      Motor and gearbox fixes 

●      The circuit board and wiring repairs

●      Sprocket, pulley and bearing replacement

●      Push button/remote troubleshooting

●      Adjustment of motion sensors and safety devices

Whether you need a tune-up, part replacement or full opener overhaul, our technicians can quickly diagnose the issue and conduct reliable repairs so your automatic opener runs smoothly once more.

Off-Track Garage Door Repair

Garage doors ride along metal tracks to open and close. If the door edges come out of alignment with tracks or the tracks sustain damage, the operation grinds to a halt. Quick action prevents worsening, so call us right away for: 

 

●      Precision realignment if your door edges shift from tracks

●      Track straightening if bending is hindering smooth travel

●      Rollers/brackets tightening if entry/exit of tracks is the culprit 

●      Cable-balanced re-threading to rectify diagonal door travel

●      Full track replacement if existing tracks are damaged beyond repair

 

With precise adjustments and replacements where necessary, we’ll have your garage door travelling correctly inside tracks for safety and convenience.

DIY Garage Door Repairs to Avoid

While some local garage door repairs like lubricating rollers look simple for DIY, certain components contain high tension and pressure. Meddling without know-how can cause injury - and likely intensify any problems.

 

  1. Garage Door Springs: The immense tension load makes spring repairs dangerous if mishandled.

 

  1. Garage Door Cables: Frayed or broken cables can unleash lethal tension if released incorrectly.

 

  1. Garage Door Sections: Attempting realignment without securing appropriately risks more damage.

 

  1. Garage Door Openers: Internal opener components are complex and contain live circuits.

 

For your safety, have our veteran technicians handle hazardous local garage door repairs. We implement rigorous safety procedures during all services.

 

You will know all costs before green-lighting repairs. And if the total exceeds the estimate, we obtain your approval first. Contact us for more cost transparency details. 

 

If you suspect an issue with your garage door system anywhere in Kent, Essex or East London, don’t let it linger.
