Garage door repairs Adelaide.
B&D offers quality, reliable garage door repairs and maintenance services in Adelaide and South Australia.
A garage door that’s been made from good-quality materials and installed by a trained professional can last a lifetime if it’s properly maintained. Servicing your door is just as important as servicing your car.
Like the engine, your garage door is made up of several moving parts that lift and lower the door, so regular services will keep it in safe and functional working order. Ongoing servicing is also required to maintain your 10-Year Total Confidence Warranty.
No matter which garage door or motor you have, you should aim to have it serviced once in the first 12 months after installation and every two years thereafter.
Common garage door issues
Our Adelaide and regional South Australia repairers can fix some of the most common garage door problems, including:
-
Garage door stuck in open or closed position
At times, your garage door may not open or close properly. This issue, common in both sectional and roller doors, can be caused by obstructions in the tracks, broken springs, or frayed cables. This often requires an emergency repair.
-
Squeaking garage door
Your garage door may start to squeak due to insufficient lubrication, tracks that are not properly aligned, or aging rollers. This problem is seen in both sectional and roller doors. Regular maintenance of your garage door can help avoid these issues.
-
Non-responsive to the remote control
When your automated garage door doesn't react to the remote control, potential causes include sensors that are out of alignment, disruptions in the signal, or depleted batteries in the remote.
-
Broken garage door panel
Damage to a panel on your sectional garage door can occur from regular use or direct impacts. This damage can affect the door's functioning, making quick repairs essential.
-
Strange sounds from opener motor
If you hear odd noises coming from the motor of your automatic garage door, it's likely a sign of wear and tear or components becoming loose.
-
Bent garage door track
A track that is bent can cause your sectional or roller door to function poorly. This issue is often the result of a forceful impact or incorrect installation.
-
Opener motor is running non-stop
Your garage door's motor running non-stop may indicate a malfunction, or it could be due to improperly set limit switches.
-
Garage door is opening and closing slowly
A garage door that moves slower than usual may have issues with its motor, insufficient lubrication, or spring tension problems. This condition affects both sectional and roller doors.
-
Jammed or unmoving roller door
If your roller door is stuck and won't move, it may require an adjustment in spring tension. Blockages in the path or misaligned tracks are other common culprits.

What to expect at a garage door service
Lubricating the moving parts of the garage door, such as the chain drive, tracks, rollers, or cable drum. This helps your door operate smoothly and quietly.
Tightening the garage door's mounting points, including bolts, screws, cables, and connectors. This step maintains the stability of the garage door and its tracks, and it prevents the risk of parts coming loose from their mounting points.
Adjusting the spring tension is done to prevent 'spring fatigue' and to reduce stress on the opener, thereby decreasing the chances of future malfunctions.
Setting the opener's travel limits and force settings correctly ensures that the door opens and closes as intended, without causing harm to the door or the opener mechanism.
Evaluating and tuning safety features and accessories, such as safety beams, Auto-Lock, and Safe Lock (if they are installed), is also part of the maintenance process.
Inspecting the alignment of the garage door and identifying any irregularities in its operation is essential. If there are any major issues, they may need additional repair work, which will be quoted separately.
Emergency repair services
If you encounter any issues with your garage door or opener, we provide emergency repair services to quickly identify and resolve the problem, including replacing any damaged parts. Immediate action is often needed for common problems like doors that won't open or close, snapped springs, or doors off their tracks, as these can be serious safety risks. It's advisable not to try fixing these issues on your own.
Opener breakdowns, considerable damage from accidents or harsh weather conditions, and snapped cables or broken rollers also need prompt attention. These issues can stop your garage door from working safely and efficiently. Issues with locks and security systems, as well as electrical problems, are urgent matters that could compromise your home's security against break-ins.
If you're facing any of these urgent issues with your garage door, contact us on 13 62 63. Our experienced repairers in Adelaide and regional South Australia are equipped to handle these emergency garage door repairs, ensuring your safety and security.
Why you shouldn’t ignore a broken garage door spring or cables
Neglecting a damaged garage door spring or cables is risky and should be avoided. These parts are vital for the safe and correct operation of both sectional and roller garage doors. If they malfunction, it could jeopardise the entire mechanism and pose a safety hazard.
-
Broken garage door spring
Garage door springs, particularly in sectional doors, are under tremendous tension and are the workhorse of the garage door system. When a spring breaks, it can cause the door to become unbalanced or to stop operating altogether. The risks of ignoring a broken spring include damage to your vehicle, injury to anyone near the door, and damage to other garage door parts, which could lead to more extensive and costly repairs.
Tackling spring repair by yourself is never advisable due to the complex nature of both sectional and roller door systems and the potential for the spring to snap violently, which can result in severe injury. Our network of garage door professionals has the tools, knowledge, and experience to manage these dangers safely on sectional and roller door repairs.
-
Broken garage door cables
In sectional garage doors, the cables are integral to the mechanics of lifting and lowering the door. A broken cable can cause the door to come crashing down unpredictably, posing serious safety hazards such as bodily injury or property damage. Without the stability offered by intact cables, your sectional garage door is unreliable and unsafe for use.
Do-it-yourself repairs on cables pose a serious risk to personal safety due to the system's built-in tension. It's not just about having the right tools; understanding the intricacies of the door's counterbalance system is crucial, which is why cable repairs are best left to trained professionals who are equipped to handle the risks and ensure repairs meet safety standards.
