Garage door repairs Brisbane.
Specialised garage door repairs throughout Brisbane and greater Queensland.
A well-installed garage door that’s been built with quality materials can last a lifetime if it’s correctly maintained and cared for. Servicing your door is just as important as servicing your car.
Like the engine, your garage door is made up of numerous moving parts designed to lift and lower the door, so consistent servicing not only keeps it in safe and functional working order but is essential to ensure its durability. Ongoing servicing is also required to maintain your 10-Year Total Confidence Warranty.
Regardless of 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.

What to expect at a garage door service
Apply lubricant to the garage door's moving components, including the chain drive, tracks, rollers, and cable drum, for a smoother and quieter functionality.
Ensure all the garage door's mounting points, bolts, screws, cables, and connectors are securely fastened to support its structural stability and prevent potential malfunctions.
Modify the tension of the springs to reduce wear and tear, thereby lessening the stress on the opener and lowering the likelihood of operational failures.
Correct the opener's travel and force settings to ensure the door operates as expected, helping to avoid any potential damage.
Inspect and calibrate safety mechanisms like safety beams and any installed Auto-Lock or Safe Lock systems for optimal performance.
Assess the garage door's alignment and overall functioning, identifying any anomalies; serious issues identified may require additional repairs and will be subject to a separate quotation.

Why you shouldn’t ignore a broken garage door spring or cables
Overlooking damaged springs or cables in your garage door is hazardous. These components are crucial for the secure and effective functioning of both sectional and roller doors. Their failure can threaten the entire system and pose a safety hazard.
-
Broken garage door spring
The springs in garage doors, especially sectional ones, bear significant tension and are key to the door's operation. A snapped spring can lead to an imbalanced door or complete operational failure. Ignoring a broken spring risks damage to vehicles, injury to people nearby, and harm to other parts of the garage door, potentially resulting in more extensive and expensive repairs.
DIY spring repair is highly discouraged due to the complexity and potential danger involved. Our network of experienced professionals is equipped with the necessary tools and knowledge to safely handle these repairs.
-
Broken garage door cables
In sectional garage doors, cables play a vital role in moving the door. A snapped cable can cause the door to fall unpredictably, presenting serious risks like injury or property damage. Without functioning cables, your garage door becomes unreliable and unsafe.
Attempting cable repairs yourself is risky, given the tension involved in the system. Professional repair is essential, as it's about more than just having the right tools; it's about understanding the door's counterbalance system. Our trained professionals are adept at managing these risks and ensuring repairs meet safety standards.
