Like the engine, your garage door is made up of countless 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 longevity. Ongoing servicing is also required to maintain your 10-Year Total Confidence Warranty.
Regardless of the type of garage door or motor you have, you should aim to service it once in the first 12 months after installation and every two years thereafter.
Common garage door issues
Our professional Perth and regional Western Australia repairers can fix various garage door issues, such as:
-
Garage door stuck in open or closed position
At times, you might find your garage door stubbornly staying open or closed. This issue, common to both sectional and roller doors, could be due to obstructions in the tracks, broken springs, or malfunctioning cables. Emergency repair is often necessary in these cases.
-
Squeaking garage door
A garage door that makes squeaking sounds typically signals a need for lubrication, an adjustment of the tracks, or replacement of worn rollers. To prevent such problems, all types of garage doors should be serviced regularly.
-
Non-responsive to the remote control
If your automatic garage door doesn't respond to the remote, possible reasons include sensor misalignment, interference with the remote's signal, or depleted remote batteries.
-
Broken garage door panel
Damage like cracks or breaks in sectional garage door panels often results from everyday use or direct impacts. Ignoring this issue can compromise the door's functionality and security.
-
Strange sounds from opener motor
Unusual noises from the motor of your automatic garage door could suggest a need for replacing parts or tightening components. Our team is experienced in identifying and fixing these problems.
-
Bent garage door track
A bent track, affecting both sectional and roller doors, usually happens because of a significant impact or incorrect installation.
-
Opener motor is running non-stop
Non-stop running of your automatic garage door's motor typically indicates a malfunction or incorrect setting of the limit switch.
-
Garage door is opening and closing slowly
Slow operation of a garage door, whether sectional or roller, may be due to motor complications, lack of lubrication, or issues with spring tension.
-
Jammed or unmoving roller door
A roller door that refuses to move may require adjustment in spring tension, or it could be affected by obstructions or misalignment in the tracks.

Why you shouldn’t ignore a broken garage door spring or cables
Ignoring issues with a broken garage door spring or cables is risky and can be hazardous. These parts are essential for the safe and efficient operation of both sectional and roller garage doors. If they malfunction, they can jeopardise the entire system and pose a threat to your safety.
-
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.
