Garage Doors
Service for every door
The pages in this section describe real work, not slogans: which parts we measure, what we replace and why, how we test the door afterwards. Use them to understand your options before we talk.
Repair & Maintenance
Most garage door problems are small parts that gave up after years of cycles.
Garage Door Safety InspectionOn bright afternoons the door goes down a metre, stops, and climbs back up while the light on the opener blinks.
Garage Door Tune-UpSince the first cold snap the door has been sluggish.
Off-Track Garage Door ResetThe morning after a thaw the opener groaned, the door stayed stuck to the icy floor for a second, then lurched up crooked.
Garage Door Panel ReplacementRust has crept along the bottom edge of the lowest section.
Garage Door Bottom Seal ReplacementOne end of the bottom seal has slipped out of its channel and hangs down like a loose shoelace.
Garage Door Perimeter WeatherstripThe bedroom over the garage is always the cold room, and standing in the garage you can feel why: a steady draft along the door edges that moves the cobwebs on the wall.
Garage Door Manual Lock RepairThe outside handle wobbles in your hand and the inside knob spins round and round with nothing attached.
Springs & Hardware
Cold snaps take a toll on springs already near the end of their life.
Garage Door Roller ReplacementHalfway up, the door hesitates and the opener strains before it carries on.
Garage Door Hinge ReplacementPressing a hand against one of the middle hinges makes it rock on the panel.
Garage Door Track Repair or ReplacementAfter a decade of slushy winters the bottom foot of the track is flaking rust.
Garage Door Cable ReplacementThere was a sharp crack from the garage, and when you went to look the door had dropped on one side and jammed.
Torsion Spring ReplacementThe door drops the last stretch to the floor rather than settling, and when you stop it halfway by hand it slides down instead of staying put.
Extension Spring ReplacementThe door climbs with the left corner ahead of the right, then twists as it turns into the ceiling track.
Garage Door Balance AdjustmentThe opener has started to groan on the way up.
Openers & Access
Wall-mounted openers sit beside the torsion shaft instead of on the ceiling, which leaves room for storage, a car lift or a high-lift door.
Garage Door Opener Diagnosis and RepairFor a few days there was a grinding sound whenever the door started moving.
Chain-Drive Opener RepairThe motor runs, you can hear it working, but the door never moves.
Belt-Drive Opener RepairPress the remote and the motor runs its full cycle, lights on, the usual whir, but the door does not move a centimetre.
Garage Door Opener ReplacementYou want the ceiling back.
Photo-Eye Sensor Alignment or ReplacementOn bright mornings the door will not close, then by lunchtime it behaves itself.
Garage Door Remote and Keypad ProgrammingThe remote opens the door only when you are almost underneath it.
Smart Garage Controller SetupThere is a wireless symbol printed on the opener above the car, and the manual mentions an app, but the head unit has never been connected to anything.
Emergency Release RepairYour garage is detached and has no side door.
Installation & Upgrades
Wood swells, steel dents, aluminum stays light and composite shrugs off the weather.
Sectional Garage Door ReplacementThe door shakes through the curved track, hinges have loosened in worn mounting points, and repairs now involve several parts at once.
Insulated Steel Garage Door InstallationYou want windows for natural light without turning the garage into a cold glass wall.
Wind-Rated Garage Door ReplacementNew windows would improve the door's appearance, but they also change the section layout and reinforcement pattern.
Carriage-House Garage Door InstallationCold air is noticeable around the current door, especially near the floor and section joints.
Full-View Glass Garage Door InstallationA heated garage feels cold beside its ageing door each winter.
New-Construction Garage Door InstallationPower and low-voltage wiring are being roughed in while the garage is open.
Commercial Sectional Door RepairOne busy service-bay door has become louder than the matching doors beside it.
Commercial Rolling Door RepairThe labelled rolling fire door still moves from its control, yet the release assembly and closing path were disturbed during nearby work.
High-Lift Garage Door ConversionStorage racks were planned near the ceiling, but the existing tracks and centre-mounted opener divide the only practical zone.
