Common faults and problems

When your automatic garage door goes wrong, the first step is to take a look yourself to see what the problem is. Here are some of the most common issues encountered with garage doors, and some handy troubleshooting tips you could try yourself:

Automated garage door controlsPower failure or malfunctioning controls

If your automatic garage door is not responding, loss of power supply or a faulty controller may be the reason. Check the power source for the door, including the fuse board and access code, and double check that everything is switched on as it should be. Call out our repair engineers if you cannot locate the problem.

 

Door difficult to openDoor is hard to open/close

If your electric garage door feels unusually stiff when in motion, there may be a problem with tracks. Clean out any dirt or debris that might be obstructing the rollers, and add lubrication to ease the stiffness. If sections of the track are dented or warped, your door will need professional attention.

Modern garage doors are precision engineered; even the tiniest obstruction can stop the door from working properly. If your automated garage door is jammed and won’t move up or down, check for obvious blockages inside the tracks to ensure nothing inside the garage is blocking the door operation.

 

Broken Garage DoorMotor overheating

Overheating could be the cause of a temporary power failure. Has your automatic garage door been in use continuously for any length of time? Check the motor temperature and let the door cool down before operating the opener again.

 

GRP garage doorDoor won’t stay open

If your automatic garage door keeps dropping or closing on you, the torsion springs at the top of the frame or the extension springs at the sides may be faulty and can no longer support the weight of the door. Our engineers can easily adjust the springs.

 

Dent Repair in Garage DoorPoor general condition

Has your electric garage door seen better days? What may look like cosmetic damage in the form of cracks, dents or buckles can actually prevent your door from operating correctly. A regular maintenance regime is highly recommended to deal with minor damage before they turn into bigger, and more costly, repair issues.
