Our garage door work
One noisy door can wake a household. One stuck door can hold up a whole morning. Our services are organized around fixing what stops you, and around the maintenance that keeps it from happening again.

Repair & Maintenance
The best time to look at a door is before anything breaks. An inspection walks through the springs, cables, rollers, hinges, tracks, seals and opener settings in turn, and comes back with a plain list of what is fine and what is not.
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-UpHalfway up, the door shudders.
Off-Track Garage Door ResetYour car is inside and the door is stuck crooked across the opening.
Garage Door Panel ReplacementFrom outside, the horizontal groove between two sections now steps sideways by a centimetre.
Garage Door Bottom Seal ReplacementThe garage doubles as a workshop, and with the heater running the floor near the door stays cold and the draft finds your ankles…

Springs
Springs & Hardware
Hinges hold the sections together and let them fold around the curve of the track. When they crack or wear oval, the door binds and the panels begin to separate.
Garage Door Roller ReplacementThe door is the one the builder installed and has never had a part changed. It works, but it clatters, the wheels are hard white plastic with no bearings in them, and the opener sounds like it is labouring more each…
Garage Door Hinge ReplacementWatching from inside as the door opens, you can see the gap between the second and third panels open up on one side as they turn the corner into the ceiling, then close again. The other side stays tight.
Garage Door Track Repair or ReplacementThe door has started rubbing the frame on the left, leaving a shiny stripe down the weatherstrip. Looking closely, the bracket near the floor stands a finger's width off the wood, its screws half out.
Garage Door Cable ReplacementYour older door has springs along the tracks, and one cable has slipped off its pulley and dangles slack. The door lifts crooked and needs a shoulder to close, when it used to glide.
Torsion Spring ReplacementYou heard a sharp bang from the garage, and now the opener hums for a second and gives up. The door lifts a few centimetres at most, then settles back down as if something very heavy is holding it in place.
Extension Spring ReplacementIt is the first hard frost of the year and the door on the old detached garage has stopped halfway, squealing at one pulley. The springs are the ones that came with the door decades ago, orange with rust where they hang…
Garage Door Balance AdjustmentThe door has grown heavy so gradually you stopped noticing, until a visitor tried to lift it and could not. The opener still manages, but it sounds strained, the chain slaps on the way up, and the wall button gets…
Openers
Openers & Access
Openers connect to the door through the arm and the trolley, and a poor connection here makes the door jerk at the start of travel. Adjusting the arm, replacing a worn trolley and lubricating the rail smooth it out.
