What to Do If Your Garage Door Fails
-
Don't force it: pulling or prising a stuck door can cause more damage or injury.
-
Leave springs and cables alone: they're under high tension and dangerous to handle.
-
Keep clear: if the door is hanging unevenly, keep children, pets and cars away.
-
Electric doors: try fresh batteries in the remote and check the motor's power supply.
-
Take a photo and note what happened, such as a bang, a noise or a sudden stop.
-
Give us a call on 0141 573 4162 and describe the fault.
Common Garage Door Faults We Repair
Snapped springs and cables: a loud bang, a door that feels very heavy or hangs lopsided. These parts are under high tension, so leave this to a professional.
Door won't open or close: a jam can come from a broken spring or cable, runners or tracks, a lock fault or a motor issue. We'll find the cause and explain your options.
Remote and motor faults: check the remote batteries and the motor's power first. If that doesn't fix it, we can look at the remote, receiver, motor or door mechanism.
Noisy or sticking doors: grinding, squealing or jerky movement usually means a worn or misaligned part. Catching it early stops small problems becoming bigger ones.
Damaged panels: depending on the door and the damage, we can repair or replace the affected part. If a new door makes more sense, we'll tell you honestly.
Lock problems: stiff, broken or seized locks, lost keys and handles that no longer engage can leave your garage insecure. We can check the lock and its mechanism.

A few safe checks first
Check the power is on and the fuse hasn't tripped, wipe the safety sensors, and try the wall switch as well as the remote. If none of that works, stop there. Please don't force the door, and never try to adjust springs or cables yourself, as they're under heavy tension and can cause serious injury.
