Garage Doors
How we can help
When a door stops, you want to know two things: what happened and what it takes to fix it. The service pages below answer both for every job we do, from the smallest adjustment to a whole new door.
Repair & Maintenance
Off-track resets, panel replacement, hinge and roller swaps, seal renewal and full tune-ups.
Garage Door Safety InspectionIt has been a hard winter.
Garage Door Tune-UpYou pulled the red cord to lift the door by hand during a power cut and it felt like lifting a car.
Off-Track Garage Door ResetA delivery van backed into the shop's overhead door this afternoon.
Garage Door Panel ReplacementYou misjudged the last metre of the driveway and felt the bumper meet the door.
Garage Door Bottom Seal ReplacementWith the door closed and the lights off, a bright line of daylight runs along the floor from one side to the other.
Garage Door Perimeter WeatherstripThe new door went in last year and looks perfect, but the old wooden stop and its tired seal were left in place.
Garage Door Manual Lock RepairIt is a February morning and the key goes only halfway into the garage handle.
Springs & Hardware
Torsion hardware is a small kit of parts that must agree with each other: spring, shaft, drums, cables, bearing plates and centre bracket.
Garage Door Roller ReplacementNew springs went in last year and the door balances well, yet it still clicks along the ceiling track like a train over rail joints.
Garage Door Hinge ReplacementOn the old wood door, one hinge has pulled away from the panel, dragging a screw and a chunk of soft timber with it.
Garage Door Track Repair or ReplacementAfter a decade of slushy winters the bottom foot of the track is flaking rust.
Garage Door Cable ReplacementThe cable has wrapped itself around the shaft above the door instead of sitting on its drum.
Torsion Spring ReplacementOn a cold morning the remote does nothing useful: the light comes on, the motor turns briefly, the door stays shut.
Extension Spring ReplacementOne of the springs beside the track is hanging loose at the front end, its pulley dangling, and a length of cable lies slack along the top of the door.
Garage Door Balance AdjustmentOn cold mornings the door barely makes it up.
Openers & Access
A quieter opener changes a house.
Garage Door Opener Diagnosis and RepairThe door stops partway up for no reason, or opens fine and then refuses the next time.
Chain-Drive Opener RepairThe door opens about a third of the way and stops.
Belt-Drive Opener RepairThe belt looks fine from a distance, but up close the rubber has cracked across the back in dozens of places and, in one spot, you can see the steel cords showing through.
Garage Door Opener ReplacementThe bedroom above the garage shakes every morning at six when the chain drive fires up.
Photo-Eye Sensor Alignment or ReplacementThere are no sensors at the floor at all, or a previous owner has wired the pair together up beside the motor so the beam never crosses the doorway.
Garage Door Remote and Keypad ProgrammingThe remote opens the door only when you are almost underneath it.
Smart Garage Controller SetupThe house came with a controller already screwed to the garage ceiling and a sensor on the door, but the app insists the device belongs to another account.
Emergency Release RepairAfter a week of lifting the door by hand you pressed the button, hoping it would catch.
Installation & Upgrades
New construction, full replacement and layout changes.
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 InstallationThe opener strains as the heavy older door starts upward, and manual movement feels uneven.
Wind-Rated Garage Door ReplacementStrong gusts make the centre of your wide garage door bow inward and the rollers chatter in their tracks.
Carriage-House Garage Door InstallationTwo garage openings sit side by side, and small differences in window spacing or decorative hardware would be obvious.
Full-View Glass Garage Door InstallationThe current door is due for replacement, and this is the opportunity to change the whole character of the opening.
New-Construction Garage Door InstallationThe garage walls are framed, the roof is on and the opening is taking shape.
Commercial Sectional Door RepairA high-lift door begins smoothly, then a cable loses tension as the top sections change direction.
Commercial Rolling Door RepairCold-weather moisture has frozen the bottom seal to the sill, and salty grit has collected along the guide entrances.
High-Lift Garage Door ConversionStorage racks were planned near the ceiling, but the existing tracks and centre-mounted opener divide the only practical zone.
