A garage door in Kemble that gets looked over once a year rarely surprises anyone. We set up a simple schedule: spring tension checked, rollers and hinges lubricated, cables inspected for fraying, photo-eyes cleaned and aligned, opener force retested. Small visits like that push the big repair years down the road. The same crew covers Hogg.

The lift cables are thin steel ropes under constant load. Rust, kinks and broken strands show up at the bottom where they meet the bracket, and a cable that gives way drops one side of the door. Replacing them is routine work for us.
Part 1The panels
Rust has crept along the bottom edge of the lowest section. What began as bubbling paint is now a soft, flaking strip, the seal retainer is working loose, and a screwdriver pressed against the worst spot goes through the steel.
Part 2The springs
The 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. Balance has drifted, and the spring is no longer holding its share of the weight.
Part 3The cables
The cable has wrapped itself around the shaft above the door instead of sitting on its drum. When the opener runs, the door lurches, one side rises before the other, and the top panel twists.
Part 4Tracks and rollers
New springs went in last year and the door balances well, yet it still clicks along the ceiling track like a train over rail joints. The wheels are the originals, worn to an oval, and the noise follows them from one end of the travel to the other.
Part 5The opener
For a few days there was a grinding sound whenever the door started moving. Now the motor spins freely and the door stays exactly where it is.
Garage Door Safety Inspection. Your toddler has discovered the wall button.
Request a visitMove the car out if you can and clear a metre or so in front of the door and along both tracks so the technician can reach the hinges and brackets. Find the door and opener manuals and any earlier repair paperwork. Have every remote and the keypad code to hand. If something has changed lately, be ready to say when and what you noticed first. If the door looks wrong, leave it where it is.
A lubricant made for garage doors, applied lightly to hinge knuckles, roller stems and the springs, following the door maker's own recommendation, since the right product and whether bearings are included varies by manufacturer. General-purpose penetrating oils are thin and wash away, and heavy grease attracts grit. Nothing goes on the track raceway or on a nylon or plastic wheel. The opener's chain or screw rail may take a lithium grease according to its manual, and the manual for your door names what its maker prefers.
Often, yes. The vertical track is meant to stand a fraction further from the jamb at the top than the bottom, so the closed door seals on its stop and swings clear as it rises. If a bracket has loosened or the track was set flat to the wood, the door drags along the stop moulding every trip. Resetting the spacing and taper, and tightening the brackets into sound wood, usually ends the rub.
Leave the door in the position it is in and stop using the opener. Move the car and anything else you need out of the garage by another door if you can, and clear the floor near the door so the technician has room to work. If a cable jumped because the door closed on something, leave the object where it was; it helps explain what happened.
