Servicing matters.

To prolong lifespan and prevent problems, regular servicing is essential. As with anything that works with mechanical parts or a motor, checking from time to time how well they’re operating is highly recommended, and in some cases, manufacturers specify a timeframe, making it conditional for their warranty.

Garage door servicing should be carried out at least every 18 months (annually if the door has excessive use – check the manufacturer’s requirements as some do ask that it is done every 12 months). Information about this can be found in your garage door handbook or certification.

More importantly, a garage door serviced regularly will provide you with better value for money in the long term.

FAQs

Here we have answered some of the most frequently asked questions about garage door servicing to help make sure you have the information you need.

Why does my automatic garage door need servicing?

Automatic garage doors are machines with mechanical and electrical moving parts. They have wearing components and safety features, so they do need regular maintenance and safety checks. These checks are carried out by a competent and experienced individual. This is what is included in a service:

  • Check and adjust if necessary all safety systems
  • Lubricate moving parts with the correct lubricant
  • Check that cables, springs and rollers are aligned, tensioned and positioned correctly
  • Check the manual overrides and battery back ups are working correctly
  • Check the range or the remote controls
  • Check for any faults of warranty issues
  • Make sure the customer knows how to override and reset the door in the event of a power failure
My remote controlled garage door has stopped working, will a service fix it?

This is difficult to define. Normally, if a garage door has stopped working, it is due to a fault. It could be something simple like the power has been inadvertently switched off or tripped, or it could be that the spring or settings need adjusting, which is part of a service. Then again, it could be part of a bigger issue, if the simple checks don’t work please call us or send us information.

My automatic up and over door will not open or close, can I do anything myself?

There are a few simple checks you can do which may help solve the immediate issue:

  • Check that the motor unit is switched on and has power. There should be a light or it should make some noise when you press the remote or ‘up’ switch.
  • Check there are no obstructions inside the garage and the track system is clear.

It may be that the manual override red cord has been pulled and the operator has not been re-engaged. This would be evident in that the motor will be working but not lifting the door. Please check your operating instructions to reconnect.

Please remember that all automatic doors should be fitted with a manual override so that the door can be opened and closed in the event of a power failure.

My door opens slightly and then stops, what can I do?

This is normally where the spring or operator needs adjusting and it will require a specialist. However, in the meantime, you can sometimes help it to open as a short-term measure by relieving some of the extra pressure. Please check for any obstructions first.

In a word, Excellent. The fitter arrived early morning as arranged and immediately began to get organised and started fitting the 2 garage doors. He worked quickly and tidily and did a fantastic job. He was friendly and polite, and I couldn’t fault a single thing. He left the area clean and tidy and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Eastern Garage Doors. A 5 star service from the office staff, to the surveyor/quote, to fitting.
