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.

Repair or Replace?

Many faults can be put right with a repair. If your door is very old, badly damaged or keeps going wrong, a replacement may be better value in the long run. We supply and fit new doors, mainly from Hörmann and Garador, so we can give you a fair view of both options.

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.
