Garage door repairs that get done on the first visit.
Springs, cables, tracks, panels, off-track doors and doors that just won't behave. We carry common parts on the van so most repairs are finished on the first visit.
A garage door is the biggest moving object in most homes, and when it stops it usually stops at the worst time. We repair every type of door and every major brand, whether we installed it or not, and we tell you straight whether it is worth repairing or you are better off replacing it.
What we fix
Broken springs. The most common failure. A door that suddenly feels impossibly heavy, or a loud bang from the garage, is almost always a snapped torsion or extension spring. These are under serious tension and are not a DIY job.
Snapped or frayed cables. Often the door will sit crooked, jam on one side or drop unevenly. We replace cables in pairs so both sides wear evenly.
Doors off track. Usually from a bump with the car, a worn roller or a bent track. We reset the door, replace damaged rollers and straighten or replace the track section.
Damaged panels. Single sectional panels can often be replaced rather than swapping the whole door, subject to the model still being available.
Noisy, slow or jerky doors. Worn rollers, dry hinges, loose hardware or a tired motor. A service usually sorts it.
Doors that won't open or close. Could be the motor, the safety sensors, the remote or the door itself. We diagnose on site and fix what is actually wrong, not the first thing we see.
Insurance and storm damage
Storm season, flooding and the occasional reversing car all end up as insurance jobs. We make the opening secure on the first visit so the house is not left open, assess what is salvageable and what is not, and provide a written report with photos in the format insurers ask for. We can deal directly with your insurer or builder if that is easier.
Servicing
An annual service keeps a door quiet, balanced and safe. We check spring tension, lubricate moving parts, tighten hardware, test the auto-reverse safety function and flag anything that is on its way out before it fails.
How it works
Call or send a photo
Tell us what the door is doing. A quick photo or video helps us bring the right parts.
Upfront price on site
We inspect, explain the fault and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Fixed and tested
Most repairs are completed on the first visit and the door is tested before we leave.
Should I repair or replace my garage door?
If the door is structurally sound and parts are still available, a repair is usually the better value. If panels are rusted through, the door is very old, or you are on your third repair in a year, we will tell you honestly that a new door makes more sense.
Can I replace a garage door spring myself?
We strongly recommend against it. Springs hold a lot of stored energy and serious injuries happen every year. It is a fast, inexpensive job for a technician with the right tools.
Do you repair doors you did not install?
Yes. We service all major Australian brands and most imported doors.
How quickly can you come out?
We will give you an honest booking window when you call. If the door is stuck open or your car is trapped, tell us and we will move it to the front of the queue.
