Garage door servicing
An annual service keeps your door safe, quiet and reliable, and catches worn parts before they fail.
Garage door servicing in Inverness
A garage door is the largest moving part of most homes, and every time it opens and closes its springs, cables, rollers and seals take a little more wear. Most manufacturers recommend a professional service once a year, and more often for a door that is used several times a day.
A regular service catches small problems before they turn into breakdowns, keeps the door running smoothly and quietly, and helps it last for years longer before it needs replacing. It also keeps the door safe for everyone who uses it, which matters most with children and pets around.
A garage door service typically covers:
- Checking springs, cables and pulleys for wear and correct tension
- Checking and lubricating rollers, hinges, bearings and tracks
- Checking the door’s balance and adjusting it where needed
- Testing locks, handles and seals
- On electric doors, testing the opener, remote controls and the safety reverse
If we find a part that is worn, we will tell you before doing anything else and quote for it, so you stay in control of the cost.
Every door is different, so we give you a price for an annual service once we have seen yours.
Between services, keep the tracks and seals clean and free of debris, and look out for warning signs: banging or screeching, a door that sticks or stops part way, or visible rust or damage. If you notice any of these, get in touch and we will take a look.
