Cable, roller and track repairs – example of the door type

Cable, roller and track repairs in Forfar: common questions

What knocks tracks out of line?

A car nudging the door, settling of the building, or loose fixings can bend or shift a track. Misaligned tracks make the door bind and strain the operator.

What does a snapped or slack cable look like?

The door hangs lower on one side, may jam part-way, or the cable is visibly loose or off its drum above the door. Stop using the door: a cable fault can let the door twist or fall.
