What does a cable or roller repair involve in Carrickfergus?
Why do rollers wear?
Nylon and steel rollers wear with use and dirt. Worn rollers make the door noisy and rough, and broken rollers can let a section leave the track.
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.
