Cable, roller and track repairs in Spennymoor: common questions

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.

Which options are available in Spennymoor?

  • Lift cablesReplace and re-tension both sides.
  • RollersReplace worn or broken rollers.
  • Bottom bracketsReplace damaged brackets.
  • Track realignmentStraighten or replace tracks.

What does a cable or roller repair cost in Spennymoor?

What should you do until the engineer arrives in Spennymoor?

If a spring has broken, a cable has come off or the door hangs crooked, stop using it, keep people and pets clear and do not try to force it open or closed. Leave the operator unplugged until the engineer has checked it.
