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

What does a cable or roller repair involve in Ilkeston?

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.

How do you stop it happening again?

Regular servicing catches fraying cables and worn rollers before they fail. Keeping tracks clean and not lubricating them with heavy grease helps too.

What can you choose for your Ilkeston garage?

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

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.
