Cable, roller and track repairs in Portslade: common questions
Can these parts be replaced without a new door?
Yes. Cables, rollers, bottom brackets, hinges and tracks are all replaceable parts.
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.
