What does a cable or roller repair involve in Basildon?

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 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.

No. A crooked door usually means a cable or roller fault. Keep clear and book a visit.

No. Clean them and keep them dry. Light lubricant goes on hinges, roller bearings and springs, not the inside of the tracks.
