Cable, roller and track repairs in Ashton-under-Lyne: common questions

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.

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.

My door is crooked. Can I still open it?

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

Should I oil the tracks?

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