Cable, roller and track repairs in Southampton: what to expect
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 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.
Which options are available in Southampton?
- Track realignmentStraighten or replace tracks.
- RollersReplace worn or broken rollers.
- Lift cablesReplace and re-tension both sides.
- Bottom bracketsReplace damaged brackets.

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.
