Cable, roller and track repairs in Thurso: common questions
Why do rollers wear?
Nylon and steel rollers wear with use and dirt. Worn rollers make the door noisy and rough, and broken rollers can let a section leave the track.
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.

What should you do until the engineer arrives in Thurso?

Questions from Thurso customers
How much does it cost to replace garage door cables?
As a guide, a cable replacement visit is around £120–£280, depending on the door and what else needs attention.
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.
