Cable, roller and track repairs – example of the door type

What does a cable or roller repair involve in Dartford?

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.

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.

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.
