Cable, roller and track repairs in Whitstable: what to expect
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.
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.

If a spring has broken, a cable has come off or the door hangs crooked, stop using it, keep people and pets clear and do not try to force it open or closed. Leave the operator unplugged until the engineer has checked it.

Questions from Whitstable customers
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.
