Cable, roller and track repairs in Hinckley: 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.

What can you choose for your Hinckley garage?

  • Lift cablesReplace and re-tension both sides.
  • RollersReplace worn or broken rollers.
  • Track realignmentStraighten or replace tracks.
  • Bottom bracketsReplace damaged brackets.

How much does a cable or roller repair cost in Hinckley?

Guide price: £120–£280 inc VAT. We agree the visit price before we come; parts and any further work are priced before we do them.

This is a chargeable visit, priced up front. If parts are needed, you get the price before any further work is done.

What should you do until the engineer arrives in Hinckley?

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.
