Cable, roller and track repairs in the Scottish Borders
We carry out cable and roller repair visits for sectional doors across the Scottish Borders, including Hawick, Galashiels, Peebles and Kelso. The visit price is agreed before we come.
Cable, roller and track repairs fix the parts that guide and lift a sectional garage door: the steel lift cables on each side, the bottom brackets they fix to, the rollers that run in the tracks, and the tracks themselves. Faults here cause a door to run crooked, jam, grind or drop on one side.

Cable, roller and track repairs in the Scottish Borders: what to expect
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 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.
Can these parts be replaced without a new door?
Yes. Cables, rollers, bottom brackets, hinges and tracks are all replaceable parts.
Which options can you choose?
- Bottom bracketsReplace damaged brackets.
- Track realignmentStraighten or replace tracks.
- Lift cablesReplace and re-tension both sides.
- RollersReplace worn or broken rollers.

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 about cable, roller and track repairs in the Scottish Borders
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.

As a guide, a cable replacement visit is around £120–£280, depending on the door and what else needs attention.
