Cable, roller and track repairs in Felixstowe: common questions

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.

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.

  • Lift cablesReplace and re-tension both sides.

What does a cable or roller repair cost in Felixstowe?

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 Felixstowe?

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 Felixstowe 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.
