Cable, roller and track repairs in Gosforth: common questions

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.

Which options are available in Gosforth?

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