Cable, roller and track repairs in Houghton-le-Spring: 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 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.
