Sectional garage door servicing and safety checks in Paignton: what to expect

How often should a door be serviced?

For a powered door used every day, once a year is sensible. A lightly used manual door can go longer, though we would not leave it more than two years. Commercial doors that open many times a day need more frequent visits.

What does a service include?

A visual and hands-on check of every moving part, tightening of fixings, lubrication of hinges, roller bearings and springs, a balance test, adjustment of cables, seal checks, and a test of force limits, auto-reverse, photocells and the manual release.

What can you choose for your Paignton garage?

  • Lubrication and adjustmentHinges, rollers, springs and cables.
  • Written reportWhat was done and what is wearing.
  • Safety testForce, reversal, photocells and release.
  • Annual serviceOne visit a year.
