What does a sectional door service involve in Stanford-le-Hope?

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.

Is servicing worth it on a newer door?

Yes. Early servicing keeps the door balanced, which protects the springs and the operator, and it may be a condition of some warranties.

Questions from Stanford-le-Hope customers

Do I need to service an electric garage door?

It is strongly recommended. Safety devices drift and wear, and only testing shows whether they still work.

Can I do anything between services?
