A sectional garage door service is a planned visit to inspect, adjust, lubricate and safety-test a sectional door and its operator, including the springs, cables, rollers, hinges, tracks, seals, force settings, photocells and emergency release.

Sectional garage door servicing and safety checks in Greater London: what to expect
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.
Will you tell me if something is wearing out?
Yes. You get a short report of what we checked, what we adjusted and anything that needs attention soon, with a price before any extra work.
Why test the force settings?
A powered door that closes too hard can hurt someone. Testing the force limits and reversal is one of the most important parts of a service.

Safety points for customers in Greater London
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.
A garage door fitted with an operator counts as a machine under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, whether it is at home or at work. Whoever puts the complete powered door into service must check it against BS EN 12453, including measuring closing forces with a calibrated meter, and issue a Declaration of Conformity and apply UKCA or CE marking (CE marking in Northern Ireland). That includes motorising an existing manual door, which is why a conversion is always set up and tested as a new powered door.
