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. Servicing catches wear before it becomes a breakdown and keeps a powered door safe.

Sectional garage door servicing and safety checks in Lincolnshire: 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.
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.
Which options can you choose?

- Annual serviceOne visit a year.

Safety points for customers in Lincolnshire
Until the visit, avoid using a door that is noisy, crooked or heavy. If it is stuck open and you need to secure the garage, call us first; forcing a door with a broken spring or cable is dangerous.
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.
