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.
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.

Questions from South Shields 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?
Yes. Test the auto-reverse with a soft object monthly, keep the tracks clean and dry, and watch for frayed cables. Leave springs and cables to engineers.
