Sectional garage door servicing and safety checks in Lancing: common questions

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.

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.

Questions from Lancing customers

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.

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.
