What Are the 3 Challenges Homeowners Face With Their Garage Doors?

Rollers, openers and panels: the three most common garage door problems and how they're fixed.

A garage door that isn't working properly can put your car and your safety at risk. Have a professional diagnose and fix problems early. These are the three we see most.

1. Roller Problems

If the door shakes, jerks or makes a loud grinding or creaking noise as it moves, the rollers are a likely cause. Worn or damaged rollers stop the door running smoothly and wear the tracks. Replacing them makes a big difference to noise. Our technicians replace rollers on the spot.

2. Opener Problems

The opener is the heart of an automatic garage door, with several parts working together. A stripped worm gear or drive gear, a failing motor or out-of-adjustment limit switches can stop the door opening or closing properly. Damaged circuit boards and worn drive chains or belts cause problems too. We repair and replace openers across Langley.

3. Panel Problems

The sections (panels) make up the door itself and most of its look. Dents, cracks and rust spoil the appearance, and badly damaged sections can bend, stress the hinges and stop the door running straight. Get them repaired or replaced promptly.
