Garage Door repairs in East Sussex. We recently carried out a garage door repair in Crowborough East Sussex. The problem was a broken garage door cable.

Garage door repairs in East Sussex. This garage door repair in Hastings was to replace a broken garage door spring. On some of the older double Garador-Westland garage doors a single spring consists of an inner and an outer spring. It is not often obvious when the inner spring has broken. This particular customer was perplexed as to why her garage door was so heavy. On close inspection it was discovered that two out of the four springs had broken inner springs. These springs were easily replaced and the door was perfectly balanced again.
Garage Doors Tunbridge Wells-This electric garage door in Tunbridge Wells had a broken garage door spring. This made the garage door too heavy to be lifted by the electric garage door opener and was too heavy for the customer to lift by hand. A replacement spring was found from stock and promptly fitted. After a few minor adjustments and a drop of oil in the right places, this door was left working better than it had done for years.
Garage Doors Uckfield East Sussex-When we were called out to this garage door repair in Uckfield East Sussex, we were expecting to find twisted garage door cables on a Cardale garage door, as this is the most common garage door in Uckfield. Poor maintenance on these garage doors causes the cables to go slack as the door is lifted. They then spill off the end of the cones which prevents the door being lifted up or down. On arrival this was exactly the scenario we found. The cables were untangled, the spring was re-tensioned and the garage door was lubricated in all the right places. The customer was also given instructions on maintaining their garage door.
Garage door repairs Beckenham Kent-We were called out by a regular customer who could not open her automatic garage door. The problem was not with the electric garage door opener but with the garage door springs. One of the springs had broken at the loop where it hooks onto the adjustable bolt on the frame. The door was lifted manually and as with all retractable garage door springs, it was replaced with the door in the up position, where there is the least amount of tension on the spring. The other unbroken spring was also changed as it was the same age as the broken spring and could also go at any time. When both springs had been changed and tensioned the electric garage door opener lifted the door with ease.
Henderson Merlin Garage Door Cables
Garage Door Repairs Tunbridge Wells Kent. A customer struggling to get his garage door down when the garage door cables were twisted felt he had no alternative than to cut the cables. On our arrival on site our first job was to supply and fit new cones and cables to this Henderson garage door. Because the cables had been cut all tension on the spring had been lost. The spring was re-tensioned and the garage door was lubricated in all the important parts. When this repair was completed the door was working smoothly again.
Garage door repairs Biggin Hill Kent-The original Westland/Garador MK3C garage doors were operated by two springs in a box over the top of the garage door. These springs pulled the garage door up with two bowden cables. Broken garage door cables are a common repair but in this instance one of the springs in the spring box had broken. Whilst the springs can be replaced individually, it is possible to purchase a new spring box set which consists of two new springs and two new cables. In an older type door this is often the best solution as all the major working parts are replaced in one go and it is far more economical than replacing each of the springs and cables individually.
Garage door repairs in Sevenoaks Kent. This garage door repair was typical of the problems that can occur if a garage door is poorly maintained. With a lack of lubrication, the spring can not pick up the cables as quickly as the door is lifted. This often results in the garage door cable slipping off the cone, which causes the door to become tilted and impossible to close. A cheap garage door repair can easily rectify this. The cables were re-aligned, the garage door spring re-tensioned and all working parts lubricated. The garage door was working perfectly again.
