Help for existing doors

Leave the lifting parts to us

Springs and cables support the door’s weight and can release force suddenly. Don’t try to adjust them or force the door. Keep people away from an unstable door while you arrange help.

  • Cables and drums checked
  • Door balance checked
  • Unsafe movement clearly explained

Check what caused the problem

We’ll inspect the springs, cables and related hardware, then explain what needs replacing or adjusting. The replacement parts need to suit the actual door.

Restore controlled movement

After the repair, we’ll check the balance and movement, along with the load on the opener. We’ll also point out any other damage or wear that needs attention.

Common questions

Common questions about springs & cables

Can I use the motor with a broken spring?

No. Stop using the door; the motor cannot safely take over the spring’s job.

Can I put a loose cable back myself?

No. The lifting system needs checking before the door is moved again.

Do all the parts need replacing?

Not always. We’ll inspect the connected parts and explain what should be replaced together.

Would a photo help?

Yes, if you can take it from a safe distance. Don’t go beneath an unstable door or approach loaded parts to get a photo.
