Garage Door Servicing and Maintenance
Keep your garage DOOR RUNNING smooth, quiet, and safe.
Why regular servicing matters
Like anything mechanical, garage doors need a little TLC to keep them performing properly. A quick ANNUAL CHECK can help prevent breakdowns, extend the life of your opener, and make sure your door’s operating safely and quietly.
We offer servicing for all major brands — even if we didn’t install it.
How often should a garage door be serviced?
Once a year, and for a new home, the first full service about 15 months after the door goes in. Think of it like a car: regular maintenance protects the life of the door and its warranty, and it catches a worn spring or cable before it lets go. Between services, give the outside of the door a wash every few weeks, next time you wash the car, so residue doesn't build up. We service every major brand, whoever installed the door.
What a garage door service covers
A service looks at the parts that wear: springs and cables, rollers and tracks, the door's balance and spring tension, the motor, and the remotes and safety sensors. If anything needs replacing, we tell you what it is and what it costs before we do it. If your motor beeps or flashes after it runs, that is often the opener counting its cycles and telling you a service is due. Heavy-use doors need it most, which is why we service the ten big sectional doors at Gisborne Fire Station, and three more out the back, on our annual East Coast run.
Common Issues We Catch Early
Some garage door problems start small but get worse fast — especially with daily use.
Worn-out springs or cables – These take a lot of strain and can break without warning.
Noisy or jerky operation – Often caused by a lack of lubrication, alignment issues, or worn rollers.
Loose or misaligned tracks – Can throw the whole door off balance and lead to damage.
Unresponsive remotes or sensors – Could be a signal issue, a flat battery, or something more serious.
When should you give us a call? If your door feels heavier than usual, starts making strange sounds, or doesn’t open as smoothly as it used to — that’s your cue. Don’t wait for it to get worse or fail completely. We’ll sort it before it becomes a costly fix.
