How to Fix a Garage Door? - Need Help with a Garage Door Repair?

We can supply the garage door spares and fitting instructions to help most garage door repairs.

The most common questions I get asked:

(Q) How to Fix a Garage Door?

Firstly try to identify the make of your garage door, then search for the parts under the Manufacturers List on the right of the website.

(Q) How to Repair a Garage Door?
If you have found the parts need for the repair, then you must read any garage door fitting instructions for that part!

(Q)How do I repair my garage door cable or spring?
Please do not attempt to repair any garage door cable or spring, it is highly advisable not to weld any spring or try to join a cable with block connectors etc.

(Q) How much would it cost to get a professional to repair my garage door?
This depends on the repair, the average price in the UK for replacing the cones and cables is £79.00 and £120.00 including the roller spindles been replaced.



It Makes Sense to Fix Your Garage Door!


In these tough economic times, maintenance and refurbishment makes far more sense than replacement.
Most improvements or refurbishments on houses and gardens end up costing far more than was originally expected. By trying to do as much of the work yourself within your capabilities is going to help at times like these.
Garage doors for example are items that if working properly are marvellous and can add to a properties aesthetics and value. We all take for granted the opening and closing of the garage door on a day to day basis, usually with very little though as to any routine maintenance!
So imagine the horror when the cables, rollers spindles, springs or even the garage door handle breaks and you are left unable to gain access to your car, motorcycle, freezer or garden equipment!
An old garage door can look shabby and make the whole property look less desirable especially when it comes to selling a property. A well looked after garage door in good decorative order is all part of the external appeal of a house. Routine maintenance of oiling all moving parts can prolong the life of any garage door, especially if near to the coast. (salt erosion)
The cables and cones or even the garage springs are the main components on garage doors that do tend to need replacing first usually due to wear and tear or damage, if fitted correctly and with routine maintenance there is no reason the running parts should not last average 20 years or more!!
The cables and springs can often be easily and cost effectively replaced.

Never try to repair a broken cable or garage door spring!

Motorcycle, motorbike, security chains, ground anchors, Oxford,



Motorcycle security is often overlooked. Motorbikes, scooters, moped and quads are either locked with weak security devices or not locked at all.

A motorbike is can be of greater sentimental value than a car and many
new bikes these days are of higher value than a car too. The sentimental
aspect is the greatest. For example a treasured, older bike which has
been restored, maintained and with owner specific additions cannot be
replaced.


Motorbike security comes in various forms depending on usage, requirement of location and type of bike. The main devices are disc locks and chains, padlocks and chains and ground anchors.

Motorcycle theft has been rising year on year although
it must be remembered that the number of motorbikes on the road has also
grown. 80% of motorbikes are stolen from the home. According to the
Police, around 50% of motorbikes stolen were not locked. In the UK, mopeds and scooters are the most stolen forms of motorcycles.



Established in 1992 by Northumbria and Essex Police with the help and
backing of the Home Office, Sold Secure is an independent body funded by
UK insurers that tries to set a bar to eliminate low-level products
from the market. Manufacturers and suppliers can apply to have their
products approved by Sold Secure. They assign three levels: bronze, silver and gold.
Sold Secure: Bronze: These products offer resistance or attack from the basic tools (aimed at preventing opportunist crime).
Sold
Secure: Silver: These products offer theft resistance against enhanced
tool list (aimed at preventing more determined attacks).
To award
Gold they test the products on the bikes to recreate a real-life theft
situation. Disc-locks undergo some of the hardest tests to pass on a
bike: wedge test with hammer chisel and screwdriver. Locks without
double-locking pins do not pass. The Gold testing also involves lock
picking, drilling, slide-hammering, sawing, wedging test and a torque
test. Testers require 6-8 samples, and they study technical drawings
before the tests to determine weak points. They re-test annually. It
isnt just for the assurance that the lock has been thoroughly tested but
having a lock approved by Sold Secure can even reduce your insurance premium.


Leading manufacturers of motorcycle security devices are Xena, Squire and Oxford. Squire Locks are well respected in the motorcycle sector.
Henry Squire and Sons Limited have been manufacturing locks and theft prevention devices in England since 1780.
XENA Security
began in the early 1990s when a group of UK engineers and motorcycle
enthusiasts set out to design a better motorcycle lock and Oxford Products
was founded in 1973 by a group of enthusiasts at University City of
Oxford. Still today, Oxford Products is staffed by active enthusiasts
who test and develop the product range. - See more at:
