Garage Door Parts
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.
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.
