Garage Door Repair Kits

When replacing garage door cables, please also look at the condition of the roller spindles.
If the roller spindles show any signs of wear (ie, if the rollers are sliding up and down and not rolling)

now is the best time to also replace them.

Examples of badly worn Roller Spindles pictured below.
The plastic roller wheels are worn flat!
Garador Roller Wheels (top)
Henderson Roller Spindles (middle)
King Roller Spindles (bottom)
























By replacing both the cables and roller spindles
will help to make sure your garage door works like new!


These kits include: Cones, Cables and Roller Spindles
(Garador and Westland Repair Kits: includes Cables and Roller Wheels)

Example: Henderson Merlin Repair Kit Pictured Below.

Garage Door Repairs

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  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.
 
 
 Follow the Fitting Instructions - Fitting Instructions

Most garage door repairs can be carried out with relative ease, and at the same time saving you money!!

If changing garage door cables yourself, there are some important points to follow:

1. Read carefully any Instructions that are available for your door

2. Always replace both cables/wires at the same time

3. Always replace both or all garage door springs at the same time!

4. Make sure that you have the correct tools available to enable you to complete the job

5. Make sure that you have the correct garage door parts for the repair.

(If you are replacing the garage door cables, please also check the roller spindles for wear, as this is a good time to also replace them)

6. Always oil all moving parts.

Beautiful French Holiday Gite, available to rent in France, Deux Sevres, Poitou Charentes, Bressuire, Moncoutant, France.


Beautiful French Holiday Gite, available to rent in
Deux Sevres, Poitou Charentes, Bressuire, Moncoutant, France.   
 This Beautiful Holiday Home is where you can enjoy and take advantage all that France has to offer!

Set in the beautiful and peaceful rolling country side of Deux-Sèvres you are ideally situated to enjoy many of the
local activities during the day, in the evening simply sit and relax with a glass of wine in the garden whilst listening to the birds singing as the sun goes down.


The house can comfortably sleep 6 people + 1 baby, the house has two bathrooms, one on the ground floor and one
on the first floor, it also has a new enclosed swimming pool.

Our Beautiful French House has recently been fully refurbished to a very high standard to provide all the home comforts, whilst retaining many of the original French features. It is attractively and tastefully decorated, comfortably furnished and very well equipped.

The gite which has 5 bedrooms in total, but we only let 3 bedrooms so to allow for a comfortable holiday.
The gite comprises of the kitchen / dining room, complete with fridge/freezer, dish washer, micro-wave, gas hob, oven, and extractor fan, high chair, travel cot, and all utensils for cooking.

The spacious lounge has sky free view channels, dvd player, and ipod connection, cd player, and the good size log burner will take off any chill on late summer evenings.
A selection of board games and books are available.

There are 2 double bedrooms and 1 bathroom downstairs, the bathroom includes both a bath and shower and upstairs there is a twin bedroom and the second bathroom with a bath and shower.

The house is south facing so you have the sun all day, if it gets too hot then we have plenty of parasols and trees to sit under.
The very well maintained garden is very private, peaceful except for the sound of birds singing. We get several different species of wild birds visiting the garden all day, such as Blue Tits, Great Tits, Thrushes, Woodpeckers and the occasional Owl.

The private swimming pool is secure and fenced off providing peace of mind for parents.

It is a joy to sit outside on a summers evening after a day adventuring whilst drinking a glass or two of red wine, whilst the sun goes down.

Outside
You can also enjoy a game of Boules on our French Boules Pitch, the games room has a pool table, table football, a darts board and a selection of other games.
Laundry room, plenty of sun loungers and parasols. You are more than welcome to pick the fruit from our cherry, peach, apple and pear trees when ripe
