Garage Doors, Done Properly, On the Sunshine Coast

Most doors are worth repairing. A noisy, slow or stuck door is usually a spring, roller, cable or motor issue, not a reason to replace the whole door. Thom will tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense or a new door is the better spend. Quotes on new doors are free, so you can compare before you decide.

Most torsion springs are rated to around 10,000 open and close cycles, which is roughly seven to ten years for an average household. A door used several times a day wears faster. If your door feels heavy, slams down, or the spring looks gapped or rusty, it is near the end and worth replacing before it snaps.

Often just the motor or the logic board needs replacing, not the whole setup. If the rail and brackets are sound, Thom can fit a new motor head to suit. If the opener is very old or parts are no longer made, a full replacement is the safer call. He will check what fits your door first.

No. Garage door springs are under high tension and can cause serious injury if they let go. Winding a torsion spring without the right bars and technique is the most common way people get hurt around garage doors. This is genuinely one to leave to a technician with the proper tools. Call Thom and stay clear of it.
