Garage Door Servicing and Repair

At Melbourne Garage Doors Repair, we recognise the significance of regular garage door servicing to maintain its peak performance and prolong its lifespan. Our team of skilled technicians is well-versed in delivering thorough and comprehensive garage door servicing solutions.

Visual Inspection:

Our technicians will start by conducting a thorough visual inspection of your garage door system. They will examine the door panels, springs, cables, rollers, tracks, hinges, and other components to identify any signs of wear, damage, or misalignment.

Tightening and Adjustment:

Over time, the constant operation of the garage door can cause bolts, nuts, and hinges to become loose. Our technicians will carefully inspect and tighten all the hardware connections to ensure the door is secure and stable. They will also adjust the spring tension and track alignment if necessary.

Sensor Testing:

Modern garage doors are equipped with safety sensors that detect obstacles and prevent the door from closing if something is in its path. Our technicians will test the sensors to ensure they are functioning correctly and adjust their alignment if needed.

Weather Seal Check:

The weather seal on your garage door helps to keep out dust, debris, and weather elements. Our technicians will inspect the seal for any damage or gaps and replace it if necessary to maintain proper insulation and protection.

Lubrication:

Proper lubrication is vital for smooth and quiet operation of your garage door. Our technicians will apply a high-quality lubricant to the moving parts, such as hinges, rollers, tracks, and springs, to minimise friction and ensure optimal performance.

Balance and Alignment:

A balanced garage door is essential for its proper functioning. Our technicians will check the door's balance by disconnecting the opener and manually operating the door. If any imbalances are detected, they will make the necessary adjustments to ensure the door moves smoothly and evenly.

Opener Inspection:

If you have a garage door opener, our technicians will inspect it for any signs of wear or malfunction. They will examine the motor, gears, drive belt or chain, and safety features to ensure the opener is operating smoothly and safely.

Recommendations and Maintenance Tips:

After completing the servicing process, our technicians will provide you with a detailed report of their findings and recommendations. They will also offer maintenance tips to help you keep your garage door in excellent condition between servicing appointments.

Mick is an absolute legend! Spent 15-25 minutes over the phone helping me with my garage door. Fixed this issue. Then when I offered to pay he said no way. Then he said he would come around when he was in the area and check to make sure everything was ok. Just sensational service! and even if he would accept my money he is very competitively priced anyway. Highly recommend this man and business!

Elliot Janover Google Reviews

Michael and his team were fantastic! We urgently needed help as the garage door had broken down twice in 10 days and we'd had to take it off completely in order to get our cars out. Michael came, scoped out the issues, booked us in and his team came out and fixed all the problems in such a friendly and efficient manner. He saved us over $1500 because another company had said we had to have a whole new system. Thank you Michael!!

Highly recommend this business and the excellent service from Isaac. We had a spring go and were stuck in a difficult position with car stuck in garage. We called on a Saturday morning and he gave us a two hour window that he could make it and everything was as promised.

Don’t bother calling elsewhere you’ve found the right business to fix your garage door 🚪 👌

Common Garage Door Repair Problems and Solutions

No matter how well you take care of your garage door, chances are you’re going to come across an issue or two at least once. Fortunately, whether you’ve noticed that your garage door is making strange noises or you’re dealing with a non-responsive garage door opener, there’s always something you can do to fix it. Here are a few of the most common garage door issues and their basic solutions, as well as tips for when it might be time to reach out for professional help. 

Door Won’t Open or Close​

One of the most common issues with garage doors is when they refuse to open or shut. This can be caused by a few different factors, like misaligned sensors, a malfunctioning opener, or an obstruction in the door’s path. Power outages or dead remote batteries can also be common culprits. 

Solution:

First, check for any obvious obstructions and make sure that the sensors are aligned and clean. Then, replace batteries of the remote if necessary. If the problem continues, your best option will be to call a professional specialising in automatic door repairs to diagnose and fix the issue quickly and efficiently.

Loud Noises During Operation

Dealing with a squeaking garage door? Garage doors usually start making noises like grinding, clinking, squeaking, or popping when the rollers are worn-out, there’s loose hardware, or parts that need lubrication. Don’t ignore these sounds, left unchecked, they could lead to more severe (and expensive) damage over time.

Solution: Performing regular maintenance on your garage door, such as tightening loose components and lubricating moving parts, can often help with these noises and keep your door in the best shape possible. Keep in mind, though, that very loud noises or noises that won’t go away should be inspected by professional roller door repair services to prevent more damage.

Door Moves Unevenly

If your garage door is shifting to one side or looking lopsided, it could be due to issues with the tracks, springs, or cables. These problems could wear out the door’s mechanisms and lead to more serious issues down the line.

Solution:

To address this, check for any bends or obstructions in the tracks, and inspect the springs and cables for signs of wear. We recommend not trying to fix these components yourself, since it could be potentially dangerous. Instead, reach out to a professional offering tilt garage door repair services to safely correct the imbalance.

Remote Control or Wall Switch Not Working

If your garage door remote control or wall switch has suddenly quit working, it could be because of a power problem, dead batteries, or a malfunction in the opener unit itself. 

Solution: To fix this, start by making sure that the opener unit is plugged in and has power. If you’re using batteries, try replacing them and testing the wall switch again. If neither solution works, the problem may lie within the opener system, which will require the expertise of a garage door repair specialist.

Comprehensive Garage Door Repair Checklist

Staying on top of your garage door upkeep will help it run smoothly for years to come. So, to help you maintain your garage door in great shape, we’ve created this comprehensive garage door maintenance checklist. 

Begin by taking a good look at your garage door and its components for any signs of wear and tear. Keep an eye out for cracks, rust, or damage on the door panels, tracks, and hardware. If you notice any panels broken, consider booking a garage door panel repair consult, as this can compromise the safety and operation of your door. 

Unplug the automatic opener and manually lift the door halfway. If it stays in place, it’s properly balanced. If it falls or rises, the springs may need some adjustment.

Safety tip: Garage doors are heavy and springs can be very dangerous parts to handle. To avoid injury or damaging your garage door, reach out to a professional garage repair service. 

Call Melbourne Garage Door Repairs at: 1300 606 677 or fill our online form to request a service.

Keeping your door lubricated is important to keep it opening and closing properly. Apply a high-quality lubricant to the door’s hinges, rollers, tracks, and springs every six months to reduce friction and prevent wear.

See if the door automatically reverses when it comes into contact with an object that’s placed in its path. If it doesn’t, the sensors may need adjustment or replacement

Make sure to remove any debris or buildup from the door tracks. Just avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the tracks and avoid cleaning or handling the garage door springs. If the springs appear dirty or in poor shape, contact a garage door repairs company. 

Look at the cables to make sure they aren’t frayed or worn. If you see any damage, contact a professional to replace the cables immediately.

Check that the door opener is working correctly by testing both the remote control and wall switch. 

Inspect the weatherstripping at the bottom of the door for cracks or gaps. If needed, replace it to improve insulation and keep out dust and drafts

Finally, don’t forget to schedule an inspection with a professional garage door technician if you encounter any issues. This is the best way of prolonging the life of your garage door and avoiding any future repairs.
