Photo-eyes, the auto-reverse setting and a properly balanced door are what stand between a closing door and a child, a pet or a bike wheel. We test all three on every visit, adjust what has drifted, and explain how you can check them yourself.

Garage door spring replacement
One noisy door can wake a household. One stuck door can hold up a whole morning. Our services are organized around fixing what stops you, and around the maintenance that keeps it from happening again.
The spring system is matched to the door's weight, and getting that match right is what makes a door balanced.
Balance is the quiet foundation of a working door.
A garage door belongs to the architecture. Its movement belongs to your everyday life. We bring both into the conversation.

The spring system is matched to the door's weight, and getting that match right is what makes a door balanced. These services replace worn springs and cables and set the tension correctly.
Part 1The panels
You misjudged the last metre of the driveway and felt the bumper meet the door. The bottom section now carries a crease across most of its width.
Part 2The springs
The door starts to rise, gets about the height of your knee, then shudders and reverses. The opener sounds strained, and the top section flexes as the trolley pulls on it, because the motor is doing work the spring used to do.
Part 3The cables
After years of slushy winters the cables look thinner near the bottom brackets, with rust streaks running down the door where they attach. The door still works, but the frayed wires catch your glove when you brush past.
Part 4Tracks and rollers
Halfway up, the door hesitates and the opener strains before it carries on. Pulled by hand with the opener released, you feel the same catch at the same height, as if a wheel is dragging instead of turning.
Part 5The opener
You press the remote from the driveway and hear the motor hum overhead, a steady drone with no movement behind it. The door stays shut.

Openers
Wall-mounted openers sit beside the torsion shaft instead of on the ceiling, which leaves room for storage, a car lift or a high-lift door. Installing one is a change in layout as much as a change in motor.

Matching the door to the house is not an accident. Proportion, panel layout, window placement and colour are chosen together, and we help with the choosing before we get to the installing.

Step 1 of 5
Describe the property, the hardware and what has changed, and the visit starts from what you have seen.
Step 2 of 5
Grinding, slow climbing, a door that reverses: the symptom points to the part. We take it down and plan the visit around it.
Step 3 of 5
As each part is checked, the technician tells you what it shows and what it means for the door as a whole.
Step 4 of 5
Old springs, cables and packaging leave with us, and the workspace is swept. A clean finish is part of every visit.
Step 5 of 5
Hear the choices, ask your questions, take the time you need. The work starts when you say so and not before.

Every square is one home in a hundred.
The manufacturer's label is the starting point. It is often a sticker on the end of a section, on the inside of the top section or on the vertical track, and it usually gives the model or series, a date and sometimes a colour code. Failing that, the panel design, section heights, thickness, joint profile and hinge spacing narrow it down, and the distributor can usually confirm the model from photographs and measurements.
In everyday speech, yes: people call the horizontal pieces of a garage door panels. In the trade's own terminology a section is the full-width piece that hinges to its neighbours, and a panel is one of the raised or recessed shapes embossed across it, so a door might have four sections of four panels each. When you ask for panel replacement, the technician understands you mean the section, and will confirm which one.
A strut is a horizontal steel stiffener fastened across the inside of a section to keep it from bowing. Wide doors, top sections where the opener arm pulls, and bottom sections that take knocks are the usual places for them. If your damaged section had a strut, the new one gets a straight strut refitted or replaced. If a top section bowed because it never had one, adding a strut is part of putting it right.
Not necessarily, and that is fine. The paint colour on the winding cone or coil is a code that identifies wire size and wind direction, and different suppliers use their own schemes, so a matched replacement can carry a different colour than the spring it replaces. What matters is that the wire size, diameter, length and wind direction suit the door's weight and height, which is confirmed by the balance test.
