When your sectional garage door develops a fault, it can compromise the security of your garage, its contents and your home. Whatever the problem may be, it’s important to have it seen to and the issue resolved quickly, efficiently and professionally.

At Wessex Garage Doors, our seasoned garage door technicians can deal with virtually any problem you may encounter with your sectional garage doors. Get in contact to arrange for a site visit, and we will be there as quick as we can to diagnose the problem and fix what’s wrong.

What can go wrong?

Your first step is to identify what the problem is and see whether you can fix it yourself. Here are the most common issues encountered with sectional garage doors, and what you can do about them:

Broken motor icon

No power

For sectional garage doors with automation, a loss of power might be the reason they’re not responding. Check the power source for the door, including the fuse board, and make sure everything is switched on to eliminate a power supply issue.

Door difficult to open

Door is hard to open or close

Whether your sectional garage door is electrically or manually operated, there will be an emergency release chain that should jerk the door into motion. If it still refuses to budge, arrange for a visit from our technicians for professional attention.

Broken motor icon

Door won't stay open

If the door keeps slipping, drooping or closing on you, the problem is likely to be with the torsion springs at the top of the frame and/or the extension springs at the sides. Once the tension goes, the weight of the door can no longer be supported properly. A qualified technician can easily adjust the springs but if you ignore the issue, the springs will eventually fail and need replacing.

Dent repair icon

Poor condition

Is your garage door generally in poor condition? Damage in the form of buckles, cracks or dents can prevent the door from functioning correctly, and it will look unsightly too. Make sure you have a regular maintenance regime to spot and deal with minor damage, or call Wessex Garage Doors for advice.

Automated garage door

Incorrect door code

For code operated sectional garage doors, check that you are using the correct access code. If you are and the door remains motionless, or a neighbour’s door is using the same code as yours, you need to call out the engineers to reset the system.
