Are Roller Garage Doors fixable?
Although Roller Garage Doors are renowned for their durability and quality materials, over the years they can become worn. Roller Garage Door damage can be due to a plethora of reasons- some avoidable, others unfortunately part of constant use. We’re here to advise on these common problems and offer solutions. Including our 2-year guarantee on all doors, protecting you in the future.
Wear and tear
One of the most likely reasons for signs of deterioration comes from generic wear and tear. Over time, the use of the Roller Garage Door will cause marks and bumps from frequent lifting. This can also include the leverage of the door becoming slower or reactivity of the control. As mentioned, this is often found with constant use of the product but still allows the door to perform its job. However, we found that the electric opening mechanism helps minimise damage due to its softer close feature. When compared to the standard garage door, is far gentler on the hinges.
Rollers worn out
In Conjunction with this, as the Roller Garage Door is lifted, it relies on the use of metal rollers to glide it. These Rollers can become worn out, loose or cracked after a while. In Turn, effecting the ability of the door to perform its use and will need replacing. Some simple steps to help avoid this happening regularly is doing weekly checks and lubricating the rollers where applicable. By staying on top of maintaining your rollers this can add a longer life span to the mechanics and keep your garage working smoothly.
Electrical fault
Frequently, a lot of these issues are unable to be avoided. However, we found in electrical faults the problem can be fixed more often than not with a few changes. Small things such as replacing the remotes batteries or wiping down the door to remove anything blocking the sensors could be all that’s needed. However, other major issues for instance, like the fuse blowing or wires damaged would require more attention and professional advice.
Bad weather conditions
Living in the UK, we’re no strangers unfortunately to harsh weather conditions. In turn, this can also affect the quality of your garage door. Damp conditions allow for the door to become rusty and less effective, while harsher impactful weather causes splits and leaks within the structure. However, by keeping an eye on signs of weather damage, you can treat these effects early on and a lot quicker. Additionally, if you want to add an extra layer of protection, painting or sealing your door can help. This may not eliminate all issues but can provide a shield from direct exposure . Here at Roll Right, all our doors are made from durable aluminum slats. Compared to standard doors these are sturdier, stronger, and less susceptible to adverse weather conditions. This means damage from the weather is at a lower risk for Roller Garage Doors and their life span is longer.
