Frequently Asked Questions
What can you actually fix?
Common issues - sensor alignment, track debris, simple mechanism problems. Complex motor or control board failures need specialist door companies. We assess and advise honestly.
Is it worth repairing or replacing?
Depends on age and issue. Simple fixes are worth doing. Major motor or system failures in old doors might mean replacement is smarter. We'll give honest assessment.
Can you do emergency repairs?
We can prioritise urgent business access issues. A door stuck open or closed affects security and trade. Call and explain the urgency.
Do you repair all door types?
Sliding, swing, and folding automatic doors - most common types. Very specialist or unusual systems may need manufacturer service. We'll be honest about what we can fix.
