24/7 Roller Shutter Repair Specialists Covering London & Kent
A well-fitted and looked after garage roller shutter door will benefit and heighten the protection of your property. If your roller shutter was poorly installed or if it’s not well maintained, however, you may encounter serious issues like the door being stuck open. This sort of security breach can become a great cause for concern, especially as you won’t want to leave your garage unattended due to the unwanted exposure of your property and its belongings.
Here at Quay Facilities, we provide a 24 hour emergency repair service to fix your garage door issues, restoring it back to working order as soon as possible.
If you’ve tried the emergency release chain to no avail, then read on to learn eight reasons why your roller shutter door won’t close and how we can help.
On occasion, your garage remote control may fail to work properly. Lighter problems include being positioned too far away from the garage door sensor. Or the batteries may be dead and require replacing.
The remote control could be failing to communicate with the garage door system as a result of a damaged motor antenna. We recommend trying to reprogram the remote control before reaching out for further assistance.
Your door sensor may need to be recalibrated if the door is not closing fully. There’s usually a default setting for this on your garage door, which may be causing the problem – your garage door thinks it’ll hit an object when it’s actually hitting the floor. It’s worth updating your settings to check if this is the issue.
Whilst an obvious problem, you should be aware that an obstruction may be impeding from within the garage as well as just outside. It’s always worth scanning the surrounding area for any objects or debris that may be preventing your door from fully closing.
Your garage door may not close properly due to an issue with the power supply. In this scenario, we recommend first checking the power source – try turning it off, then turning it back on again. If this fails to solve the issue, then at least you can rule out power as the cause.
A damaged garage door spring can affect its operating speed and could stop it from working and closing altogether. If there’s a chance the spring has snapped, we urgently advise contacting our emergency shutter repair team for a professional remedy to prevent any serious accidents.
Should any cables be damaged, this can fail to lower the door for it to close properly. Similar to a spring issue, we recommend leaving all damaged cables to a professional to repair.
A properly fitted garage door will easily slide open and close when required. If your garage door is off its track, this won’t be possible. You should check to see if your door is rolling smoothly along its track, with nothing impeding its performance.
Garage doors should be maintained, specifically the garage doors’ tracks, springs, hinges and rollers should be lubricated regularly (say every three months with an approved garage door lubricant) to aid proper operation. If your garage door won’t close, you should try checking your garage door parts for any functioning issues.
