Garage Doors 247 specialises in diagnosing and fixing all common Essex garage door faults. Below are the issues we resolve most frequently.
Broken Garage Door Springs
Springs carry most of the door’s weight. When they break, the door becomes heavy, unsafe or completely stuck. We supply and install high-tension springs for all door types.
Cables often fray, stretch or break due to age or misuse. We replace cables quickly to restore safe operation.
Faulty Roller Shutter Motors
If your roller shutter garage door stops halfway, will not open or makes loud noises, the motor or control unit may be failing. Our engineers carry replacement motors and control boards ready to install.
Remote Control and Safety Sensor Issues
Many roller shutter doors stop responding to remotes due to pairing issues, low frequency, safety beam faults or old receivers. We reprogram, replace and test all remote and safety systems for reliable operation.
Noisy or Jerky Operation
Grinding, scraping or jerky movements usually mean worn rollers, misaligned tracks or lack of lubrication. We fine-tune and service the entire system.
Door Stuck Open or Closed
A stuck garage door is a serious security risk. Our engineers are trained to release and repair jammed mechanisms safely.
Roller shutters are popular for their space saving design and strong security. However, their motors and slats require specialist knowledge to repair. We handle all roller shutter faults including:
Motor replacement Control panel issues Safety edge faults Remote programming Slat realignment Barrel and axle repairs Manual override systems
Our extensive experience makes us one of the most trusted roller shutter repair teams in Essex.
If your electric garage door is refusing to open or close, the problem could be a worn motor, faulty circuit board, dead remote, or safety sensor misalignment. Garage Doors 247 repairs automation systems for all brands including:
