Common Garage Door Faults We Fix in Paarl East

Paarl East has a good number of older homes with garage door hardware that's been in place for years, plus proximity to farm roads and the harvest-season dust that comes with the surrounding wine and fruit farms. Both factors show up in what we're called out to fix.

Worn rollers are the most frequent issue. They get noisy and start binding in the track long before they fail outright, and dust build-up during harvest season (roughly January to March) speeds this up on doors that face gravel roads or open farmland. A roller service is inexpensive and usually solves it.

Track misalignment is the next most common: a door that's started riding off-centre or rubbing on one side. This is usually fixable by realigning the existing track rather than replacing it, provided it hasn't been bent from an impact.

Spring tension issues show up as a door that feels unusually heavy to lift manually, or one that slams down faster than it should. Springs are wear parts with a limited lifecycle and aren't safe to adjust without the right tools. We handle these as standard callouts, not emergencies, unless the door is currently stuck.

We diagnose on-site before quoting any parts, so you're not paying for a new roller set when a clean and adjustment would do the job.
