What should I know about stuck roller garage door repair in Portslade?
- Don't force the curtain up or down, as it can bend laths or pull them out of the guide rails.
- Use the manual override in a power cut only as the manufacturer's instructions for your door describe.
- The engineer finds the cause, frees and tests the door where possible, and quotes any parts before fitting them.
- Dirty or misaligned photocells can stop an electric door closing, so wipe the lenses and make sure the beam is clear.

My roller door is stuck part-way. What should I do?
Stop pressing the button, keep people and cars clear of the opening, and don't walk or drive under the door. Check the power and the photocells, and look for debris in the guide rails. If that doesn't help, switch the door off at the isolator and request a visit rather than forcing the curtain or opening the roller box.

Yes. We repair stuck electric and manual roller garage doors of any make, whoever fitted them. We don't repair sectional or up-and-over doors. Tell us what the door is doing and the make if you know it, and we'll confirm the visit price before anyone comes out.
