- Use the manual override in a power cut only as the manufacturer's instructions for your door describe.

Stuck roller garage door repair in Eltham: questions
Can I get a price for Eltham without anyone visiting?
Yes. The guide price tool takes four steps and gives a range for your opening and door type. It is a guide, not a quote: the written quote comes after the survey or once the visit price is agreed.
What should I do while I wait for a visit in Eltham?
If the door is stuck part-open, keep people, pets and cars clear of it and switch off the power at the isolator if it is safe to reach. Do not force the curtain or open the roller box. Your Eltham visit date is confirmed in writing.
Do you cover Eltham?
Yes. Eltham is part of the area we cover in Greater London, including SE9, SE12 and SE3. Get a guide price online, then we confirm a survey or visit date in writing. Dates depend on installer and engineer availability.
Can I message you a photo of my garage in Eltham?
Yes. Photos of the opening, the inside of the garage above the door and any existing door help us give a more useful guide price for Eltham. Send them by WhatsApp or mention them in your enquiry, and we will reply in writing.
Is it safe to adjust the springs on my manual roller door?
No. The springs inside the barrel of a manual roller door hold stored energy to balance the curtain, and they can release suddenly if disturbed. Adjusting or releasing them needs the right tools and training. If a manual door has become heavy, drops on its own or won't stay up, stop using it and request a visit.
Why will my roller door open but not close?
A door that opens but won't close often points to the safety devices. Dirty, blocked or misaligned photocells, or a damaged safety edge, tell the door something is in the way. Wipe the photocell lenses and check the beam is clear. If it still won't close, request a visit, and never bypass the safety devices.
