Stuck roller garage door repair in Ashton-under-Lyne: questions

What should I do while I wait for a visit in Ashton-under-Lyne?
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 Ashton-under-Lyne visit date is confirmed in writing.
Can I open a stuck electric roller door by hand?
If the door is stuck because the power is off, you can use the manual override, such as an internal crank or winding handle, exactly as the manufacturer's instructions describe. Don't try to lift or pull the curtain by hand on an electric door, because the motor holds it in place and forcing it can cause damage.
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.
