What should I know about stuck roller garage door repair in Bicester?
- Use the manual override in a power cut only as the manufacturer's instructions for your door describe.
- Keep people, pets and cars clear of a door that has stopped part-open, and don't walk or drive underneath it.
- Dirty or misaligned photocells can stop an electric door closing, so wipe the lenses and make sure the beam is clear.
- Springs inside a manual door's barrel hold stored energy, so leave the roller box closed and the springs alone.

Rules that apply in Bicester
Powered door safety
Every powered door we fit is commissioned with force testing to BS EN 12453 and handed over with a Declaration of Conformity and UKCA or CE marking, as the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 require.
Electrics
An electric door needs a power supply near the roller box. Electrical work must meet BS 7671, and in England some domestic electrical work is notifiable under Part P, so it is done by a registered competent person or signed off by building control.
Stuck roller garage door repair in Bicester: questions
Do you repair roller doors you did not fit in Bicester?
Yes. We repair roller garage doors of any make in Bicester and across OX26, OX6 and OX25, where parts are available. If a part is no longer made, we tell you what will fit instead, or price a replacement door if that is the better option.
Do you cover Bicester?

How much is a visit in Bicester?
Prices for stuck roller garage door repair start from £119 inc VAT, and the price is agreed before anyone comes out. Any parts not covered by that price are quoted before they are fitted, so you can decide on the spot. The guide prices are the same in Bicester as elsewhere we cover.
Will you fix the door on the first visit?
A fault can sometimes be found and put right on the first visit, but we never promise it. If a part needs ordering, we quote for it first, make the door safe where we can, and confirm the return date 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.
