Garage Panel Lift Doors & Repairs

Is your panel lift door making a lot of noise, or not opening? We can diagnose and repair any issues on the spot. Will get your door working perfectly and no time at all.

Common Garage Panel Lift Door Problems

The panel lift garage door, also known as a sectional garage door, is a popular and versatile choice. Comprising multiple horizontal panels that are hinged together, this type of garage door smoothly operates on vertical tracks, rising vertically and then horizontally along the ceiling. The sectional design allows the door to maximise space and is particularly suitable for properties with limited driveway space or those seeking an aesthetically pleasing and secure solution.

The most common issues that occur with this type of door includes:

Misalignment

Over time, the panels of a sectional door can become misaligned, leading to difficulty in smooth operation and potential jamming.

Worn/Damaged Rollers

The rollers that allow the door to move along the tracks can wear out or become damaged, causing the door to move unevenly or make grinding noises.

Broken Springs

The springs that assist in lifting the heavy door can break, causing the door to become difficult to open or close.

Faulty Garage Opener

Issues with the garage door opener, such as motor malfunctions or sensor problems, can prevent the door from opening or closing properly.

Damaged Panels

Accidents or impacts can cause damage to individual panels, affecting the overall appearance and functionality of the door.

Worn Weather Stripping

The weather stripping around the door's edges can degrade over time, leading to drafts, moisture infiltration, and reduced energy efficiency.

Rusty or Bent Tracks

The tracks that guide the door's movement can become rusted or bent, hindering smooth operation and causing the door to get stuck.

Worn/Broken Cables

The cables that support the weight of the sectional door can wear out or snap due to prolonged usage. When cables are compromised, the door may become unbalanced or get stuck.

Lack of Maintenance

Neglecting regular maintenance can lead to a buildup of dirt, debris, and rust, exacerbating other issues and reducing the door's lifespan.

FAQs for Panel lift garage door

How often should I perform maintenance on my sectional garage door?

Regular maintenance is essential for ensuring the smooth functioning and longevity of your sectional garage door. We recommend performing maintenance at least twice a year, preferably during spring and fall.

What are the signs that my sectional garage door needs repair?

Signs that your garage door may need repair include:

Unusual noises during operation
Slow or jerky movement
Difficulty opening or closing
Misaligned or damaged panels
Sagging or imbalanced door
Inconsistent or non-responsive garage door opener

Can I attempt to repair my sectional garage door myself?

Garage door repair can be dangerous, especially if you lack the necessary experience and tools. It's best to leave repairs to trained professionals to avoid injury and further damage to the door.

How can I increase the lifespan of my sectional garage door?

To prolong the life of your sectional garage door, follow these tips:

Perform regular maintenance and inspections
Keep the tracks and rollers clean and lubricated
Avoid slamming the door shut
Ensure the door is balanced and properly aligned
Replace damaged or worn parts promptly

What should I do if my sectional garage door is stuck in the open position?

If your garage door is stuck open, avoid attempting to force it closed, as this could cause further damage. Instead, disconnect the door from the opener and manually close it, if possible. Then, call a professional garage door repair service to diagnose and fix the issue.

How do I know if my garage door opener is the problem or if the door itself needs repair?

To determine whether the issue lies with the garage door opener or the door itself, you can perform a simple test. Disconnect the door from the opener and try manually opening and closing it. If the door operates smoothly, the problem likely lies with the opener. If there are still issues, then the door may require repair.

What are some common garage door problems that require professional repair?

Some common garage door problems that necessitate professional repair include:

Broken or worn-out springs
Damaged cables or rollers
Bent or misaligned tracks
Faulty garage door opener
Panel or section replacement
Weather seal replacement

Is it necessary to replace the entire garage door if one panel is damaged?

In most cases, it is not necessary to replace the entire garage door if only one panel is damaged. Skilled technicians can often replace the damaged panel, matching it to the existing door's design and color.

How much does sectional garage door repair usually cost?

The cost of sectional garage door repair varies depending on the type and extent of the damage. Minor repairs may cost a few hundred dollars, while more significant repairs or part replacements could cost several hundred to a thousand dollars. It's best to get a quote from a professional garage door repair company for an accurate estimate.
