Mobile roller door repairs, right across Perth

We repair roller doors across Perth, both manual and motorised, on homes and garages.

The single most useful thing to know is that a buckled roller door is usually repairable. Homeowners often assume a wrinkled curtain means a new door, and sometimes it does, but very often the sheet can be worked back into the guides and the actual cause fixed, which is normally the spring assembly in the drum, a worn guide, or a bent bottom rail.

What we repair on roller doors:

Curtains that have come out of the side guides

Cables and drums at the top of the opening

Spring and axle assemblies inside the drum that have lost tension or failed

Rollers and bearings. Checked and lubricated. Worn rollers flagged.

Doors that are far too heavy to lift, or that fly up and slam down

Bent, dented or corroded bottom rails

Rusted and corroded guides, which is a Perth coastal speciality

Doors that bind, stick or screech on the way up

Roller door motors that have failed, and motors fitted to manual doors

Locks, handles and keys on manual roller doors

Doors damaged by a car, a storm or a break-in

Signs your roller door needs repair

Ring us if your roller door is doing any of this.

If the curtain is out of the guides, stop operating the door. Every attempt to force it makes the buckling worse and turns a repair into a replacement.

The curtain has come out of one or both side guides.

The door has buckled or wrinkled at the top and will not travel.

The door rides up crooked, one side higher than the other.

The door is heavy to lift by hand, which usually means the spring assembly in the drum has lost tension.

The door flies up too fast or slams down, which means the spring is over-tensioned or the door is out of balance.

The door screeches, grinds or squeals as it moves.

The door sticks or binds part way and needs a shove.

The guides or bottom rail are visibly rusted, especially within a few kilometres of the coast.

The bottom rail is bent or dented, often after a reversing car.

The motor runs but the door does not move, or the motor strains and cuts out.

The door will not lock, or the key no longer turns.

Roller doors near the coast

Perth is a coastal city and salt air is hard on a roller door. The guides corrode. The bottom rail rusts from underneath where you cannot see it. The spring and axle assembly inside the drum rusts and loses tension. The curtain itself starts to bloom with rust spots along the bottom.

The doors we see in the worst condition are the ones nobody has serviced in a decade. The doors we see in the best condition, in exactly the same street and the same salt air, are the ones that get an annual service. It is not complicated and it is the difference between a routine service and a new door.

Who you will be dealing with

Why Perth locals trust us with a roller door repair

Roller doors get treated as an afterthought by a lot of garage door companies, who would rather sell you a new sectional door than spend an afternoon getting a curtain back into its guides and diagnosing a drum assembly.

We repair them properly and we will tell you straight whether yours is worth saving. If a curtain is beyond repair, we will say so. If it can be fixed for a fraction of a new door, we will say that too.

We do the work ourselves, and our customers keep mentioning the same thing: we give "regular updates on expected time of arrival." You know when we are coming.

Perth mobile service covering the Perth metro area, north to Alkimos, south to Mandurah and east to Kalamunda.

“Amazing service, regular updates on expected time of arrival. Can not fault anything. Very happy customer.”

Questions

Roller door repairs in Perth: common questions

My roller door has come out of its guides. Can it be fixed?

Usually, yes. If the curtain is not badly creased it can often be worked back into the guides and the underlying cause repaired, which is normally a worn guide, a bent bottom rail, or a spring assembly that has lost tension. Stop operating the door, because forcing it makes the buckling worse.

Why is my roller door so heavy to lift?

The spring assembly inside the drum has lost tension or failed. That spring carries the weight of the curtain, so once it goes you are lifting the full weight of the door yourself. It is a repairable fault and it is a common one. Do not keep hauling on it, ring 0455 515 428.

How much does a roller door repair cost in Perth?

It depends on the fault. Re-tracking a curtain, replacing a bottom rail, and rebuilding a spring assembly are all different jobs at different prices, so we quote the job rather than posting a list price. Ring 0455 515 428 and describe the door. For the common faults we can usually give you a figure, or a tight range, on the phone, and you hear the price before any work starts.

My roller door is rusty. Does it need replacing?

Not necessarily. Surface rust on the guides and the bottom rail is very common in coastal Perth and both parts can be replaced individually without touching the curtain. Rust that has eaten through the curtain itself is a different story. We will tell you which one you have.

Can a manual roller door be automated?

Yes. A motor can be fitted to most manual roller doors, provided the door is in reasonable condition and the spring assembly is sound. The door has to be balanced correctly first, because a motor fitted to a heavy, unbalanced roller door will burn out. Ring for pricing.

How often should a roller door be serviced?

Every 12 months, and every 6 months if you are near the coast. The service covers the guides, the bottom rail, the curtain, the spring assembly and the motor. Salt air corrodes roller door components faster than almost anything else in Perth, and a service is what keeps that in check.
