Common Garage Door Problems We Repair
Springs play a crucial role in the smooth operation of your garage door. Over time, they can wear out or break, leading to a garage door that won’t open or close properly. When a spring breaks, it can make a loud noise and leave your door inoperable. It’s essential to replace broken garage door springs promptly to avoid further damage.
Solution: Our technicians will carefully replace the broken springs with high-quality, durable alternatives, ensuring the door functions smoothly and safely.
Garage door tracks guide the door as it opens and closes. If these tracks become bent or misaligned due to an accident or wear and tear, the door may get stuck or operate unevenly. Misalignment can also lead to excessive noise during operation.
Solution: We realign or replace bent tracks, ensuring that your door operates smoothly and without obstruction. Proper track alignment is crucial for the longevity of your garage door system.
Cables work in conjunction with the springs to lift and lower the door. Worn or frayed cables can snap, potentially causing the door to fall unexpectedly, posing a significant safety risk. Regular inspection and timely replacement of worn cables are essential for safe operation.
Solution: We inspect and replace any damaged cables, ensuring that your garage door operates safely and reliably.
The garage door opener is the motorised device that controls the movement of the door. Issues like faulty wiring, worn-out gears, or sensor problems can lead to a non-responsive or erratically functioning opener.
Solution: We diagnose and repair opener issues, from electrical malfunctions to mechanical failures. In some cases, a complete replacement of the opener might be necessary for optimal performance.
Excessive noise during garage door operation can be caused by various issues, including worn rollers, loose hardware, or lack of lubrication. Not only is the noise annoying, but it can also indicate underlying problems that could lead to more significant issues if not addressed.
Solution: We identify the source of the noise, whether it’s from the rollers, hinges, or tracks, and perform the necessary repairs. Proper lubrication and replacement of worn parts can restore quiet operation.
If your garage door starts closing but then reverses, or if it doesn’t close all the way, it could be due to sensor issues, misaligned tracks, or obstructions. This is not only inconvenient but also compromises the security of your home.
Solution: We inspect and fix sensor alignment, clear any obstructions, and ensure that the tracks are properly aligned, allowing your door to close completely and securely.
- Regular Inspections: Our garage door technicians conduct thorough inspections of your garage door system, identifying potential issues before they become major problems.
- Lubrication: We apply high-quality lubricants to all moving parts, reducing friction and ensuring smooth operation.
- Safety Checks: We test the safety features of your garage door, such as auto-reverse mechanisms and photoelectric sensors, to ensure they are functioning correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions
In most cases, if the garage door panels are structurally sound and the motor is the only fault, a motor replacement is all you need. Full door replacement is worth considering if your door is 15 or more years old, the panels are damaged, or the cost of repairs is approaching the cost of a new door.
If you’re unsure, our team will give you a straight answer, walking you through different options, motors, and warranties. Request a quote or assessment today.
Uneven movement or shaking usually points to broken spring tension, a bent or misaligned track, worn rollers, or a frayed cable on one side. If you notice this, stop using the door. Continuing to operate it can worsen the damage and create a safety risk.
Springs and cables are not safe for DIY repair. Book an inspection with our garage door repairs team or call 1300 MY DOOR.
This usually comes down to one of four things:
- Frequency interference from a nearby device or neighbour’s remote
- A jammed button on your remote
- Faulty wall button wiring
- Control board issue
Start by checking whether your remote button is physically stuck. If it is, that’s likely the cause. Removing the remote battery temporarily can help isolate the issue.
If the door continues opening on its own after those checks, it’s worth getting the wiring and control board looked at. Contact us for a repair service or visit our garage door safety page for more information.
Most of the time it’s the remote, not the motor. Try these steps first:
- Replace the batteries
- If you suspect someone has changed your pin code, re-code the remote to the motor (steps on our FAQ page)
- Test the motor using the manual open, stop, and close buttons on the unit itself
If the motor responds to the manual buttons but not the remote, it’s a remote issue. If neither works, the motor likely needs a service — give us a call on 1300 MY DOOR.
Most garage door noise comes from worn rollers, loose hardware, or lack of lubrication. All of these are common after regular use. Here are a couple of checks you can do:
- Tighten any visibly loose bolts along the track and door panels
- Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the rollers, hinges, and springs
If the noise is a grinding or banging sound, stop using the door and call our repairs team. That type of noise usually points to a spring or cable fault that needs professional attention.
Here are a few maintenance checks you can do if your garage door won’t open or close:
- Check your power or power socket and make sure it’s live. Try plugging in another device such as a lamp or drill to see if they receive power.
- When using a remote or wall panel button, we need to check if the motor is working properly. Press the red button on your motor unit. If your door opens or closes, your motor is working fine. The issue is likely with the remote or the wall panel.
- Change your remote’s batteries
If none of these work, you can manually open your door with the pull cord. Make sure you pull it firmly but not forcefully since it could snap.
Our emergency services team can help you find the issue. Call them on 1300 MY DOOR.
