Roller Door Repairs in Craigieburn

It depends on which part has failed and on the size of the door, since realigning a guide is a very different job to replacing a spring and axle assembly or a section of curtain. Price is also affected by whether the door has been run while jammed, because that causes secondary damage to the curtain and guides. We inspect on site, show you the failed component, and give you a fixed price for the repair before any work starts. Where a full curtain replacement is worth considering, we price both options so you can compare. Call 0406 723 086 to book an inspection.

Usually, yes. We are based in Craigieburn and work across the northern suburbs, and we answer the phone seven days a week from 7am to 9pm, so most local roller door calls are attended the same day or the next. Tell us when you call if the door is stuck open and the garage cannot be secured, or stuck closed with a car or tools trapped inside, and we will prioritise it. There is no weekend loading on our pricing. For non-urgent repairs we book a time window that suits you rather than leaving you waiting all day.

Stop operating it. Running the opener against a jammed curtain is what turns a guide alignment problem into bent slats and a damaged drum, and it can burn out the motor as well. Do not try to force the curtain up or down by hand, because if the spring inside the barrel has failed the door can drop without warning. Keep children, pets and cars out from under the opening, and if the garage is not secure, move anything valuable out of reach. Call 0406 723 086 and describe what happened just before it stuck, as that usually tells us what has failed.

It depends where the damage is and how far it runs. Damage confined to the bottom slat or two, which is where most car, trailer and bin contact happens, can generally be repaired or those slats replaced without touching the rest of the curtain. Where the bend or crease runs across most of the width, several slats are deformed, or the curtain has been forced in a break-in and no longer sits flat in the guides, a full curtain replacement is the more sensible spend. Rust through the base of an older curtain also usually points to replacement. We show you the damage and price both paths where the choice is genuine.

We focus on residential roller doors, which covers domestic garages, carport conversions and the roller doors on units and townhouses right across the northern suburbs. We do take on light commercial roller doors of a similar size and construction, such as those on small workshops and storage units, which is common work around the Campbellfield and Somerton industrial pockets. Large industrial shutters, high-cycle and fire-rated doors are specialist equipment and we will tell you plainly when a job falls outside what we take on, rather than attempting it. Call 0406 723 086 with the door size and location and we will give you a straight answer.

Noise on a roller door usually comes from four places: dry or failing bearings on the axle, grit and debris packed into the guides, a curtain winding unevenly on the drum, or a spring that has lost tension so the motor is dragging the door rather than assisting it. A grinding or metallic scraping sound is worth attending to quickly, because it generally means metal is wearing against metal every time you use the door. Some of this is a servicing job, involving cleaning out the guides and correcting the tension, and some of it needs parts. We will tell you which after inspecting, and quote before we start.
