Broken Spring Repairs — FAQs
The questions our customers ask most about this service.
My remote has stopped working — is it the remote or the motor?+
Usually it's the simple stuff first — a flat remote battery, or the remote needing to be re-coded to the motor. If a new battery and re-code doesn't do it, the fault may be in the motor's receiver or the wall control. We can supply and program replacement or spare remotes for all the major brands (B&D, Merlin, ATA, Boss, Centurion and more). Bring us the model or send a photo of your motor and we'll sort out the right handset.
Can my old door be repaired, or do I need a whole new one?+
Often it can be repaired, and that's always where we start. Springs, cables, rollers, motors and even single panels can usually be replaced far more cheaply than a full door. We'll give you an honest assessment — if a repair will genuinely last and save you money, we'll tell you. If your door is old, rusted through or no longer safe, we'll explain why a replacement is the better long-term value rather than throwing good money after bad.
Do you offer emergency or same-day repairs?+
Yes. A stuck door can leave your car locked in (or your home exposed), so we carry the common parts on all our vehicles and aim to get to urgent jobs the same day wherever we can. We also have an after-hours line on 0450 382 646 for genuine emergencies like storm damage or a door that won't secure. Call the office first on (07) 4615 4481 and we'll get you sorted as fast as we can.
Why is my garage door suddenly so heavy to lift by hand?+
A properly balanced door should be fairly easy to lift and should more or less stay put when you leave it halfway. If it's suddenly heavy, or drops straight down when you let go, that's a classic sign of a broken or tired spring. Don't keep forcing it — a heavy, unbalanced door puts strain on the motor and can be dangerous. It's a quick diagnosis for us and usually a same-day spring replacement.
