Garage Door Repairs in Cambridge

A garage door is the largest moving part of most homes, so when the springs tire or the mechanism sticks it quickly becomes a daily frustration, and a heavy door under tension is not something to fight with. We repair and adjust garage doors so they open smoothly and close securely.

Across Cambridge and the surrounding area we service up-and-over and roller doors, replacing worn springs and cables, freeing seized mechanisms and fitting or repairing automation. Where a door is beyond economical repair we will say so and talk you through the options.

What our garage door repairs service includes

Every property and every job is a little different, but a typical garage door repairs booking with us covers work such as:

  • Replacing broken springs and cables
  • Freeing seized and stiff mechanisms
  • Adjusting and realigning tracks and rollers
  • Repairing up-and-over and roller doors
  • Fitting and repairing electric openers
  • Replacing locks and handles
  • Lubricating and servicing moving parts
  • Advice on repair versus replacement

Not sure whether your particular job fits? Just ask. If it is something we cannot help with ourselves, we will usually be able to point you towards someone trustworthy who can.

Garage Door Repairs: your questions answered

My garage door is too heavy to lift — why?

That is usually a failed or weakened spring. The spring carries the weight of the door, and replacing it restores easy operation.

Can you add an electric opener?

Yes. We fit automation to many existing doors, with remote controls and safety features.

Is a sticking door worth repairing?

Often yes. Many doors that stick or jam simply need realignment, lubrication or a worn part replaced rather than a new door.
