Roller doors are a common sight on many Australian homes and businesses. Not only do they provide an additional layer of security that many people love, but they also protect the house from environmental damage like hail and debris. If your roller door has taken quite a beating recently and has started to behave badly then it might be time to consider roller door repairs. Roller door repairs can make your roller door run as smoothly as it did when it was brand new. Here are the three most common roller door repair jobs that could help you.
Malfunctioning Motor
Perhaps the most common problem with roller doors is the very motors that run them. There is nothing quite as frustrating as having a roller door refuse to open and it can be tempting to just remove the door entirely, especially if this problem has happened a few times. Luckily, there is quite an easy fix to most motor issues, it just requires a more expert touch. Perhaps the electrical connection is loose or one of the circuits inside the motor has deteriorated over the many years you have had it. Whatever the case, most motors can be repaired quite quickly as they are relatively simple devices, so always call for an expert before giving in.
Off The Tracks
Apart from motor troubles, roller doors moving off the tracks is one of the most prevalent problems with roller doors. While it might seem like an easy fix you can do yourself (after all, how hard can it be to put the metal slats back on track?) this should actually always be left to the professionals because you are liable to do more harm than good. Putting roller doors back on the track is not as simple as it looks, a fact you will quickly realise when it is too late to stop. Roller door repair services have the tools and equipment to get you back on track in a matter of minutes.
Broken Section
If a part of your roller door is broken, but not the whole door, then it might be salvageable. Spot repairs happen more often than you think because roller doors are going to come into contact with all sorts of tough materials and, eventually, some of these will dent, scratch and break your roller door. If your door is modular, then that section might be removed. If your door is all one big piece that cannot be taken apart individually, then you might need to patch it up with a similar length of metal material. Either way, roller door repairs can help, so don't throw out your whole door without checking with an expert first.

Hello! My name is Drake and this is my blog. I have written a number of different blogs over the past few years and each one has focused on a different subject. The topic I am going to explore on this blog is the installation and maintenance of different types of doors in your home or workplace. I was introduced to this area of knowledge by my uncle who works in the door manufacturing industry. I visited his factory and even went out with his crew as they installed new doors. I learnt so many cool things that I decided I would write about them here.
