Safety FAQ

Common questions about garage door safety and repairs.

Is it safe to keep using my garage door if it is not working properly?

If the door is heavy, tilted, catching or stuck, stop forcing it and keep clear of springs, cables and moving panels until it has been checked.

Should I try to repair a broken spring or snapped cable myself?

No. Springs and cables hold stored force and can move suddenly. The safest route is specialist assessment before movement or adjustment.

What photos help with diagnosis?

Useful photos show the whole door, both tracks, springs or cables if visible, the opener unit, and any loose or tilted area.
