A Guide to Basic Roller Door Maintenance

Just like any electrical component of your home, safety is always first. If you aren't confident with what you are doing, always call a professional in.

Regular roller door maintenance is a good habit to develop. You will get year's more use out of your door with the right care.

With regular care and maintenance, you can get many more years of good use out of your roller door. A simple check over once or twice a year will make sure your garage door remains in top working order.

Check for Minor Dents That Need Attention

Start by checking the tracks of your roller door system to make sure there are no newly acquired dents or signs of significant wear that you notice. For smaller dents along your roller door tracks, a hammer can slightly straighten these out. Make sure you proceed with caution using a rubber mallet and only tend to these dents if very minor. If you aren't sure, leave it and contact us for a professional assessment.

Make Sure the Roller Door Tracks Align

If the alignment of your roller door tracks is out, this can cause unnecessary wear and tear on your roller door over time. Check the alignment of your roller door with a spirit leveller to make sure they are equal. If you do notice these are out, we would be more than happy to arrange a proper assessment to have this corrected by our professional team.

Clean Away Any Debris From the Tracks

To keep your roller door running at it's very best, you need to make sure the tracks are kept clean and free from any dirt build up. Using a vacuum cleaner, carefully remove any dirt that may potentially block your roller door tracks.

Make Sure your Roller Door System is Lubricated

Regular lubrication is essential to keep mechanical parts running smoothly. This helps to reduce overall wear and tear. We recommend you use a product designed specifically for roller door systems to make sure not to cause any damage to your unit or parts.

Keeping All Components Tightened Up

Look over the nuts, bolts and fasteners of your roller door to make sure nothing has come loose over time. Using a screwdriver, carefully tighten any fixings that may need attention.

Cables & Springs

Look over the cables and springs of your roller door to note if there is any damage or signs of wear. We recommend these alterations are only done by a professional so if you do notice anything, be sure to contact 1st Choice Roller Doors right away.

Raise the Energy Efficiency of Your Home

Are you conscious of how energy efficient your home really is? We are seeing a rise spend for the the average home on power bills as we try to maintain comfortable temperatures. One key component to consider is how much heat or cool your garage door may be letting out.

Standard roller doors provide no insulation from the elements so your garage goes through stages of extreme hot or cold depending on the weather. This impacts the temperature of your home too and overall, your home's energy efficiency.

The latest innovation by Eco Garage Doors is the newly designed Insulated garage door system. This system has been created to help regulate the temperature inside of your garage and maintain stable conditions.

Using a polyester resin injected foam panelling system, these insulated panels are able to keep noise and temperatures at better levels.

Turning your Garage into a Man Cave with the Addition of an Insulated Panel Lift Garage Door

You can reduce the noise coming from or entering your garage by up to 75% which is a great improvement. Another benefit alongside noise reduction is having your garage as a temperature controlled zone that can now work as a "bonus room" at home.

If you are tight on space or looking for an area to create a home gym or office, an insulated roller door will create the ideal conditions.

The panels of Eco insulated roller doors are designed with finger protection technology to keep fingers safe. This system also creates a flush panel design so less air can travel through your roller door improving sound and temperature as well.
