How a roller door works

A roller door is a single steel curtain that coils around a drum above the opening. Springs inside the drum (the “barrel”) are wound up to balance the weight of the curtain, so the door should lift easily by hand and stay where you leave it.

Over time those springs lose tension, the guides collect dirt, and knocks from cars or wheelie bins push the curtain out of line. The result is a door that’s heavy, noisy or jammed. In many cases the fix is to re-tension the springs, clean and lubricate the guides, and straighten or re-seat the curtain.

Repair, re-tension or replace?

Re-tension

If the door is heavy, won't stay up, or drops. This resets the spring balance.

Repair

If a guide, wheel, lock, bracket or the bottom rail is damaged, or the door has come out of its guides.

Replace

If the curtain is badly creased or torn, the drum is damaged beyond repair, or the door is very old and parts aren't available. See new garage doors.

We’ll tell you which applies when we see the door. If you’re on the coast, around Redcliffe or Bribie Island, rust on the springs and guides is common and worth checking for.

Safety first

The springs in a roller door drum are wound under tension. Don’t try to adjust them or remove the drum yourself. If the door has dropped or come out of its guides, stop using it, keep the opener off, and call us.

For a stiff door you can safely wipe out the guides and apply a silicone spray. Our guide on fixing a squeaky roller door covers the basics.

  • Izaac came out the same day to fix our garage and shed door. Very friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Worked until early evening to finish job. Definitely recommend.

    Martin B.Google review

  • Cannot recommend Izaac highly enough. A late afternoon crash bang and a roller door screeching open was no problem for him. Am sure he was on the way home but couldn't have been helpful enough. The ageing door needed quite a bit of readjusting but he wouldnt leave…

FAQs

Roller door questions

Can’t see your question? Call us on 0490 410 296, any time.

The springs in the drum have probably lost tension. Re-tensioning restores the balance so the door lifts easily and stays up. It’s a job for a technician because the springs are under load.

It can be. A door that drops on its own can hurt someone or damage a car. Stop using it and call us to re-tension it.

Minor dents and bows can often be eased out or worked around. A badly creased curtain usually catches in the drum and needs replacing.

Usually, yes, as long as the door is in good condition and balanced. We’ll check the door first. See openers and remotes.
