“Durban Door Services installed our automatic garage door some years ago, after all the other companies were unable to assist because of its unusual size! They service and maintain the equipment on a regular basis, and are always on hand if there are any unforeseen problems. We have always found their services to be swift and efficient. Thank you Clive and the DDS Team.”

Tips & Tricks



CLEANLINESS IS KEY

Durban Door Services recommends that you regularly clean garage doors, The more regularly you clean garage doors, the more money you will end up saving on repairs. Use a mild detergent to remove corrosive chemicals and dirt, especially around the cables, springs and the top of a roll-up door curtain. This will allow you to monitor their condition very carefully.



CLEAN CABLES AND SPRINGS

Don't service or repair them. These systems are under extreme tension and pressure, and an injury can occur in the blink of an eye. Only a qualified professional should work on them. This is an essential safety tip.



SAFETY TIP

If your garage door is damaged, even only slightly dented, it is still very important to seek professional assistance. An operating system may be damaged which will cause premature wear, and result in a dangerous environment later on. Always ensure that the safety of your work staff (if your garage door is an industrial one), or your family at home (if you have automated garage doors at home) comes first.

Annual Inspections



CHECK ALL BOLTS

While we strongly encourage you to leave repairs and service to professionals, you can check all the bolts, nuts, screws, springs and cables. If something is loose, tighten it. These parts are responsible for allowing the doors to move smoothly. If a component is clearly worn, call a professional to replace it.



PRODUCTS

Using the right cleaning and maintenance products is key. Never use grease on the runners or tracks, it encourages the build-up of dust and dirt. Instead, use a light spray with WD-40 or Q-20 on the other parts. A grease lubricant can be used if it is a roller shutter.



SAVE YOUR MONEY

Remember that performing these basic checks can save you money and time, whether it is in your business or at home. By delaying or avoiding these inspections you may end up having to replace valuable parts, like the motor, the torsion springs or even the entire system!
