Most of the technical guides have been specially produced by myself in order to help people with the fitting of the new garage door part!
*I am constantly updating and adding more Fitting Instructions to the site, if the fitting instructions for your garage door part are not here please ask for help.*

The guides will help you with:

How to replace cables to up and over doors.

How to change Garage Door Cables

How to change Garage Door Roller Spindles

How to add more tension to a Garage Door Main Spring.

*SAFETY NOTE*

Before attempting to carry out any maintenance or repairs to a Garage Door please read carefully any Instructions provided for that particular make of door.

The springs on Garage Door are usually held under a good deal tension!

Before any work is attempted on the Garage Door, the tension on the spring or springs must be isolated or released, only after this has been done can any work be done in saftey!

Please make sure before any work is carried out that you have read any Instructions carefully and you also have the correct parts and tools neccasary to complete the work!

*All work is undertaken at your own risk*
