Garage door repairs Hobart
B&D provides professional garage door maintenance and repair services in Hobart and Tasmania
A good-quality garage door that’s been installed by a professional can last a lifetime if it’s correctly maintained. Servicing your door is just as important as servicing your car.
Like the engine, your garage door is made up of several moving parts designed to lift and lower the door, so regular services keep it in safe and functional working order and maintain its longevity. Ongoing servicing is also required to maintain your 10-Year Total Confidence Warranty.
No matter which garage door or motor you have, you should aim to have it serviced once in the first 12 months after installation and every two years thereafter.

Our Hobart repairers can fix some of the most common garage door problems, including:
- Garage door stuck in open or closed position
Your garage door may occasionally fail to open or close properly. This problem, common in both sectional and roller doors, could be due to blockages in the tracks, malfunctioning springs, or damaged cables. This often requires an emergency repair.
- Squeaking garage door
If your garage door is making squeaking noises, it's likely a sign that it needs more lubrication, the tracks are not properly aligned, or the rollers are wearing out. Regular maintenance is recommended to avoid these issues in both sectional and roller garage doors.
- Non-responsive to the remote control
Issues with your automatic garage door not responding to the remote control can stem from sensors that are out of alignment, signal interference, or a drained remote battery.
- Broken garage door panel
Regular use or direct impacts can lead to damaged sectional garage door panels. Ignoring this damage can affect the door's functionality and security.
- Strange sounds from opener motor
If you're hearing odd sounds from the motor of your automatic garage door, it could indicate worn-out parts or loose components. Our technicians can diagnose and resolve the issue.
- Bent garage door track
A bent track on your garage door is often the result of a strong impact or sometimes due to incorrect installation. This can affect the operation of both sectional and roller doors.
- Opener motor is running non-stop
Should the motor of your automatic garage door run continuously, it could point to a malfunction or incorrect settings in the limit switch.
- Garage door is opening and closing slowly
A slow garage door, regardless of its type, might be caused by motor issues, insufficient lubrication, or problems with the spring tension.
- Jammed or unmoving roller door
When a roller door becomes jammed or won't move, it may need an adjustment in the spring tension, or there might be obstructions or alignment issues with the tracks.

Emergency Repairs Emergency Repairs Emergency RepairsWhy you shouldn’t ignore a broken garage door spring or cables
Overlooking damaged springs or cables in your garage door is hazardous. These components are crucial for the secure and effective functioning of both sectional and roller doors. Their failure can threaten the entire system and pose a safety hazard.
- Broken garage door spring
- Broken garage door cables
The springs in garage doors, especially sectional ones, bear significant tension and are key to the door's operation. A snapped spring can lead to an imbalanced door or complete operational failure. Ignoring a broken spring risks damage to vehicles, injury to people nearby, and harm to other parts of the garage door, potentially resulting in more extensive and expensive repairs.
DIY spring repair is highly discouraged due to the complexity and potential danger involved. Our network of experienced professionals is equipped with the necessary tools and knowledge to safely handle these repairs.
In sectional garage doors, cables play a vital role in moving the door. A snapped cable can cause the door to fall unpredictably, presenting serious risks like injury or property damage. Without functioning cables, your garage door becomes unreliable and unsafe.
Attempting cable repairs yourself is risky, given the tension involved in the system. Professional repair is essential, as it's about more than just having the right tools; it's about understanding the door's counterbalance system. Our trained professionals are adept at managing these risks and ensuring repairs meet safety standards.
