REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
All things mechanical need care and attention to keep them in optimal working condition
Maintenance of your door and opener is critical to ensuring its smooth, quiet, reliable operation, and in most cases is necessary to ensure your warranty remains valid.
DOORS
COLORBOND AND COLOURED STEEL FINISH DOORS
Your coloured steel door has been pre-painted with a silicone modified polyester formulation, which is one of the best paint films available today. However good a product may be, all exposed surfaces require some attention to guard against corrosion and any other harmful atmospheric effects.
Washing the door with clean water and a cloth every 14 days is recommended. More frequent washing is advised in salty or industrial fallout areas.
Remember, when you think of cleaning your car… clean your door!
NOTE: DO NOT WASH THE AUTOMATIC OPENER, IT WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND COULD CAUSE ELECTROCUTION.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE REQUIRED
It is recommended that you check the operation of your door at least every three to six months (more regularly in extreme environments or frequent use). The effort required to manually open and to manually close the door should be about the same (if door has an automatic opener, put into manual mode before testing door).
NOTE: IF CORRECT MAINTENANCE & SERVICING ARE NOT CARRIED OUT, WARRANTY MAY BE VOID.
REPAIRS
As your door and motor age, regular maintenance prolongs the life of all the parts of the door from wear and tear eventually occur and breakages do occur.
All Stars has full experience with Garage Doors and can tackle all the jobs such as:
- Cables – these can show their signs of age when they start to fray. Watch out for this and get them changed before one breaks. We change out galvanized cables with stainless steel ones to ensure greater longevity. If the door is bumped down onto something hard while operating this can cause the cables to come off
- Springs – these carry the weight of the door and hold it under tension. Over time these can break.
- Tracks can need cleaning
- Hinges can come loose and/or break and need tightening or replacing
- Circuit boards, fuses and capacitors can blow as the motor ages
- Sprockets and gears can wear out
- Remotes can lose their code, buttons and contacts wear out or just more needed
ALL THESE ISSUES AND MORE CAN BE TACKLED BY OUR EXPERIENCED SERVICE TEAM – JUST GIVE US A CALL:
DO NOT PLACE YOUR FINGERS NEAR ANY MOVING PARTS OR BETWEEN THE DOOR PANELS WHEN THE DOOR IS OPERATING EITHER AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY.
AUTOMATIC OPENERS:
If you have an automatic opener fitted to your door it is important that you ensure the optimum operation of your door, otherwise you may reduce the effective life of the opener, and void your opener warranty. For more information refer to the maintenance schedule in your opener’s instruction handbook.
