What Our Garage Door Maintence Includes

Comprehensive Inspection: During a garage door service appointment, our technicians conduct a thorough inspection of all components of your garage door system. This includes examining the door panels, springs, cables, rollers, tracks, hinges, and any other hardware to ensure they are in good condition and functioning properly.

Lubrication of Moving Parts: Proper lubrication is essential for keeping your garage door operating smoothly and quietly. Our technicians apply lubricant to all moving parts, including hinges, rollers, springs, and tracks, to reduce friction and prevent premature wear and tear.

Tightening and Adjustments: Over time, the hardware of your garage door can become loose due to regular use and vibrations. During the service appointment, our technicians carefully inspect and tighten any loose bolts, nuts, screws, and other hardware to ensure that your garage door remains secure and stable.

Testing Safety Features: Safety is paramount when it comes to garage door operation. Our technicians test the safety features of your garage door system, including the auto-reverse mechanism and photoelectric sensors, to ensure they are functioning correctly. These safety features are designed to prevent accidents and injuries by stopping the door from closing if an obstruction is detected.

Alignment of Tracks and Rollers: Misaligned tracks and rollers can cause your garage door to operate unevenly or become stuck. Our technicians inspect the tracks and rollers for proper alignment and make any necessary adjustments to ensure smooth and consistent operation.

Checking Tension and Balance: Garage door springs play a crucial role in counterbalancing the weight of the door and ensuring smooth operation. Our technicians inspect the tension and balance of the springs and make adjustments as needed to maintain proper tension and balance.

Cleaning and Maintenance: A clean garage door not only enhances the appearance of your home but also helps prevent corrosion and damage to the door’s surface. Our technicians clean the exterior of your garage door and remove any dirt, debris, or rust buildup. Additionally, we may recommend applying a protective coating to help prolong the life of your garage door.

Diagnostic Testing: If your garage door is experiencing any issues or unusual noises, our technicians perform diagnostic testing to identify the root cause of the problem. Once the issue is diagnosed, we provide recommendations for repair or replacement parts as needed.

Overall, our goal during a garage door service appointment is to ensure that your door operates safely, smoothly, and efficiently for years to come. With our comprehensive maintenance services, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your garage door is in top condition.

Steve came on the time, he is efficient, truly professional and expert. My garage was fixed quickly. I will definitely recommend this company to my family and friends.

James To

Wow so impressed with Eastern Garage Doors! After having another company out previously that were no help I’d say look no further than these guys! From my first call to Carolyn it was fantastic. Great follow up to confirm they could do the job and Steve the Tradesman was FANTASTIC! He arrived on time and explained what needed to be done. Couldn’t recommend Steve highly enough. The whole process was very professional thank you!

Elizabeth Medhurst

I had an issue with my manually operated rear garage roller door coming out of it's guides and couldn't get it back in. I rang one highly rated garage door company in Bayswater twice but got zero replies back. I then rang Eastern Garage Doors who quoted me a fixed call out fee of $160 to fix the door issue and also a price to install a motor for that same door. Steve came out two days later, on time and he was brilliant. Retensioning the roller door so that it would go back into it's guides was a major effort and Steve's expertise was on full display. There was no way I could have done that. The installation of the motor was relatively simple. Great service, great price, great company... a rarity these days. I could not recommend Eastern Garage Doors highly enough and will definitely use them again if a problem arises.

An old B&D 4 was dying by degrees and I got an excellent quote to supply and install a MERLIN unit from EGC.
Great price all up included, actually not a lot more than some selling just the hardware on eBay
Fantastic communications with Danielle and Georgie getting it all scheduled and installed. SO easy to deal with and so on the ball.
Darren came punctually and got it all installed.
He troubleshot the old one quickly just to see, but it was beyond all help. We both had a laugh about 30 years we got from it though.
He cleaned up spotlessly crushing the boxes neatly into our recycling bin.
Showed us how it worked, demonstrated the finer points.
Took the old one away to garage door opener graveyard.
Company vehicle spotless, Darren well presented, groomed and a safe careful worker.

Every 2-3 years or at the first sign of problems.

Garage doors are large, heavy, and complex systems that require careful handling and expertise to maintain and repair. Attempting to repair a garage door without proper knowledge and tools can lead to severe consequences, both in terms of safety and further damage.

Common issues include broken springs, misaligned tracks, faulty openers, and worn-out rollers.

Auto reversing - sometimes your door will close and re-open - this indicates a service is due.

It's recommended to service your garage door at least every 2-3 years or at the first sign of problems. If you're experiencing any issues, give us a call, and we can discuss what's happening and determine whether you need a service.

Failing to maintain your garage door can lead to significant problems, including damaging or shortening the lifespan of your garage door motor. Regular maintenance helps ensure your door operates smoothly and efficiently, preventing costly repairs and extending the life of your motor.

Doors take 2-3 weeks to be manufactured, the install will take between 2-4 hours depending on the complexity of your install.

Usually we can work around this and fit a head panel to accommodate the door.

In most instances yes - but sometimes it is just not possible.

Yes we can fit a taper to the bottom of the door to allow for a fall in the ground.

If the ground has a bump in the middle there is not a lot we can do.

All garage doors are custom made to fit so there is no strange size.

Belt drive openers are better, they are very quiet and cleaner.

We accept credit card, bank transfer and cash. All credit card payments attract a 1.5% fee.
Payment is due on completion of the work.
