Common garage door problems in Thirsk
Doors that are hard to lift
A door that has become heavy usually has worn or broken springs. We replace and re-tension them so it opens easily again.
Making a door electric
We fit openers to suitable up and over doors, or replace the door with an electric roller or sectional door with remote controls.
Faulty remotes and motors
Remotes that no longer work and motors that hum but won’t move. We repair the opener and supply new remotes.

Easy-to-use garage doors
Thirsk and Sowerby have a mix of older brick and stone houses, bungalows and newer estates, with rural homes and outbuildings in the villages around them. For many of our customers, the priority is a door that is light, reliable and easy to open.
An electric door opens at the press of a button from the car or the house, so there is no heavy lifting and no stepping out in the rain. We fit new electric roller and sectional doors and add openers to suitable up and over doors.
