Common Roller Door Issues & Signs It’s Time to Call Us
Roller doors are built to last, but like any moving system, they can start to show signs of wear over time. Some problems are obvious, and others appear slowly. A few of the most common issues we see include:
- A door that won’t open or close fully, often linked to motor faults, damaged slats, worn rollers, or electrical issues.
- Grinding or scraping noises—signs that parts are rubbing, misaligned, or in need of lubrication.
- A door that drops or jerks during movement, usually linked to balance problems or damage inside the mechanism.
- The door sticking halfway, with dirt, worn guides, or electrical faults often the culprit.
- Cold draughts or gaps, indicating misalignment or worn seals that need attention.
Alongside clear issues, there are gentler signs that your door may soon need help. Property owners in Swindon often tell us they noticed slow opening, controls that don’t respond quickly, or rattling during high winds. These signals usually point to faulty roller doors that warrant early attention.
Prompt repairs prevent bigger problems and keep the door safe. We always encourage people to get in touch if their roller door starts behaving differently, as early intervention often keeps costs down and avoids the need for emergency roller door repairs later on.
