Here are some common indicators that it might be time to call us for a professional assessment:
✗ Unusual Noises: If your door makes grinding, squeaking, or banging sounds during operation, it could indicate issues with the door’s components, such as the springs, cables, or rollers.
✗ Slow or Unresponsive Door: A door that opens or closes slowly, or doesn’t respond to the remote control, might have a problem with the opener or the door’s balance.
✗ Visible Damage: Cracks, dents, or other visible damages to the door panels, tracks, or other parts can compromise the door’s performance and safety.
✗ Door Doesn’t Close Properly: If your door doesn’t close all the way or reverses before hitting the floor, there could be an issue with the sensors or alignment.
✗ Sagging Door Sections: Over time, certain parts of the door may start to sag. This can be particularly noticeable when the door is closed, and it can indicate structural problems.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to contact the experts at Swan Garage Doors. We’ll provide a thorough inspection and fast repairs to ensure your door operates safely and efficiently.

Selecting the right provider is crucial for ensuring quality and reliability. Here are some key factors to consider when choosing a professional service:
Check Credentials: Ensure the company is licensed and insured. This protects you in case of any accidents or damage during the repair process.
Experience and Expertise: Look for a provider with a solid track record in commercial and residential repairs. Experienced technicians are more likely to diagnose and fix issues efficiently.
Customer Reviews: Read reviews and testimonials from previous customers. Positive feedback and high ratings are good indicators of a reliable service.
Transparency in Pricing: A professional company should provide clear, upfront pricing without hidden fees. Request detailed quotes to compare costs and services.
Warranty and Guarantees: Reliable providers stand by their work with warranties on parts and labour. This ensures peace of mind that the repairs will last.
Prompt and Reliable Service: Choose a company known for timely responses and efficient service. Delays in repairs can lead to further inconvenience and damage.
Comprehensive Services: Opt for a provider that offers a wide range of services, from minor repairs to full replacements, ensuring they can handle any issue that arises.
Local Expertise: Local companies, like Swan Garage Doors, are familiar with the common issues in your area and can provide more tailored solutions.
Here are the most common repairs you may encounter:
Spring Replacement: Springs bear the weight of the door, making them prone to wear and tear. Broken springs are a common issue and require professional replacement to ensure safety.
Cable Repair/Replacement: Cables work in tandem with the springs to lift and lower the door. Frayed or broken cables can cause the door to operate unevenly or not at all.
Track Alignment: Tracks can become bent or misaligned, causing the door to operate improperly. Realigning or replacing tracks is essential for smooth operation.
Opener Repair/Replacement: Issues with the door opener, such as motor malfunctions or remote control problems, are common. Repairs can range from simple fixes to full replacements.
Roller Replacement: Worn-out rollers can cause the door to be noisy and operate roughly. Replacing the rollers can restore smooth and quiet functionality.
Sensor Adjustment/Replacement: Doors have safety sensors that prevent them from closing on objects or people. Misaligned or faulty sensors can cause the door to malfunction.
Panel Replacement: Damaged or dented panels not only affect the door’s appearance but also its functionality. Replacing individual panels can be more cost-effective than replacing the entire door.
Weather Seal Replacement: The weather seal at the bottom of the door can wear out, leading to drafts and water leaks. Replacing the seal helps maintain energy efficiency and protects the garage interior.
Comprehensive Tune-Up: Regular maintenance, including lubrication of moving parts and inspection of the overall system, can prevent many common issues and extend the life of your door.
While some minor maintenance tasks can be handled by homeowners, such as lubricating moving parts or tightening loose bolts, most garage door repairs should be left to professionals.
Here’s why:
Safety Concerns: Doors are heavy and operate under high tension. Attempting to repair springs, cables, or other high-tension parts can be extremely dangerous and may result in serious injury.
Complexity of Repairs: Modern doors have complex mechanisms and components that require specialised tools and knowledge to repair correctly. Incorrect repairs can lead to further damage or malfunction.
Warranty Issues: Many doors come with warranties that may be voided if repairs are attempted by someone who is not a certified technician. Professional repairs ensure your warranty remains valid.
Accurate Diagnosis: Professionals have the experience to accurately diagnose the problem and fix it correctly the first time. DIY repairs might not address the root cause, leading to recurring issues.
Time and Effort: Professional technicians can complete repairs quickly and efficiently, saving you time and the hassle of figuring out complex repair procedures.
For your safety and the longevity of your door, it’s best to rely on professionals for repairs. At Swan Garage Doors, our skilled technicians are equipped to handle any issue safely and effectively.
The longevity depends on several factors, including the quality of the parts used, the skill of the technician, and how well the door is maintained post-repair.
Spring Replacement: High-quality springs typically last between 7 to 12 years, assuming regular use and proper maintenance. This translates to about 10,000 to 20,000 cycles (one cycle being open and close).
Cable Repair/Replacement: Cables, if properly installed and maintained, can last between 5 to 7 years. Their longevity can be affected by factors like rust and wear from frequent use.
Track Alignment: Properly aligned and maintained tracks can last many years, often matching the lifespan of the door itself. Regular maintenance checks can prevent misalignment issues.
Opener Repair/Replacement: A well-maintained door opener can last 10 to 15 years. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can extend its life.
Roller Replacement: Steel rollers can last up to 20 years with proper maintenance, while nylon rollers generally have a lifespan of about 10 to 15 years.
Sensor Adjustment/Replacement: Safety sensors can last the lifetime of the door opener if they are kept clean and properly aligned.
Panel Replacement: Replaced panels can last as long as the original door, typically 15 to 30 years, depending on the material and exposure to the elements.
Weather Seal Replacement: Weather seals usually last 5 to 10 years, depending on environmental conditions and the frequency of door use.
Regular maintenance and timely repairs are crucial for extending the lifespan of all components. We use high-quality parts and employ experienced technicians to ensure your repairs last as long as possible.
Our mobile service units are readily available across Perth to address your needs. A typical service visit lasts around 30 minutes and includes the following:
Lubrication of Moving Parts: We lubricate all key components, such as the chain drive, tracks, rollers, and cable drum, to ensure smoother operation and minimize noise.
Inspection and Tightening: Our technicians thoroughly inspect and tighten all crucial fixtures, including mounting points, bolts, screws, cables, and connectors, to maintain the door’s structural integrity and prevent future issues.
Spring Tension Adjustment: We adjust the tension of the springs to reduce wear and tear, which helps to ease the strain on the opener and decrease the likelihood of operational problems.
Opener Calibration: The opener’s travel and force settings are fine-tuned to ensure the door operates correctly and to prevent any potential damage.
Safety Feature Check: We review and adjust safety features, such as safety beams and locking systems, to confirm they are functioning efficiently.
Alignment and Performance Assessment: Our team assesses the alignment and overall performance of your garage door, identifying any irregularities. Should any significant issues arise, we’ll provide a separate quote for the necessary repairs.
Our emergency repair services are designed to address urgent issues, ensuring your safety and restoring functionality as quickly as possible. Here’s what you can expect:
24/7 Availability: We offer round-the-clock service to address any emergencies, no matter the time of day or night.
Rapid Response: Our technicians are dispatched promptly to your location, equipped with the necessary tools and parts to resolve most issues on the spot.
Diagnosis and Repair: We quickly diagnose the problem, whether it’s a broken spring, malfunctioning opener, or damaged panels, and carry out the necessary repairs to get your door back in working order.
Safety Check: In addition to fixing the immediate issue, we perform a safety check to ensure all components are functioning properly and that there are no other potential hazards.
Temporary Solutions: If the problem requires parts that aren’t immediately available, we provide temporary fixes to secure your garage until a permanent solution can be implemented.
Transparent Communication: Throughout the process, we keep you informed about the issue, the repairs being performed, and any further recommendations to prevent future emergencies.
Our goal is to provide fast, reliable, and comprehensive emergency repair services to ensure your garage door is safe and operational.
Ignoring a broken door spring or cables can lead to serious safety risks and costly damage. Here’s why it’s crucial to address these issues immediately:
Safety Hazards: Door springs and cables are under high tension and are essential for balancing the weight of the door. If they fail, the door could suddenly and unexpectedly fall, potentially causing injury to people or damage to property.
Further Damage: A broken spring or cable puts additional strain on other components, such as the opener, tracks, and rollers. Continued use of the door in this condition can lead to more extensive and expensive repairs.
Compromised Security: A malfunctioning door may not close properly, leaving your home vulnerable to unauthorized access. Ensuring your door is in good working order helps protect your property and family.
Inconvenience: A broken spring or cable can leave you unable to open or close your door, trapping your vehicle inside or outside the garage and disrupting your daily routine.
Increased Repair Costs: The longer you wait to address a broken spring or cable, the more likely other parts of the system will be damaged, leading to more extensive and costly repairs down the line.
For these reasons, it’s essential to contact a professional repair service as soon as you notice any issues with your door springs or cables. Timely repairs will ensure the safety, security, and proper functioning of your garage door.
When you schedule a repair for your garage roller door, our service typically includes the following:
Comprehensive Inspection: Our technicians start with a thorough inspection of the roller door system, including the door panels, tracks, rollers, and the motor. This helps identify any underlying issues that may need attention.
Lubrication: We lubricate all moving parts, such as rollers, tracks, and the door’s bearings, to ensure smooth operation and reduce noise. Proper lubrication also extends the lifespan of these components.
Alignment Adjustment: Over time, the tracks and the door itself can become misaligned. We adjust the alignment of the door and tracks to ensure it operates smoothly and closes securely.
Spring and Tension Adjustment: If your roller door is equipped with springs, we check the tension and adjust it as needed to balance the door correctly. Proper spring tension is crucial for the door’s smooth operation and reduces strain on the motor.
Motor and Opener Check: We test the motor and opener to ensure they are functioning correctly. This includes checking the force settings, travel limits, and safety reverse mechanisms.
Repair or Replacement of Damaged Parts: If we find any damaged or worn-out parts, such as frayed cables, broken springs, or worn rollers, we repair or replace them to restore the door to optimal working condition.
Safety Feature Testing: We inspect and test all safety features, such as the auto-reverse function and sensors, to ensure your door operates safely and complies with current safety standards.
Final Testing: After all repairs and adjustments are made, we conduct a final test of the door to confirm that it opens and closes smoothly, quietly, and safely.
Cleaning and Maintenance Advice: We clean the door and provide you with maintenance tips to help you keep your roller door in top condition between service visits.
By addressing all aspects of your garage roller door’s operation, our repair services ensure that your door remains reliable, safe, and efficient.
Yes, we offer both automatic and manual garage door repairs. Our team of skilled technicians is equipped to handle a wide range of issues for both types of doors, ensuring that they operate smoothly and safely.
Whether it’s adjusting the tension on a manual door, repairing or replacing broken springs, fixing track alignment, or addressing issues with automated openers and sensors, we have the expertise to get your door back in working order.
No matter the type of door you have, our goal is to provide reliable, efficient repairs that restore full functionality and enhance the safety of your garage door system.
Decision depends on several factors, including the extent of the damage, the age of the door, and your long-term needs. Here are some considerations to help you make the right choice:
When to Repair:
Minor Damage: If the door has minor issues, such as small dents, cosmetic damage, or a malfunctioning component like a spring or cable, repair is usually the more cost-effective option.
Recent Installation: If your door is relatively new and still under warranty, it makes sense to repair rather than replace it, especially if the issue is covered by the warranty.
Isolated Issues: If the problem is limited to a specific part of the door, such as the opener, track, or a single panel, a targeted repair can effectively restore the door’s functionality.
When to Replace:
Severe Damage: If your door has extensive damage, such as large cracks, warping, or severe structural issues, replacement might be the best option to ensure safety and proper function.
Frequent Repairs: If your door has required multiple repairs recently, it may be more economical in the long run to replace it. Repeated repairs can add up, and a new door will likely be more reliable and come with a warranty.
Old Door: If your door is old and outdated, replacing it can improve your home’s curb appeal, energy efficiency, and security. Newer doors often offer better insulation, advanced safety features, and more aesthetic options.
Efficiency and Safety Concerns: If your current door lacks modern safety features or doesn’t operate efficiently, replacing it with a newer model can provide peace of mind and reduce energy costs.
Final Consideration:
If you’re still unsure, it’s a good idea to have a professional assess your garage door.
They can provide expert advice based on the condition of your door, the cost of repairs, and the potential benefits of replacement, helping you make an informed decision.

We called in to get the garage door mounting repaired as it had come away and we couldn't open the door to get the car out.The chap who attended was Ed and he was a very nice chap who resolved my issue quickly and without a fuss. Ed checked the system for errors etc and retensioned the door springs so the door is super quiet compared to what it used to be, thank you very much. I would highly recommend Swan Garage Doors.

Swan Garage Doors have been our go to for any work required on our Garage Door. They are friendly and helpful with all queries no matter how big or small. Their phone staff are very helpful in assisting with payment methods in making the matter stress free and their technicians provide detailed information explained in easy to understand terms. We've had a Spring replaced (15years & Urgent Service) and just recently the motor (16years & Next Day Service). Urgent Service naturally occurs a fee, but with prompt service and no mess left, there's no complaints! We will continue to call on Swans for any Roller Door issues we have! Most recent technician we had was James and he was great, he replaced the roller door motor. He explained what he needed to do, worked out any differences (as always the case with old for new) with a can do attitude and left no mess like he had never been there! James is a great asset to the business as well! Thanks again team!

I highly recommend Swan Garage Doors. After contacting 2 other businesses who didnt call back or couldnt fit me, I found swan garage doors. Amazing admin staff who were friendly and gave great communication, offered to send someone out that day (for an extra fee) or the next day which was a Saturday for no extra charge. I was given a 2 hour estimated time frame of when someone would be attending at the time of my booking and was advised someone would message me to say when they were 30 mins away. Herman attended our job on time with a sms beforehand say he was 26 mins away (which he was!). Herman was very friendly and professional. He diagnosed our issue quickly (faulty motor), and was able to replace it with a new motor on the spot saving us having to wait and schedule another visit. Very reasonable rates and exceptional service. Thanks Herman, I couldn't be happier!

After buying an established house our garage door has had issues from time to time being an older unit we have had to have the door rebalanced and eventually the motor replaced as it was original with the house. We have been customers for the last 2+ years and love the friendly and timely service provided. On another positive note the cost of repairs is very manageable and quotes are usually less than other companies. I would not go anywhere else for garage door repairs and enquires.

Very impressed with Swan Garage Doors (and the team at Wright Professionals). Our panel lift door ground to a halt last Friday in the morning after bringing in the bins. I noticed the wire had come off the reel on the tension rod. The door now jammed in the closed position I made a desperate call for help. To my great surprise the door had already been fixed when I rang late Friday afternoon from the office to enquire about when a serviceman could call out to repair. As a registered builder and maintenance contractor I have found that this prompt service is as rare as hens teeth. Many thanks to SGD for their commendable work. Stephen D, Kingsley WA
