Why You Should Never Force a Jammed Garage Door or Cut Strained Cables
When one lifting cable snaps or a torsion spring fractures on a canopy or sectional door, the entire deadweight of the steel or timber panel (often 60kg to 110kg) transfers onto the remaining cable. Attempting toprise the door open with a crowbar or cutting the taut wire can cause violent panel drop and severe injury. Similarly, forcing a jammed electric roller door curtain down when an endlock has snagged inside the guide channel will crease multiple aluminium slats and strip the nylon planetary gears inside the tubular motor. Our engineers use wind-bars, ratcheting cable tensioners, and barrel support jacks to safely neutralize stored spring energy before replacing failed components.
Burglary Damage, Forced Entry & Overnight Property Securement
Opportunistic intruders frequently target older up-and-over doors by peeling the top corner of the sheet steel panel or snapping T-handle euro cylinders, and target roller shutters by prising the bottom rail. If your garage has suffered an attempted break-in, we provide immediate same-day attendance to straighten or re-track the curtain, fit anti-snap security cylinders, install heavy-duty internal shoot-bolts or floor anchors, and restore full weather and security closure before nightfall.
