Garage Door Springs

A common repair on your standard sectional/panel lift garage door is a broken spring. These occur after the garage door has completed a certain amount of cycles. Once they break the door can become very dangerous and hard to lift.  The springs are what lifts the door weight, making the door light to lift and they are used whether your door is operated by hand or by motor.

These springs are under high tension and made of steel, over time the steel weakens and can break due to general wear and tear or lack of regular maintenance and servicing. When one of the springs breaks, we always replace both springs to ensure optimal operation and best value for money.

Garage Door Accessories

Doors Direct carry most sizes and types of garage door springs in stock so we can replace them the same day or the next day to get your door working again.

As well as the springs, the cables are also another common part of the sectional/panel lift garage door that can either come off or break. Doors Direct can either reattach these for you or replace them with a new set of cables.

If you need a new remote, motor, or opener we can help with many options and budgets to suit you.

Garage Door Servicing

We offer servicing of all types of garage doors and openers and this should be done every 2 years, depending on how often the door is used on a daily basis. Servicing your garage door will help maintain the optimum running of your door and motor and will also extend the lifespan of your components. This can save you thousands in the long run.

Garage door openers don’t last forever, so when yours gives up, or is playing up, call the Doors Direct team on 3161 5963 or email us at info@doorsdirect.com.au.
