A garage door not sitting quite right can be a sign of something more serious.
I attended this door in Sorrento today after concerns that it was no longer sitting flush when closed.
From the outside, the uneven gaps were the obvious problem. But after inspecting the complete door, I found the rear-sprung lifting cables were badly frayed and require urgent replacement.
I also identified areas of the door beginning to split, which will require reinforcement plates to help prevent further damage.
The door was still operating, but this is a good example of why changes in the way a garage door sits, sounds or operates shouldn’t be ignored. Sometimes the visible issue is only part of the problem.
If your garage door has started sitting unevenly, making unusual noises or just doesn’t feel the same as it used to, feel free to get in touch.
