Service 02 · panel entering the radius
Off-track, roller & hinge repair
A panel jumped the radius; the door binds through the curve.
Call 01632 960 391When a roller shatters or a hinge tears, the panel that should articulate through the radius binds instead. We re-seat the door in the track, replace rollers and hinges, and true the vertical rails so the panels curve cleanly onto the horizontal track again.
What the visit includes
- Door re-seated in the vertical track and the radius trued
- Nylon or steel rollers, sealed-bearing, to suit the door weight
- Hinges renumbered and replaced where the panel has torn out
- Track plumbed and the fixings re-anchored to the jamb
Where it sits on the door’s travel
Panel entering the radius. At this point the drawing on our homepage reads 5.6 turns still wound in the spring and 107 lb on the cables — the counterbalance the whole system is built around. Get that number wrong and the door fights the opener, the rollers and itself.
