Tune-up & balance service
The float test — a door that hangs still at half-travel.
Call 01632 960 391A balanced door, disconnected from its opener, will stay wherever you leave it. We adjust spring turns, lubricate the moving parts, tighten fixings and set the balance so the door floats — which is what makes it quiet, safe, and easy on the opener.
What the visit includes
- Spring turns adjusted to the door’s measured weight
- Rollers, hinges, bearings and springs lubricated
- All track and bracket fixings re-torqued
- Float test at half-travel — the door holds its own position
Where it sits on the door’s travel
Balanced · door holds at half-travel. At this point the drawing on our homepage reads 3.4 turns still wound in the spring and 65 lb — floating — the counterbalance the whole system is built around. Get that number wrong and the door fights the opener, the rollers and itself.
