Garage Door Repairs in Harlow: The Most Common Problems (And How to Fix Them)

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 09:54:13 GMT

Broken or twisted cabels

If your garage door has suddenly stopped working, you’re not alone. At Manor Garage Doors, we repair garage doors across Harlow, Bishop’s Stortford, Hoddesdon and surrounding areas every day.

Most faults are common — and in many cases, they can be fixed quickly and safely by an experienced local engineer.

1. Broken Garage Door Springs

One of the most frequent issues we see is a snapped spring.

Signs of a broken spring:

Door feels extremely heavy
Door won’t open fully
Loud bang heard before failure

Springs are under high tension, so this is not a DIY job . We carry common sizes and can often repair this on the first visit.

2. Snapped or Loose Cables

Cables help lift and balance your garage door. When they fail, the door can become unsafe.

Typical symptoms:

Door hanging unevenly
Cables loose or off the drum
Door jammed halfway

We replace cables and reset the door safely, ensuring smooth operation.

3. Roller Door Motor Failure

If you have an electric roller door, the motor or control box can wear out over time — especially on lower-quality installations.

At Manor Garage Doors, we replace failed units with reliable, high-quality motors and control systems , improving performance and safety.

4. Locks, Handles & Security Issues

A faulty lock or worn handle can leave your garage insecure.

We supply and fit:

New locking mechanisms
Security cylinders
Replacement handles

Keeping your garage safe and secure is always a priority.

5. General Wear and Tear

Older garage doors often suffer from:

Stiff operation
Noisy movement
Poor sealing

A full service can often extend the life of your door without needing a full replacement.
