Garage Door Repair in Dubai
Springs, tracks, rollers, motors, remotes and safety sensors, on sectional garage doors and roller shutters.
Faults we repair
Garage doors fail in a short list of ways, and the symptom points to the part.
Door lifts a foot and stops, or feels enormously heavy by hand: a broken torsion spring. You may have heard a bang, hours or days before the door refused.
Motor runs but the door does not move: a stripped gear in the operator, or a disengaged manual release.
Door reverses immediately after touching the floor, or will not close at all while the remote still works: safety sensors out of alignment or obstructed. A quick fix, and an easy one to mistake for a motor fault.
Door binds, judders or drags on one side: bent track, worn rollers, or a cable that has come off the drum.
Remote works close up but not from the driveway: receiver or battery, occasionally interference. We test the wall button first to separate the remote from the operator.
Roller shutters: jammed slats, a bent bottom rail, a seized barrel, or a motor that runs one direction only.
Why springs are not a self-repair
A torsion spring on a domestic sectional door stores enough energy to lift a door weighing well over a hundred kilograms. Released without winding bars and the correct technique it does not fail gently. It is not a job to attempt with the tools already in the garage.
We replace springs as a matched pair. When one has gone the other has done identical work over identical cycles and is close behind it. Replacing one alone means a second call-out and an unbalanced door in the meantime.
How a garage door call-out runs
Send a video first
A ten-second video of the door attempting to open tells us more than a paragraph. Add a photo of the motor unit and any label on it. Brand and model drive part availability more than the fault does.
Diagnosis and a written quote on site
We confirm the fault on site and quote before ordering any part. If a part needs sourcing we tell you the wait rather than starting work and stopping.
Repair, balance and safety test
After the repair the door is balanced by hand, the safety reverse is tested against an obstruction, the sensors are checked, and the remote and wall button are both confirmed working before we leave.
Car stuck inside?
Say so in your first message. A sectional door has a manual release cord, and we will talk you through finding and pulling it safely on WhatsApp before anyone travels, so the car is out while the repair is being scheduled rather than after. For emergency call-outs we aim to be with you within 2 hours, and up to 4 at peak times or for outlying areas; AMC customers get priority dispatch inside that same window. If the fault turns out to need power work at the motor unit, our electrical team handles it on the same visit. For interior wooden door repair inside the villa — swollen main door, dropped hinges, split panels — the carpentry team covers that lane separately.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?
The door feels extremely heavy to lift by hand, or the motor strains and lifts it only a few inches. Look at the spring above the door: a broken torsion spring shows a visible gap in the coil.
Do you repair roller shutters as well as sectional garage doors?
Yes, both, for villas and shopfronts. Slats, bottom rails, barrels, motors and manual overrides.
Can you fix the remote without replacing the motor?
Usually. We test the wall button first, which separates a remote or receiver problem from an operator problem. A call booked as a motor failure can turn out to be pairing or a sensor.
Do you supply parts for any brand?
Availability depends on the brand and age of the unit, which is why we ask for a photo of the motor label before dispatch. Where a part is not available we say so rather than fitting an approximation.
What warranty do I get?
A 6-month workmanship warranty on the labour. Parts carry the manufacturer's own warranty, passed through to you.
