This guide covers seven of the most common garage door problems, what may be causing them, what you can safely check yourself, and when it is time to call in an expert.

Before You Try Any Garage Door Fix

Garage doors are heavy, tensioned systems. Even a small-looking fault can become dangerous if the wrong part is adjusted or forced.

Before checking anything:

• Keep children and pets away from the door.
• Do not stand directly under a faulty or half-open door.
• Do not try to adjust springs, cables or tensioned parts yourself.
• Do not keep pressing the remote if the door is jammed.
• Switch off the power before inspecting an electric garage door mechanism.

A good rule is this: if the fix involves cleaning, checking batteries, clearing a small obstruction or inspecting visible damage, it may be safe to look at yourself. If it involves force, lifting, cables, springs, tracks or electrics, call a garage door specialist.

1. The Garage Door Will Not Open or Close

One of the most common issues is a garage door that refuses to move. This can happen with manual doors, but it is especially common with electric and automatic garage doors.

What could be causing it?

Common causes include:

• A power supply issue
• Flat remote-control batteries
• A disconnected manual release
• An obstruction in the tracks
• A faulty motor or control unit
• Broken springs or cables
• The door being locked from the inside

What can you safely check?

Start with the simple checks first. Make sure the door is not manually locked, then check the power supply and remote batteries. Look for anything obvious blocking the tracks, such as stones, leaves, tools or other items stored too close to the door.

If you have an electric garage door and the motor is running but the door is not moving, stop using it. That can point to a mechanical fault rather than a simple remote issue.

For more information on automated systems, see CDC Garage Doors’ automatic garage doors page.

2. The Remote Control or Wall Switch Is Not Working

If the door itself looks fine but the remote or wall switch does not respond, the issue may be with the controls rather than the garage door.

What could be causing it?

This could be due to:

• Flat remote batteries
• A remote that needs reprogramming
• A power cut or tripped fuse
• A damaged wall switch
• Signal interference
• A fault with the receiver or control unit

What can you safely check?

Replace the remote batteries first. If the wall switch still works, the issue is likely with the handset rather than the door. If neither the remote nor the wall switch works, check whether power is reaching the unit.

Do not open the motor casing or control unit unless you are qualified to do so. Electric garage door systems contain components that should be inspected and repaired by a trained engineer.

CDC also has a more specific guide to common automatic garage door issues, which may help if the problem relates to an electric opener.

3. The Door Starts Closing Then Reverses

A garage door that begins to close and then opens again is usually reacting to resistance or a safety signal. This is especially common on electric doors with built-in safety features.

What could be causing it?

Possible causes include:

• Something blocking the door’s path
• Dirty or misaligned safety sensors
• A stiff or damaged track
• Incorrect force settings
• A mechanical imbalance
• A fault in the motor system

What can you safely check?

Look along the floor and tracks for any objects in the way. Clean around the bottom of the door and sensor area if your system has photo-eye sensors. Dust, cobwebs or small items can sometimes interrupt the safety beam.

If the door still reverses after the area has been cleared, do not try to override the system. The safety function may be warning you that the door is meeting too much resistance, which needs a proper inspection.

4. The Garage Door Is Noisy or Jerky

A garage door should not grind, scrape, squeal or move in a jumpy way. Some noise is normal, particularly with older doors, but a sudden change in sound is usually a sign that something needs attention.

What could be causing it?

Noisy or uneven movement may be caused by:

• Dry rollers or hinges
• Loose fixings
• Worn rollers
• Dirt or debris in the tracks
• A door that is out of balance
• Damaged springs, cables or brackets

What can you safely check?

Visually inspect the tracks and remove loose debris. You can also check whether any visible screws or brackets look loose, but avoid adjusting any tensioned components.

A suitable garage door lubricant may help with light squeaking around hinges or rollers, but avoid applying grease heavily inside the tracks. Tracks need to guide the door, not become sticky and clogged with debris.

If the door is jerking, dropping, scraping or catching, arrange a professional inspection. Continued use can put extra strain on the mechanism and make the repair more expensive.

5. The Springs or Cables Look Broken

Springs and cables help carry the weight of the garage door. If one breaks, the door may feel extremely heavy, hang unevenly, slam shut or refuse to open.

What are the warning signs?

You may notice:

• A loud bang from the garage
• A visible gap in the spring
• A loose or hanging cable
• The door sitting at an angle
• The opener struggling to lift the door
• The door dropping suddenly when moved

What should you do?

Do not try to repair or replace garage door springs or cables yourself. These parts are under high tension and can cause serious injury if handled incorrectly.

Stop using the door, keep the area clear and contact a garage door specialist. If the door is stuck open, do not leave it unsupported or attempt to force it closed.

6. The Door Has Come Off Its Tracks

A garage door that has come off its tracks is not safe to use. It may look like only one roller has slipped out of place, but the weight and tension in the system can make the door unstable.

What could be causing it?

Common causes include:

• An impact, such as a vehicle bumping the door
• Worn or broken rollers
• Bent tracks
• Loose brackets
• A cable or spring issue
• Repeated forcing when the door is already stiff

What can you safely check?

You can look for obvious damage, but do not try to lift the door back into place. Avoid using the remote or opener, as the motor can make the damage worse if the door is not aligned correctly.

A door that has left its tracks needs to be inspected, realigned and checked for any wider mechanical fault.

7. Draughts, Water or Gaps Around the Door

Not every garage door problem stops the door from working. Sometimes the issue is poor sealing, visible gaps or water entering under the door.

What could be causing it?

This may be due to:

• Worn bottom seals
• Damaged side or top seals
• Uneven flooring
• Warped or damaged door panels
• Poor door fit
• Age-related wear

What can you safely check?

Clean around the base of the door and check whether the rubber seal is cracked, flattened or missing. If the seal has perished, replacing it may help reduce draughts and water ingress.

If the door itself is warped, damaged or poorly fitted, a replacement may be more effective than repeated patch repairs. Depending on the property, options such as GRP garage doors, sectional garage doors or side hinged garage doors may provide a better long-term solution.

Should You Repair or Replace a Faulty Garage Door?

A repair is often the right option if the issue is isolated, the door is otherwise in good condition and replacement parts are available. However, replacement may be more sensible if the door is old, unsafe, badly damaged or no longer suits how you use the garage.

It may be time to consider replacement if:

• The same fault keeps returning
• The door is difficult or unsafe to operate
• The panels are damaged, warped or corroded
• The mechanism is outdated
• You want better security, insulation or convenience
• The cost of repair is high compared with a new door

For example, homeowners looking for a stronger and more durable option may want to explore steel garage doors, while those wanting easier day-to-day access may prefer a side hinged or automatic option.

When to Call a Garage Door Specialist

You should call a professional if the door is heavy, jammed, uneven, electrically faulty or showing signs of spring, cable or track damage.

Professional help is recommended if:

• The garage door will not open or close after basic checks
• The motor runs but the door does not move
• The door has come off its tracks
• A spring or cable is broken
• The door drops suddenly
• The door is making grinding or scraping noises
• You are unsure whether the door is safe to use

A properly repaired garage door should be safe, smooth and reliable. Guesswork can make the issue worse, so it is always better to get expert advice where safety or security is involved.

The post Top 7 Common Garage Door Problems and How to Fix Them appeared first on CDC Garage Doors.

The good news is that modern garage doors have come a long way. Roller and sectional designs in particular now offer outstanding levels of security, and combined with quality automation and the right additional measures, your garage can become one of the most protected parts of your home.

Here, the team at CDC Garage Doors explain what really makes a garage door secure, which types perform best, and how you can take security a step further.

What Makes a Garage Door Secure?

Not all garage doors offer the same level of protection. Three key features separate a genuinely secure door from a vulnerable one:

• High-quality locks. Multi-point locking systems engage in several places along the door, making it far harder to force open. As standard, every garage door we install comes with a multi-point locking system to deliver the highest levels of personal security for your home.
• Automation and motor locking. Electric garage doors are held in place by the motor itself, often with anti-lift technology and tamper alarms. There is no external handle to attack, and forcing the door against the motor is extremely difficult.
• Strong, well-engineered materials. Reinforced steel curtains, insulated panels and engineered GRP all resist physical attack far better than older single-skin doors. Quality of the frame, fixings and tracks matters just as much as the door itself.

A truly secure garage door is the combination of all three: a robust material, a sound locking system and intelligent automation working together.

The Most Secure Types of Garage Doors

Roller Garage Doors

Roller garage doors are widely considered one of the most secure options on the market. The curtain is built from interlocking aluminium or steel slats that roll up into a compact cassette above the opening, leaving no easy point of leverage from outside. Quality roller garage doors such as our Aluroll and Secureroll 77 models include features like anti-lift locking systems, tamper-proof alarms, optical safety edges and safety brakes as standard. Combined with electric operation, they are exceptionally difficult to bypass.

Sectional Garage Doors

Sectional doors are the go-to choice for homeowners who want strong security alongside excellent insulation and a premium appearance. The door is made up of horizontal panels, often double-skinned and foam-filled, that lift vertically and slide back along the ceiling. There is no swing-out movement, no exposed handle and no weak edge to prise. Our sectional garage doors offer outstanding strength, thermal performance and a smooth, quiet operation that suits modern and traditional homes alike.

GRP Garage Doors

GRP doors are sometimes overlooked when it comes to security, but a well-engineered GRP door is extremely robust. The composite construction is hard to cut, dent or break through, and as UK manufacturers of GRP garage doors, we build ours with a steel-reinforced frame and multi-point locking as standard. The added benefit is that GRP combines security with low maintenance and a beautiful timber-effect finish, with no risk of rot or rust.

Up-and-Over Garage Doors (with Upgrades)

Traditional up and over garage doors remain a popular and well-loved choice, particularly for homes where the classic look matters. Modern up-and-over designs are far more secure than older versions, especially when specified with multi-point locking, reinforced frames and an electric operator. With these upgrades in place, an up-and-over door can be a strong and stylish security solution.

Manual vs Electric: The Reality of Garage Door Security

A common misconception is that a manual garage door is somehow more secure than an electric one because it has “a proper key”. In practice, the opposite is usually true.

A quality electric garage door has no external handle or visible lock to attack. The door is held closed by the motor and gear assembly, and most modern systems include anti-lift technology, tamper alarms and rolling-code remote controls that cannot be cloned. There is no key to lose, copy or pick.

Manual doors can absolutely still be secure, particularly with multi-point locking and a robust handle, but the idea that automation weakens security is a myth. For most homeowners, an electric door delivers a more convenient and a more secure experience.

Additional Ways to Boost Garage Door Security

Even the best garage door benefits from a wider security strategy around it. A few simple additions can make your garage significantly less appealing to intruders:

• Many of our roller and sectional doors include tamper-proof alarms, but a wider home alarm system that covers the garage adds a valuable second layer of protection.
• Motion-activated lighting. Well-placed external lighting around the garage and driveway is a proven deterrent. A garage that is lit the moment someone approaches is far less likely to be targeted.
• Smart technology. Smart garage door controls let you check whether the door is closed, receive alerts and grant temporary access remotely. For families and busy households, this peace of mind is hard to beat.
• CCTV and video doorbells. A visible camera covering the garage frontage discourages opportunistic attempts and provides valuable evidence if anything does happen.
• Avoid leaving remotes in cars. A remote left in a car parked on the drive effectively becomes a key to your garage. Keep remotes inside the house, or use smart entry instead.
• Reinforce the internal door. If your garage connects directly into the house, treat that internal door as an external one, with a quality lock and solid construction.

The post Which Garage Doors Are Most Secure? appeared first on CDC Garage Doors.

Keeping your garage secure is important for many homeowners since it can provide an easy way into the main house if left unprotected. Luckily, roller shutter garage doors offer a straightforward yet highly effective security solution. Unlike regular garage doors that leave your stuff exposed, roller shutters form a robust barrier against intruders and prying eyes. But what specifically makes roller shutter doors better at boosting garage security compared to other garage door options?

Reduced Noise Transmission

Roller shutter garage doors limit the transmission of noise from the garage interior to the outside. Their solid metal slat construction significantly dampens noises created inside when the shutter is lowered. Activities like working with power tools, moving items or conversations inside the garage become muffled and difficult to hear from outside for the benefit of your household and neighbours.

Physical Barrier Against Break-ins

One of the biggest security advantages of roller shutter garage doors is that they form a sturdy physical barrier when closed. The interlocking metallic slats are typically made from robust aluminium or galvanised steel, which is challenging to cut through or pry open.

Attempting to breach the shutter’s barrier could require power tools and a prolonged effort, generating lots of noise in the process and alerting neighbours to the commotion. The strength of the shutters acts as an impressive deterrent.

Roller shutters don’t provide any opportunity for smash-and-grab style theft. The narrow slats do not offer handholds or footholds for an intruder to open them from the outside, which significantly reduces the risk of opportunistic burglaries targeting valuables left in the garage such as tools, bicycles, golf clubs and gardening equipment.

Fireproof Doors

When it comes to protecting your home and garage from fire damage, roller garage doors are an excellent choice. Unlike other garage door styles that may look nice aesthetically, roller doors are particularly effective at withstanding intense heat and flames.

Roller shutter garage doors are typically constructed from fire-resistant metals and materials that have high fire ratings. This makes them extremely resilient against the impacts of fire. In addition to their fireproof materials, roller doors also improve your general fire safety due to their design. They are very easy to open and close manually in an emergency situation.

If you need to make a quick escape from your home during a fire, you don’t have to fumble with complicated mechanisms. You can simply override the automated controls and open the roller door by hand to exit the building.

Remote and Automated Operation

A key convenience feature of many modern roller shutter garage doors is their ability to be operated automatically. Many systems come with remote control units that allow the shutters to be raised or lowered from the comfort of your car or a distance away.

This removes the need to get out and manually lift the shutters up and down to access the garage. Some are connected to home alarm systems and will automatically shut when the alarm is activated. This self-closing function ensures your shutter garage is secured if you forget to close it manually.

Having the ability to control the shutters remotely reduces the chances of the garage being left accessible. At the push of a button or on an automatic schedule, the shutter can be lowered and locked without any effort. This convenient automation further bolsters the security and convenience of your garage compared to manual doors.

Upgrading to roller shutter doors is one of the best investments you can make if garage security is a concern. You can enjoy peace of mind knowing your belongings are concealed from prying eyes and protected behind a formidable barrier.

With their combination of robust physical strength, visual obscurity, sound dampening and convenient automation, roller shutter doors create a significantly more secure garage compared to exposed regular garage doors. If you seek to enhance safety, privacy and deter burglaries at your property, roller shutter garage doors are an excellent and reliable solution.

Benefits of Side Hinged Garage Doors

Side hinged garage doors make it easy to access your garage on-foot without needing to have the contents of your garage on display to passers-by. With this style of door, you can quickly get in and out without needing to open the whole door, which is great if you’re just nipping in to grab something or it’s raining and you need to be quick.

A side hinged door offers excellent levels of security while still being easy to operate. They can be made to measure to fit your property exactly, whether you want it to open from the right or left. There’s no need to bend to open the door and they require minimal maintenance, since there aren’t any complex mechanisms to worry about. With endless colours and styles to choose from, it’s a versatile style that suits virtually every home or business.

What’s The Best Material For a Side Hinged Door?

When people think of side hinged garage doors, they typically think of timber, but it’s not the only option. Timber doors can be made from various woods, from cedarwood and larch to oak, and they offer a traditional and luxurious look. Wooden garage doors can be painted or stained, but they do require regular maintenance to keep them in good condition.

Steel and aluminium are another option which delivers great security and, when double skinned doors are chosen, they’re highly insulating. While steel can be cold, insulated steel doors are a great option to retain warmth and block out sound.

Alternatively, you may want a lighter weight door that’s low maintenance but still secure, which is where GRP or fibreglass garage doors are the best fit. GRP doors can be made to look like timber for the same warmth and classic appearance but with the stability and durability that fibreglass offers.

The use of high-quality and durable materials, top-quality processing and a wide variety of additional fittings give your garage a stylish appearance in keeping with the style of your home and your personal taste.

What To Consider When Buying a Side Hinged Garage Door

Before buying a side hinged door, there are a few factors to consider:

• What size do you need? Garage doors range in sizes and can be made to measure. A member of our team can carry out a free site survey to ensure an accurate measure.
• Will it open from the left or right? A convenient aspect of side hinged doors is they can be adapted to suit your access needs.
• Manual or automated? Side hinged doors can be opened and closed manually while automatic garage doors are convenient and more secure.
• Does the door open in or out? Outward opening means you have more space in your garage, but if you have a shorter drive, an inward opening might be more practical.
• Which colour should you choose? You may want to match your garage to your property, or create a statement with a bold shade.
• Which hinges and handles do you want? From brass and black to brushed steel, hinges and handles come in a range of styles to match the rest of your home.

Side hinged doors make for an excellent home investment, delivering great security and convenience for property owners. They’re adaptable to your property, from the split of the doors to the hinge placement and openings, and there are countless ways to customise your door to make it perfect for your home or business. At CDC Garage Doors, we’re experts in GRP garage door installation and we operate across the South East of England.

1. Install Safety Sensors

Safety sensors, placed at the bottom of the garage door opening, emit an invisible beam across the doorway. If anything interrupts this beam while the door is closing, the sensor detects it and signals the opener to stop and reverse the door. This prevents the door from closing on pets, children, or objects in its path, avoiding injuries and damage. Select sensors that can operate reliably in all weather conditions.

2. Add a Security Bar

A garage door security bar is usually made of heavy-duty steel that spans the entire width of the door. Securely fitting a bar across the inside of your closed garage door adds a formidable barrier for intruders trying to lift the door from the outside. It also prevents the door from being blown open by strong winds. Look for a bar that is easy to install and remove quickly when needed.

3. Use a Deadbolt

A deadbolt lock adds significant strength against forced entry compared to standard doorknob locks on garage doors. The heavy bolt extends deep into the door frame when locked, preventing the door from being kicked in or jimmied open. For commercial buildings you can get a high quality deadbolt designed for garage doors that is ANSI grade 1 certified.

4. Close and Lock the Door

Develop the simple habit of keeping garage doors closed and locked at all times when not in use, even when at home. Open doors are tempting opportunities for thieves. Closing the door also keeps out blowing leaves, dust, and other outdoor elements. Reinforce this with kids and house guests. For added convenience, install an automatic garage door lock.

5. Inspect the Door Regularly

Visually inspect garage doors monthly for any signs of damage, loose parts, or malfunctions. Check that all hardware is tightened properly. Make sure safety sensors are clean and aimed correctly. Replace any worn or defective parts like springs, rollers, and hinges. Properly maintaining the door improves safety and security. Consider an annual professional inspection/tune-up.

Novoguard’s Extra Security Features

Novoguard offers additional features to further enhance garage door safety:

• Photocell sensors to stop the door if objects are detected
• Safety edges to prevent the door crushing objects

How to Reinforce Your Garage Door

The foundation of garage security lies in physical reinforcement. Here are the most effective measures you can implement:

Install Additional Locks and Bolts

Beyond your existing garage door lock, consider adding supplementary locking mechanisms for enhanced security, such as:

• Slide bolts (Brenton bolts): When engaged, these heavy-duty bolts prevent the door from being opened even if the main lock is compromised.

• Deadbolts: For side-hinged garage doors, fitting deadbolts provides an additional layer of security that is extremely difficult to bypass.
• Padlocks: If your garage door has a manual operation, installing security loops or hasps with heavy-duty padlocks (with hardened steel shacking) offers a simple yet effective deterrent.

Reinforce Vulnerable Points

Up-and-over garage doors are particularly susceptible to attacks at their corners, where thieves can use crowbars to bend and pry the door open. Consider:

• Installing steel reinforcement plates to the corners of your up-and-over door, which act as heavy-duty bolts and provide valuable corner reinforcement
• Reinforcing the area around your existing lock with a metal plate or shield, protecting against drill attacks and forced entry attempts.

Secure the Emergency Release Mechanism

Modern automatic garage doors include an emergency release cord that allows manual operation during power failures. Unfortunately, this safety feature can be exploited by thieves using implements through the top of the door to hook and pull the release. You can prevent this by installing a protective shield around the release mechanism, or securing the release cord with a zip tie.

4 Important Garage Security Upgrades

When it comes to safeguarding our loved ones and belongings, security occupies a paramount position in every homeowner’s thoughts. The lengths we traverse to secure our homes with modern front door locks, intruder alarms, and comprehensive security systems are commendable. However, in our pursuit of protecting our living spaces, let’s not overlook a significant area – the garage.

In the eyes of a potential intruder, the contents of your garage can be alluringly valuable. The array of tools, bicycles, toys, gardening or fitness equipment, and assorted possessions can be tempting for those seeking swift gains. Moreover, ladders and tools, often residing within garages, present an enticing opportunity for accessing the rest of your dwelling. Not to mention, if your garage is attached or integral to your property, a break-in through the garage could open the door to your home.

It’s crucial to realise that opportunistic burglars prey on what appear to be easy targets. The good news is that a few strategic measures can transform your garage from an appealing prospect into a formidable challenge for would-be thieves.

1. Reinventing Your Garage Door

Commence your security transformation by scrutinising your garage door. How old is it? Does it possess a robust lock? Outdated garage doors lack the security features of modern counterparts, signalling the need for an upgrade. Whether you opt for timber, GRP, or steel, a new, sturdy door equipped with contemporary security elements will serve as an impregnable shield for your family and possessions.

2. Diligent Garage Maintenance

Cast a discerning eye on your garage’s upkeep. While it might sound elementary, a garage with compromised windows or a deteriorating structure offers an open invitation to potential thieves. Inspect all potential entry points, address necessary repairs promptly, and bestow your garage with the tender loving care it merits.

3. Illuminating the Perimeter

Is your garage surrounded by adequate lighting? Exterior lighting is of paramount importance, especially if your garage stands at a distance from the main dwelling. Darkness serves as a cloak for burglars, allowing them to operate undetected. Installing motion sensor security lights serves as an exceptional deterrent, casting a spotlight on any potential intruder.

4. Cultivating Good Garage Door Security Habits

Lastly, reflect on your daily behaviours with a security lens. Often, homeowners underestimate how their own habits can compromise security. Do you consistently lock your garage? Perhaps your residence is nestled in a low-crime locality, leading you to believe a break-in is unlikely? If such notions resonate, contemplate upgrading to an automatic garage door. With a touch of a button, it reliably opens, closes, and, most crucially, locks, ensuring unwavering security.

Beyond installing physical security measures and technology, your daily habits play a crucial role in garage security

• Never leave your garage door remote control in your vehicle or in plain sight to the general public. Consider a keychain remote or keeping it a part of your house keys.
• Always lock your garage every time, even if you’re popping out briefly. Upgrading to an automatic garage door that locks electronically each time it closes can be a good workaround if you’re likely to forget.
• When you’re away for business or holidays, don’t leave garage windows uncovered, arrange for a neighbour or friend to occasionally park in your driveway, and use smart lighting to create the illusion of regular usage.

Ensure any side doors or windows are equipped with strong locks and treated in the same way as the front door or main garage entrance.

Garage Security Technology Ideas

Whilst physical security forms your first line of defence, modern technology can significantly enhance your garage’s overall security:

Security Cameras and CCTV

Installing visible security cameras acts as a powerful deterrent to potential intruders. Position cameras to cover:

• The garage door itself and immediate approach area
• Side access points and windows
• The driveway leading to the garage

Modern smart cameras offer motion detection alerts sent directly to your smartphone, allowing you to monitor your garage remotely and respond immediately to suspicious activity.

Smart Garage Door Systems

Upgrading to a smart garage door system provides several security advantages:

• Check whether your garage door is open or closed from anywhere using a smartphone app
• Set your door to automatically close after a specified time, eliminating the risk of accidentally leaving it open
• Receive notifications whenever your garage door opens or closes, helping you track all access
