*A quick way to check your door
Unplug your electric garage door opener to deactivate it. Open and close the door manually to see how easy it is to open. You should be able to operate the door easily. You must therefore avoid placing any unnecessary strain on it. If the door is hard to open when operated manually,there is unneccessary strain on the door. This may be from a decompressed spring, a warped track, or a loose cable. Get in touch with us before damage results

How do I open the door during a power cut?

My remote has stopped working but the OSC button still opens the door.
This could be radio frequency interference. Check that your transmitters are functioning properly and not jamming the signal. Also check to see that there is no other device within your vicinity, such as a wireless door chime or baby monitor, that is constantly transmitting. Or you can contact us on 0421 234 106 for advice.
As well as safety features such as infra-red automatic stopping beams, we have a range of additional products for your opener such as extra remote control units, keypads and seals can be added to make your garage draft proof.
