Ignoring early warning signs that your garage door is not working can lead to expensive repairs. In some cases, you may need to replace your roller, sectional, or tilt garage door completely. By addressing these issues early, you can save both time and money while keeping your home secure.
In this post, we are going to go through the most common issues that we hear from our customers.
My garage door is making strange noises
If your garage door has started making squeaking, grinding or rattling noises it is a sign that something could be wrong. The noises could be caused by general wear and tear and can be easily fixed with garage door maintenance. Our experienced Sydney Garage Door technicians can help with this. It could also indicate worn out rollers, misaligned tracks, a lack of lubrication or even an issue with the garage door opener (see our tips on maintaining your garage door)
My automatic garage door is not operating smoothly
If your automatic garage door is hesitating when pressing your garage door opener, this could be a sign your garage door opener is faulty. If the door is jerking when you press your automatic garage door opener, it could mean the tracks are misaligned or the rollers are damaged. Either way, these issues could get worse over time. We highly recommend a service call to address any strange movements from your garage door - our team at KangarooGD service garage doors in Sydney and are here to help.

My garage door jumps up when it’s closing
There are various reasons your garage door may not be closing properly, and one of them is your garage door opener which may need to be reset. For most garage door openers, this is fairly easy to do - you can find the relevant manual for your garage door opener online and follow the instructions. Or, give our team a call and we can assist.
Automatic garage doors are often equipped with safety beams which stops the garage door from closing if it detects an obstacle below the garage door such as a vehicle, animal or small child. If the garage door starts reversing on its own and there is no obvious obstruction, it may mean there is an issue with the sensors or control panel.
Test the safety beams regularly by placing obstructions underneath the garage door to make sure it stops. If you notice the door reverses when there is nothing in the way, it’s time to call in the professionals at KangarooGD for a garage door repair call out.
My automatic garage door won't open
If your automatic garage door won’t open at all, there’s a chance you have put it into manual mode. Most Garage door motors, such as Merlin garage door openers that we use, have a manual release option to override automatic control. The manual garage door release can be triggered by pulling the red cord on the motor. This can be triggered by mistake if you pull the cord, or it gets caught.
The good news is, disengaging the manual garage door release is easy! Just follow our instructions here.
If you’re not comfortable doing this yourself, our team can always help you - over the phone or on site if required.
