Common Roller Door Problems and Solutions



Roller Door Won’t Open or Close


  • Check for obstructions in the tracks or around the door.
  • Ensure the opener is plugged in and the remote batteries are fresh.
  • If the door is jammed, avoid forcing it—this can cause further damage.


Noisy or Jerky Operation


  • Lubricate the tracks and rollers with a silicone-based spray.
  • Tighten any loose bolts or brackets.
  • Worn or rusted rollers may need replacement for smoother, quieter movement.

Door Stuck Halfway

  • Misaligned tracks or a faulty motor can cause the door to stop mid-cycle.
  • Inspect the tracks for bends or debris and clear as needed.
  • If the problem persists, consider consulting a professional for a thorough inspection.


A client in Dee Why recently called us when their roller door jammed during a storm. Our technician arrived within the hour, cleared the tracks, and replaced a damaged roller, restoring full function on the spot.




Preventative Maintenance: Keep Your Roller Door Reliable

  • Lubricate tracks and rollers every 3–6 months.
  • Inspect the tracks for rust, debris, or dents.
  • Test the door’s balance by disconnecting the opener and lifting manually.
  • Book a professional tune-up annually, especially if you live near the coast.
