  • As part of maintaining your garage roller door it is important that the roller door is tensioned properly. This helps maintain the life of your garage door opener or motor. Andrew Strachan of Grove Roller Door shows you how to re-tension your roller door. If you are not a technical minded nor a handy - person, it is a good idea to hire a professional to do this.

    Hi guys,

    Wonderful video. I like roller doors because of how they work and they also take up less space than traditional garage doors.

    Hi,
    There is a metal on metal noise when closing the door between 4:02 and 4:10
    As if the panels are clinking on each others
    Do you know what that noise it and how it can be fixed?

  • @SpecialTBK

    Great video. My door is a manual door. Opening it the ‘roller’ doesn’t keep up with the door and it doesn’t ‘spool’ properly at the top. It bunches up. The only way to open without this happening is by ‘paddling’ it both arms above my head. Any suggestions? Could this be a re-tension? Or more likely something else.

In manual mode the roller door holds whilst half way down. So not sure what the problem is. Can you please tell me how to fix this? thanks

    Jesus mate DO NOT under any circumstances undo ubolts whilst the door is down and under HIGH tension. RE tensioning is done whilst the door is open and DIY’rs put a rope around it for safety. If you didn’t spin the motor around the limits wouldn’t be out of sync either maybe you need some training mate.

      Clean the runners (best to remove them and clean full distance and also roller door edge whilst accessible) and lubricate the coils / springs eg silicone spray or light grease.

      If you adjust tension with door up it would be very hard to guess how much more tension is neededto correct the problem. I go with the door half up method, makes more sense to me.
