There could be several reasons why your electric garage door won't open. Assuming the garage door is not locked (!), your remote might be out of range or there could be interference or a physical blockage between the remote and the receiver that stope the signal from being transmitted.

We don't just replace or install brand new garage doors, our experienced team can also fix and repair an existing damaged or broken garage door. At Garage Doors London we specialise in the smooth operation of both manual or electric powered garage doors and can carry out repair work quickly and efficiently.

However, most experts agree that the average garage door should last between 15 and 30 years, depending on the quality of the materials, maintenance schedule and local climate. Automatic garage door openers will need to be replaced sooner, with an average life expectancy of 10–15 years.

That moment when you question if there's a way to repair without having to replace the entire door. Well, the reality is that repairing a section of your garage door is doable, but it's often best to call in the pros.
