Garage Door Repairs Binningup

Binningup is a small seaside town in the Shire of Harvey, down the Forrest Highway from Mandurah and about 30 km short of Bunbury. It was gazetted as a townsite in 1963, and many of its homes are holiday houses that sit closed for weeks at a time, a few streets back from a beach sheltered by an offshore reef. Salt air reaches all of them: springs, cables, bottom brackets and track bolts rust from the outside in, and a door that hasn't run for a month often binds or stalls the first time it's asked to open.

Binningup is a longer drive for us, so ring early in the day if you can. We agree a time on the phone, and if the house is a holiday home, tell us who will let us in or where the remote is kept. Rusted hardware is replaced, the door is rebalanced and the opener is checked for corrosion at the board. When the salt has beaten a door, we supply and fit a new roller or sectional door and take the old one away.

Close to the beach, steel hardware ages faster than the door around it. On Binningup doors the rust usually shows first on the bottom bracket and on the cable where it meets the drum, then on the roller axles and the motor rail. Hosing the salt off now and then helps. When a cable has already gone brown and stiff, replacing the lifting cables before one lets go is the smaller bill.

Binningup homes near Binningup Beach get the same visit as anywhere else we work, including Lake Clifton, Waroona and Dawesville: a hand test of the door, the fault found and shown to you, the price agreed, then the repair and a final run through its full travel with you watching.
