Futurol garage doors, roller or sectional, share the same weak points as most motorised closures. Before assuming a major breakdown, run through these checks.
The door does not respond at all
- Check the circuit breaker and the motor's power supply
- Change the remote's battery and test the wall button if there is one
- Make sure the manual release has not been left engaged
The door strains, squeaks or stops mid-travel
Dirty rails, a slack spring or worn rollers increase the effort demanded of the motor, which then goes into protection mode. Clean the rails, but leave spring adjustment to a professional: under tension, they can cause serious injuries.
The remote's range has shrunk
Reduced range points to a weak battery or a displaced receiver aerial. If the door only reacts from a few centimetres away, the radio receiver is probably at fault.
Lasting repair rather than replacement
