Maintaining Your Garolla Garage Door
Garolla doors are built with convenience in mind. With fewer moving parts compared to up-and-over doors, our rollers require minimal upkeep.
One of the biggest benefits of choosing a Garolla electric roller garage door is how little maintenance it needs. Unlike traditional up-and-over or sectional doors, Garolla doors are designed with simplicity in mind. With fewer moving parts and a sleek design that minimises wear and tear, you’ll spend less time on upkeep and more time enjoying your garage space.
That said, a little care goes a long way. Here’s how to keep your Garolla door looking and working at its best.
Do ✅
Clean the curtain regularly | Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent to maintain its appearance and prevent surface damage.
Fix paint chips quickly | Touch up any chips to prevent rust or corrosion setting in.
Keep the guides clear | Remove stones, leaves, or debris to ensure smooth operation.
Extra care in coastal areas | If you live near the sea, clean the door more often to prevent salt build-up. Always clean vertically, with the door fully closed
Remove ice before use | If ice forms, gently knock it away with your hand or pour warm water before opening the door.
Check the safety features | Keep the Optical Beam (sensor) and visible magnets free from dirt, dust, and cobwebs.
Ask us if you are unsure | If something doesn't seem right, contact Garolla for advice or an engineer visit.
Don't ❌
Don’t lubricate the guide rails | Garolla doors are designed to be lubrication-free – adding grease or oil may cause issues.
Avoid harsh cleaning products | Abrasive chemicals can damage the door’s surface.
Never roll the curtain with ice attached | Always clear ice before use to avoid damage.
Don't force the door manually | Excessive force can cause damage or misalignment.
Don't ignore unusual sounds | Strange noises or jerky movement should be checked right away.
Don't attempt DIY repairs | The motor and curtain are precision-engineered - always call Garolla for adjustments or repairs.
Avoid knocks and bumps | Prevent heavy objects from hitting the curtain, which could dent or impair its performance.
