Garage Doors in Totteridge

Automation, Supply, Fitting & Repairs

Totteridge is technically N20 and practically a village, and it has some of the largest houses and longest drives of anywhere we work. Totteridge Lane, Totteridge Common, The Ridgeway and the roads off them are gated houses on wide plots, most with a run of two, three or four garage doors.

Our work here is nearly all on doors that already exist and are expected to work, every time, on a driveway that sees a lot of use. Servicing, repairs, replacement operators, new handsets, and the occasional set of new doors when a house is rebuilt.

Local Knowledge

Multiple doors, one visit

A house with three or four automatic doors has three or four sets of springs, cables, rollers and operators, and the sensible way to look after them is a single annual service that does the lot. We check balance, lubricate, test the safety reverse and the force settings, replace anything wearing, and pair spare handsets. It is the difference between doors that simply work and one that jams with a car inside on a Monday morning.

When a door does fail here it is usually a spring or an operator that has done its years. On wide, heavy doors a broken spring makes the door very heavy and it should not be lifted by hand; ring us and leave it. Replacement operators are nearly always the Hormann Supramatic, for the speed on a wide door.

Totteridge Village is a conservation area, and the older houses along the Common suit timber. Cedar Doors make solid cedar doors to size that look right on a period house and automate with a standard operator or a hinge kit.
