Every door job has its specialist

The business that fits a new sectional door every week is not always the one you want on a snapped spring. Tell us the job and it goes to a door specialist who does that work.

By door type

One door, one specialist.

We don't fit doors. We match your job with a local door specialist who does that kind of work, and they call you to talk it through.

Tell us the job

  1. You tell us the job

    What the door is doing or what you want, the door type and the postcode. A few taps.

  2. A door specialist who does it takes it

    Only one local door specialist gets your number.

  3. They call you

    From their own mobile, to talk it through and quote. You agree the price and the work with them, then decide.

Stuck open or off its track?

Off its track or a broken spring? Keep clear and don't force it.

Tell us it's urgent
  • The springs and cables hold a lot of tension. Leave them alone, and keep children, pets and cars clear.
  • Stop using the opener if the door is off its track or a spring has gone.
  • Use the manual release only with the door closed if you can: with a broken spring, an open door can drop fast.
  • If someone is hurt or trapped, call 111.

Questions people ask

Do you fit or repair the doors yourselves?

No. The Door Hero matches your job with a local door specialist: an independent business that quotes the job and does the work. You deal with them directly and agree the price with them.

Who will call me?

A local door specialist who does the kind of job you picked. They ring from their own mobile, so it may be a number you don't know. Please pick up.

My opener needs a new power point. Who does that?

A licensed electrician, who gives you a Certificate of Compliance for the new wiring. Pick "Opener or motor" and say whether there is a power point near the ceiling, so the door specialist knows before they call.

Do I need a building consent for a new garage door?

Ask your council before you assume either way. MBIE's guidance on building work that needs no consent talks about exterior doorways and never names garage doors, so the council is the one to confirm it for your home.

What if my door is stuck open or a spring has snapped?

Pick "Stuck open or off its track". The job goes through marked urgent, so the door specialist knows before they call. Keep clear of the door and don't force it.

What happens to my details?

The Door Hero holds your details. Only one local door specialist gets your number.
