When a door stops

PAUSE THE
MOVEMENT.

THRESHOLD · PORTLAND

A damaged or unresponsive door needs an appropriate professional assessment. This fictional demo is not an emergency response service.

01

Keep the area clear

Keep people and pets away from a damaged or moving door. Do not force a door that is off its track.

02

Leave tensioned parts alone

Do not attempt to adjust springs or cables. Tell a qualified service provider what you have observed from a safe position.

03

Explain what changed

Describe the movement, sound or visible damage without operating an unsafe door to reproduce the issue.

04

Arrange the right help

Use a real qualified local provider for an urgent situation. The telephone number and enquiry form in this demonstration are fictional.
