Log book Overhaul card

The signature tool

Open a card on your door.

When a machine came into the workshops, the first thing it got wasn't a spanner, it was a card: what is it, what's it doing, how long has it run. Same here. Answer the four fields and the card fills itself in with the likely worn component, a safety steer if the spring's involved, and which visit to book.

Fill the card in and the likely worn component is entered here.

A finding, not a diagnosis: the technician confirms everything on site. The card never names a fix or a price.

What the card will tell you

  • The likely worn component. Symptoms map to running gear in fairly honest ways: a bang is nearly always the spring, grinding is nearly always dry rollers. "Likely" is the operative word.
  • A safety steer, when it matters. Two faults regularly hurt people who try to help the door: a snapped spring and a door off its track. If your card flags one, take the steer seriously.
  • The right visit. A fault points at a repair call-out; an aged door that's simply done points at a free measure and quote. The card routes you to whichever fits, with your answers carried into the enquiry so you don't repeat yourself.

What it deliberately won't

  • It won't diagnose a fix. A finding from four answers is a pointer, not an inspection. The technician confirms everything on site, with eyes on the door.
  • It won't name a price. No honest number exists before the door's been seen, so the card doesn't pretend otherwise. Repairs are priced on site before work starts; new doors after the measure.
  • It won't rush you. The card's verdict is stamped, not shouted. Book when it suits; the note it writes into your enquiry keeps the details straight whenever that is.

After the card

Your card's contents land in the enquiry form as a note you can read and edit. Add a photo of the door if you can; it sharpens the first visit. We read every enquiry and call back to arrange a time. The card's serial is just the date, in case you wondered; nothing about you is stored by the tool itself.
