Stair Lift Repair — FAQ

Can you fix a stair lift that stops mid-track?

If it's caused by a sensor trigger, dirty track or a battery issue, yes. If the issue is a motor, control board or wiring fault, we'll identify it and advise you to contact the manufacturer's service network.

How often should a stair lift be serviced?

Annual maintenance is typical — lubrication, track cleaning and sensor checks. Heavy daily use may warrant twice a year.

What lubricant goes on a stair lift rail?

It depends on the manufacturer. Most specify a light machine oil or silicone-based lubricant for the rack. We use the correct product and avoid grease that attracts dust.
