Expert Garage Door Repair & Maintenance, Just a Call Away

Yes, to ensure your garage door operates smoothly and has a long life, regular maintenance is crucial. We advise an annual service to check safety features, lubricate moving parts, and inspect for wear and tear on elements like cables, pulleys, and rollers. While maintenance helps in prolonging the door's life, it's important to note that it doesn't guarantee unforeseen issues like spring breaks.

Garage doors typically use one of two types of springs: extension or torsion. Extension springs stretch along the track on either side of the door to lift it and are commonly found on single-car garage doors. For safety, these springs should always be used with safety cables. Torsion springs, mounted on a shaft above the door, are more durable and balance the door more evenly, making them suitable for double garage doors. Each type requires specific tools and knowledge for installation or repair.

While DIY projects can be rewarding, the complexities of garage door installation and repair, especially dealing with torsion springs, require professional expertise. These components are under high tension and can lead to serious injuries or even fatal accidents if mishandled. Professionals are equipped with the necessary tools and knowledge to ensure a safe, efficient job, saving you from potential risks and frustrations.

Absolutely, if the specific section of your garage door that needs replacement is identifiable and still available from the manufacturer, there's no need to replace the entire door. Replacing just the damaged or worn section(s) is definitely an option.
