Garage Door Repair & Maintenance FAQs

Is regular maintenance necessary for garage doors?

Yes, regular garage door maintenance helps ensure your door operates smoothly and lasts as long as possible. We recommend an annual service for homeowners and businesses in Rhode Island and Massachusetts 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.

What is the difference between extension and torsion springs on a garage door?

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. Both types of springs require specialized tools and experience for garage door repair or replacement, which is why professional service is recommended.

Should you install or repair a garage door by yourself?

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. Serving homeowners in Providence, Warwick, Cranston, and across Rhode Island and Massachusetts, the experienced team at Affordable Overhead Door ensures the job is done safely and correctly. Our professional garage door technicians have the proper tools and training to complete repairs efficiently and help prevent future issues.

Can you replace just part of a garage door?

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.
