Fixing, tuning and replacing

The opener is the part people notice, but the door does the heavy lifting. We keep both healthy: motor and logic board on one side, springs, cables and balance on the other, so neither one is fighting the other.

Springs

Springs & Hardware

Doors that are hard to lift by hand, or that slam shut when released, are out of balance. Balance lives in the springs, and the services here restore it, whether that means new springs, a fresh cable or a careful adjustment.

  1. Steel and nylon garage-door rollers with long stems lie beside a detached hinge on a workbench. — Garage Door Roller Replacement, Markham
    Garage Door Roller ReplacementA roller near the top corner is riding on the lip of the track rather than inside it, and the section above leans back a little more each week. The door still moves, but it looks one bump away from coming out altogether.
  2. A person examines a central hinge joining two sections of a closed garage door. — Garage Door Hinge Replacement, Markham
    Garage Door Hinge ReplacementPressing a hand against one of the middle hinges makes it rock on the panel. The screws turn and turn without ever tightening, and there is a rattle from that spot every time the door settles onto the floor.
  3. Gloved hands holding a vertical garage-door track and a wrench at its mounting bracket beside a door hinge. — Garage Door Track Repair or Replacement, Markham
    Garage Door Track Repair or ReplacementYou bought the house with a door that sticks near the top of its travel. The vertical track was screwed tight against the jamb, so the door drags along its stop moulding on every trip instead of swinging clear.

    Garage Door Cable ReplacementYour older door has springs along the tracks, and one cable has slipped off its pulley and dangles slack. The door lifts crooked and needs a shoulder to close, when it used to glide.
  5. Person holding metal bars beside exposed coiled springs above a garage door. — Torsion Spring Replacement, Markham
    Torsion Spring ReplacementLooking up at the coil above the door, you can see a clean split with a gap of several centimetres between the two halves. The rest of the spring looks fine, but the door has become almost impossible to move by hand.
  6. Person in a jacket facing a closed white sectional door, with coiled springs and steel tubes on a wooden bench. — Extension Spring Replacement, Markham
    Extension Spring ReplacementA bang like a dropped toolbox came from the garage last night. This morning one of the long springs beside the track hangs in two pieces, and the door will only rise a few inches before the opener gives up and stops.
  7. A person stands beside a closed sectional door beneath its overhead spring assembly. — Garage Door Balance Adjustment, Markham
    Garage Door Balance AdjustmentWith the door closed, daylight shows under one bottom corner and the seal is squashed flat at the other. As it rises, the left side leads by an inch or two, and the top section twists slightly as it turns into the…
