This customer’s old garage door had become badly bowed and out of shape. As the door came down, the distorted sections were causing it to bind and get stuck, making normal operation difficult and unreliable. At that point, replacing a few parts wasn’t going to solve the real problem. So we removed the damaged doorContinue reading “Sometimes repair isn’t the right answer — replacement is.”

Halfway through the month is a good time to give your garage door a quick once-over. You don’t need to take anything apart or make adjustments yourself.

This customer’s opener had its up and down limits way out of adjustment. When opening, the door would only raise a couple of inches before stopping. When closing, the opener was trying to keep pushing the door down even after it had reached the floor. That kind of problem can put a tremendous amount ofContinue reading “Sometimes a bad garage door opener doesn’t need to be replaced — it just needs to be properly diagnosed.”

A broken torsion spring is one of the most common reasons a garage door suddenly becomes difficult or impossible to open.

This is one of the most common garage door maintenance mistakes we see: People notice their door is noisy or stiff, so they spray lubricant directly into the tracks. That usually isn’t what the tracks need. The garage door tracks are there to guide the rollers. They should stay clean and free of dirt, dust,Continue reading “Garage Door Tracks: Clean Them — Don’t Lubricate Them”

If your garage door starts to close and then reverses right back open, the opener is usually detecting something it doesn’t like.
