Garage door repair can be a tricky and dangerous operation if you don’t know what you are doing. There are extremely powerful springs that counter balance the weight of the garage door. The springs are connected through a torsion bar to cables. If the cables become loose it can be very dangerous. Most garage door repair should be performed by an expert.
Never attempt garage door spring repair unless you are a good engineer. This is tricky, dangerous and requires special equipment. A spring breaking is loud. If you hear a loud bang when opening or closing the door, it’s probably a broken spring. If the opener is straining to open the door, it may be a broken spring. The symptoms of a broken cable are similar to a broken spring without the loud bang.

Symptom: Bottom corner of the door is riding up on one side. If the lift cable falls out of the groove, it will throw your garage door out of alignment. This usually happens when a door is bumped during travel, or slammed on the ground. If you open the door when it has a cable off the drum, you could end up with a wedged door, a much more expensive problem to fix. This is a good reason why you should make sure that no garden tools, boxes, or anything else is placed somewhere that it could end up under your garage door.
Accidents happen. If you have backed into your Garage Door with your car or have left something in the path of a moving door, this could happen. Do not attempt to fix yourself the Springs could still have Extreme Tension on them which could result in serious injury or death. Stay clear of the door and call us for and appointment or book right here online. Our staff is available to help you solve your Garage Door Problems.

NO WD-40! WD-40 is actually a solvent and definitely will breakdown factory grease and then dry out causing more friction. Friction is metal to metal and will cause quick failures and costly repairs. Furthermore, it lures in airborne dirt and dust to it. I recommend using a high quality silicon spray. The heavier the silicon spray, the more effective. The heavier spray has a tendency to lubricate for a longer time. If you are using your door a great deal, I would recommend spraying the door every 6 months.
