Garage Door Repair Grand Prairie

An essential part of the functioning of any garage door, garage door springs deserve special attention. Routine maintenance can often catch spring related problems early on so they can be addressed before springs break. Broken springs can result in a door falling, injuring people or damaging property. In the event your garage door experiences a broken spring, do not attempt to open or close the door until a skilled technician has arrived to take care of the problem. It is dangerous to try to operate a door that has a broken spring.

Do not attempt to remove, repair or replace a garage door spring. Springs should only be handled by experienced, skilled technicians. The springs have a lot of torque so they can do their job properly. One wrong move and you could experience serious injury. People have suffered major lacerations, compound fractures and even been killed from garage door springs. Do not try to wind, adjust, remove brackets or do anything unless you know how to properly handle the task by carefully following the step by step instructions.

Residential garage doors usually have one or two garage door springs. Doors that have two springs can be safer because in the event one spring breaks, there is another spring to keep the door from falling. Single spring doors may actually fall when a spring breaks. Doors that are heavier, such as those used by businesses or industries, require more springs. Commercial garage doors usually have four or more springs so the door can do its job and be held in place. Our technicians service both, residential and commercial garage doors on a regular basis.

Garage doors have one of two kinds of springs

Doors either have torsion springs or extension springs. Torsion springs operate using torsion and are placed at the top of the garage door. Extension springs extend then release, using the energy in order to operate. Extension springs are located near the top of the door, but on either side.

Your garage door opener keeps your garage door opening and closing. It is important to have an opener that is the right size and horsepower to continuously operate your door. Garage door openers are available in various horsepower, 1/3, 1/2 and 3/4. If you are in the market for a new garage door opener, our skilled technicians will take the time to explain the differences and help ensure that you get the garage door opener that best suits your needs. We want you to get a garage door opener that will provide you years of quality service.

As an example, if you have a large, heavy garage door, an opener with the lowest horsepower is not going to be sufficient for the daily operations. A small garage door opener would wear out quickly, having major issues and needing gears and possibly even a motor replaced. By getting an opener with more horsepower, you will have better service and the opener will last significantly longer because it is capable of hauling the larger load up and down during the day.

Garage door openers can also provide different levels of security for your home or business. Many now have innovative designs and are programmable so you can know about your security and safety even when you are away from home. We can also help with battery backup, battery replacement, programming remotes, universal remotes, keychain remotes and accessories or options. We specialize in the leading brands of openers, Genie, Marantec, Linear and Liftmaster. When it comes to garage door openers, they are not all the same and we can help you diffrentiate.

Routine maintenance is essential in keeping your garage door working at its best. Maintenance also extends garage door life, making sure you get as many years of service as possible from your garage door. Thus, it can be said that maintenance saves you time and trouble. Maintenance should be done twice each year, and it is a thorough but simple process that ensures your garage door parts are operating freely and functioning properly. The technician carefully inspects every part of the garage door, looking to see if any parts need replacement. Routine maintenance is preventive in nature and can make significant difference in garage door performance.

The technician looks at the springs, hinges, bearings, brackets, rollers, cables and other parts to see if they are free from excessive wear and tear or damage. A wipe is used to clean of dirt and rust. The part is lubricated, most often with a spray lubricant such as WD-40. The parts are then checked to make sure they are moving freely and operating properly. If the technician detects any problems, he immediately notifies you of the situation. By catching problems early, serious accidents can be prevented.

As an example, the breakage of a garage door spring can be dangerous. During routine maintenance, the springs are thoroughly examined for signs of damage or use that could result in breakage. By replacing these springs as soon as they have the potential for breaking, you are avoiding the risks of such a problem.
