Where to start

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

Torsion hardware is a small kit of parts that must agree with each other: spring, shaft, drums, cables, bearing plates and centre bracket. When one is replaced we check the rest, because a new spring on a worn drum does not last.

  1. Steel and nylon garage-door rollers with long stems lie beside a detached hinge on a workbench. — Garage Door Roller Replacement, Burlington
    Garage Door Roller ReplacementSince the cold snap the door has been stiff and noisy first thing, and after the last thaw the bottom corner began to judder. There is slush in the foot of the track and a bloom of rust on the lowest wheel.
  2. Gloved hands holding two metal garage-door hinges side by side, one discolored with a visible crack and the other bright silver. — Garage Door Hinge Replacement, Burlington
    Garage Door Hinge ReplacementThe car nudged the door on the way in. There is a dent low on one end, and above it the hinge that carries the roller is bent so the panel edges rub together and squeal as the door lifts.
  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, Burlington
    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.
  4. Two coiled steel cables with loop and stop ends on a workbench. — Garage Door Cable Replacement, Burlington
    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. Detached black coil spring with metal end fittings on a workbench. — Torsion Spring Replacement, Burlington
    Torsion Spring ReplacementOn a cold morning the remote does nothing useful: the light comes on, the motor turns briefly, the door stays shut. There may be a fresh crack in a rusty coil, and flakes of orange on the floor below the shaft.
  6. Two coiled extension springs with looped ends, two black pulleys and a loop of steel cable on a worn wooden workbench. — Extension Spring Replacement, Burlington
    Extension Spring ReplacementIt is the first hard frost of the year and the door on the old detached garage has stopped halfway, squealing at one pulley. The springs are the ones that came with the door decades ago, orange with rust where they hang…
  7. A person stands beside a closed sectional door beneath its overhead spring assembly. — Garage Door Balance Adjustment, Burlington
    Garage Door Balance AdjustmentOn cold mornings the door barely makes it up. The motor whines, the door crawls, and once or twice it has given up halfway.
