From springs to smart openers

Garage doors rarely fail all at once. They give hints first, and this list is arranged around those hints. Match the one you have noticed and you will see what the visit involves and which parts are usually behind it.

Springs

Springs & Hardware

Spring size is chosen by measurement, not by guess: wire thickness, inside diameter, length and the door's weight all matter. The services in this group start with those measurements so the new spring matches the door rather than the old part.

  1. Steel and nylon garage-door rollers with long stems lie beside a detached hinge on a workbench. — Garage Door Roller Replacement, Mississauga
    Garage Door Roller ReplacementThe door shudders as it rises, worst where the track bends from vertical to horizontal. Watching from inside, you can see one section rock from side to side while the others sit still, and the whole door lands with a…
  2. A person examines a central hinge joining two sections of a closed garage door. — Garage Door Hinge Replacement, Mississauga
    Garage Door Hinge ReplacementWith the door closed and a flashlight on the inside face, one of the hinges near the edge has a crack running from the screw hole to the knuckle. The steel around it is brown with rust, and the pin looks loose in its…

    Garage Door Track Repair or ReplacementThe garage floor has settled at one corner, and the door now scrapes the concrete on that side while daylight shows at the other. The track on the low side sits crooked against a jamb that has split.

  5. Person holding metal bars beside exposed coiled springs above a garage door. — Torsion Spring Replacement, Mississauga

  6. Person in a jacket facing a closed white sectional door, with coiled springs and steel tubes on a wooden bench. — Extension Spring Replacement, Mississauga
    Extension Spring ReplacementOpen the door by hand and it drifts back down on its own, a little at first and then all at once. Nothing is broken that you can see, but the springs along the tracks look tired, rusty and slightly sagging.
  7. A person stands beside a closed sectional door beneath its overhead spring assembly. — Garage Door Balance Adjustment, Mississauga
    Garage Door Balance AdjustmentThe door has grown heavy so gradually you stopped noticing, until a visitor tried to lift it and could not. The opener still manages, but it sounds strained, the chain slaps on the way up, and the wall button gets…
