Repair & Maintenance
Think of this as the general practice side of the trade.
Garage Door Safety InspectionBacking out in a hurry, the bumper tapped the bottom section.
Garage Door Tune-UpThe door lands with a thud you can feel through the kitchen floor, and sometimes it bounces back up a few centimetres before settling.
Off-Track Garage Door ResetThe rollers on the door have been squealing for months.
Garage Door Panel ReplacementFrom outside, the horizontal groove between two sections now steps sideways by a centimetre.
Garage Door Bottom Seal ReplacementOne end of the bottom seal has slipped out of its channel and hangs down like a loose shoelace.
Garage Door Perimeter WeatherstripDry leaves keep appearing in the same corner inside the garage, and this fall there were mouse droppings along the wall beside the door.
Garage Door Manual Lock RepairYou pushed the slide bolt across like always, but tonight it stops short of the slot in the track and springs back.
Springs & Hardware
If the door dropped suddenly, hangs crooked, or needs real effort to lift by hand, the spring and cable system is where we look first.
Garage Door Roller ReplacementOne of the little wheels along the edge of the door has a chunk missing, another sits crooked in its hinge, and there is a fine grey dust on the floor under the track where plastic has been wearing away.
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.
Garage Door Track Repair or ReplacementThe door climbs crooked, one side clearly ahead of the other.
Garage Door Cable ReplacementAfter years of slushy winters the cables look thinner near the bottom brackets, with rust streaks running down the door where they attach.
Torsion Spring ReplacementOn a cold morning the remote does nothing useful: the light comes on, the motor turns briefly, the door stays shut.
Extension Spring ReplacementOne of the springs beside the track is hanging loose at the front end, its pulley dangling, and a length of cable lies slack along the top of the door.
Garage Door Balance AdjustmentReleased from the opener, the door will not hold anywhere.
Openers & Access
Newer remotes change their signal every time they are pressed, so a captured signal cannot be replayed.
Garage Door Opener Diagnosis and RepairFor a few days there was a grinding sound whenever the door started moving.
Chain-Drive Opener RepairThe rail shakes when the door runs.
Belt-Drive Opener RepairIt is minus twenty in the detached garage and the door climbs in jerks, the belt stiff as a board.
Garage Door Opener ReplacementYou want the ceiling back.
Photo-Eye Sensor Alignment or ReplacementYou press the remote, the door drops a few centimetres, then climbs straight back to the top while the opener light blinks.
Garage Door Remote and Keypad ProgrammingYou bought a new remote at the hardware store, followed the little leaflet twice, and the opener light never blinked.
Smart Garage Controller SetupYour daughter gets home from school an hour before anyone else.
Emergency Release RepairSomeone pulled the cord last spring to get a car out during an outage, and the door has never properly rejoined the opener.
Installation & Upgrades
Modern doors are quieter than the ones they replace: nylon rollers, insulated sections that do not drum in the wind and belt-drive openers all contribute.
Sectional Garage Door ReplacementSeveral sections are rusting along their lower edges, and one has begun to bow.
Insulated Steel Garage Door InstallationYour garage is becoming a workshop, but the thin single-skin door rattles, sweats and lets outdoor temperatures shape the whole room.
