Garage Doors
Fixing, tuning and replacing
Repair & Maintenance
Long-lasting doors are not lucky, they are looked after.
Garage Door Safety InspectionOn bright afternoons the door goes down a metre, stops, and climbs back up while the light on the opener blinks.
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 morning after a thaw the opener groaned, the door stayed stuck to the icy floor for a second, then lurched up crooked.
Garage Door Panel ReplacementAfter an overnight freeze the door stuck to the slab, the opener strained, and something gave.
Garage Door Bottom Seal ReplacementAfter a spring rain there is a puddle inside the door that reaches the tires.
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 RepairThe power is out in a storm, you pulled the red cord and lowered the door by hand, and now you want to lock it.
Springs & Hardware
End bearings and the centre bearing let the torsion shaft turn freely.
Garage Door Roller ReplacementThe door is the one the builder installed and has never had a part changed.
Garage Door Hinge ReplacementThe roller at the top of the second panel is leaning outward and only half of the wheel is still in the track.
Garage Door Track Repair or ReplacementThe door has started rubbing the frame on the left, leaving a shiny stripe down the weatherstrip.
Garage Door Cable ReplacementThe cable has wrapped itself around the shaft above the door instead of sitting on its drum.
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 ReplacementOpen the door by hand and it drifts back down on its own, a little at first and then all at once.
Garage Door Balance AdjustmentReleased from the opener, the door will not hold anywhere.
Openers & Access
Emergency release cords, sensor brackets, remote batteries and wall buttons are small parts that stop a whole household from getting in and out.
Garage Door Opener Diagnosis and RepairThe motor runs, the chain rattles along the rail, and the door does not move a millimetre.
Chain-Drive Opener RepairThe chain in the detached garage went orange with rust over the winter, the links are stiff, and the opener strains and groans to pull the door up.
Belt-Drive Opener RepairThe door used to glide up with a soft hum.
Garage Door Opener ReplacementYou swapped the old wooden door for a heavier insulated steel one, and the twenty-year-old opener that was kept has never settled.
Photo-Eye Sensor Alignment or ReplacementThe small light on one of the sensors near the floor has gone dark, or it flickers when someone walks past the track.
Garage Door Remote and Keypad ProgrammingYour remote was in the visor when the car was broken into last night.
Smart Garage Controller SetupIt is February.
Emergency Release RepairHalfway up, the door lets go of the opener with a clunk and sinks back to the floor while the trolley carries on to the top alone.
Installation & Upgrades
Every installation includes the parts nobody sees: the perimeter seal that stops the wind, the threshold that keeps water out, the struts that hold a wide door rigid and the safety cables on extension springs.
Sectional Garage Door ReplacementThe garage becomes notably colder each winter, with drafts around the perimeter and condensation on thin door sections.
Insulated Steel Garage Door InstallationA refreshed exterior has made the faded garage door stand out.
Wind-Rated Garage Door ReplacementYou are combining two narrow garage bays into one broad opening.
Carriage-House Garage Door InstallationTraditional swing-out coach doors have the look you like, but the driveway needs to remain clear as the door opens.
Full-View Glass Garage Door InstallationA heated garage feels cold beside its ageing door each winter.
New-Construction Garage Door InstallationThe front elevation calls for a garage door that belongs with the windows, masonry and trim.
Commercial Sectional Door RepairEach opening cycle brings a metallic knock followed by a shudder through the horizontal track.
Commercial Rolling Door RepairThe labelled rolling fire door still moves from its control, yet the release assembly and closing path were disturbed during nearby work.
