COMMON GARAGE DOOR REPAIRS

Your overhead doors can cause serious injury, or even death when not taken cared of properly. While there are some garage door repairs then you can do yourself, there are other tasks that are left to the pros.

1. Broken Garage Door Springs. The garage door torsion spring system, or extension spring system, is the force which make it so easy to lift open even the heaviest overhead doors, it is also what balance the door when it is closing and make it moving in a smooth way. When a garage door spring breaks, it is usually followed by a loud and scary noise, that make you wonder if you are going to have to purchase a new garage door soon. Luckily, a broken garage door spring is a common problem, and it does not mean that it is time to purchase a new garage door and replace the existing door, probably just a few garage door repairs will do.

2. Garage Door Tracks. You should ensure that your tracks are properly aligned by checking them out with a level. The horizontal variety of tracks should have a slight incline toward the back of your garage. If you have overhead doors, then the vertical tracks should always be precisely plumb. You should ensure that they are also perfectly aligned to each other unless you want you overhead door to jam. Garage door repairs for this situation include loosening the bolts that hold the brackets a bit then tapping the rails into position. However, it is best for you to ask for professional help with this kind of garage door repair.

3. Garage door rollers. Rollers typically wear out before the hinges. The garage door repair procedure when dealing with the bottom roller is that you’ll find that your overhead door cable attaches to the bottom roller bracket. It is best to ask for professional help since you must remove all tension from the cable before removing the bracket. The weight of the spring itself exerts good amount of force so make sure that you have a handyman to do it for you to avoid injury.
