Garage Door Repair Richardson

Both kinds of springs require routine maintenance. During maintenance, they are thoroughly inspected for damage and wear and tear. They are also treated with a lubricant to ensure they are moving as they should.
Torsion springs operate using torque while extension springs operate using stretch. The springs are there to counterbalance the door's weight, enabling it to close and open more easily. Torsion springs are hooked to a metal shaft that is located above the door. The shaft either goes through the middle of the spring or the shaft houses the spring. Torsion springs do their job balancing the door by applying torque to the shaft through drums that are located at each end. A cable is connected to each drum and is secured to a fixture at the door's bottom. The spring then unwinds and winds during the door's opening and closing so the system is balanced.

Extension springs are located on the door's sides just above the horizontal tracks

These springs are designed to stretch then contract during the door's opening and closing so they can properly counterbalance the door's weight. Residential doors have two extension springs while commecial doors require multiple springs that are located on each side. Either open or closed loops or clipped ends are used to secure the spring to the garage track's hang, pivot pin, frame or pulley.

Only a trained professional should handle garage door springs. Replacing garage door springs is a dangerous task because of the stretch that is in an extension spring that is extended or the torque that is in a torsion spring that is wound. Because of these forces, many people have had accidents during spring repair and replacement. These accidents have resulted in serious injuries, including lacerations and broken bones, and even death. Experienced technicians who are familiar with all aspects of springs, weights and parts should attempt such tasks.

Garage doors are made of various materials, including: wood, aluminum and steel

Doors are available from various materials, including wood, aluminum and steel. While wood doors are attractive and sturdy, they don't fare well in Richardson for the long haul. The city is in a humid, subtropical climate zone. The dampness will cause the wood to expand. After a while, the wood will crack and have to be replaced. With a wood door, you can expect to replace panels or the entire door. So if you have a wood door, you are going to have more expenses than you would with a door made from some other material.

The most commonly used doors are those made from aluminum. Known as standard doors, they are sturdy, but yet not too heavy. While being lightweight and strong are benefits, these doors do have disadvantages. Aluminum bends more easily than other metals. If the door will be hit or face abuse, an aluminum door is not the best choice. As an example, a loading dock would not be the best place to put an aluminum door. The hits from trucks, forklifts, pallets and so forth would cause dents and dings in the door very quickly. Based on that, aluminum doors should only be used in settings where they won't be subjected to frequent hits, such as residential settings.

Heavy duty garage door

If you need a heavy duty garage door that can withstand more rough housing than other doors, you should consider a steel back door. Steel, of course, is a strong and sturdy material that doesn't bend or dent as easily. Steel back doors work well on loading docks, at distribution centers and warehouses and even at retail establishments. By selecting the right door, you can improve longevity and decrease your long term expenses for premature replacement and repairs. Our technicians will guide you through the garage door selection process.

Maintenance is very beneficial, reducing the long term costs associated with garage door ownership. When you purchase a garage door, it should be considered an investment. Considering that standpoint, you should want to take care of the door so it will serve you for years to come. Maintenance prevents problems and promotes garage door safety.

Complete maintenance includes rollers maintenance, hinges maintenance, springs maintenance and opener maintenance. During the visit, the technician will carefully examine each part of the garage door. During the process, he will check for signs of excessive wear or damage. By doing this, many problems can be corrected before they break or completely fail. This step can often prevent spring breakage, hinges failure or doors getting off track.

Technician will spray grease on parts

After inspecting the parts, the technician will use a spray on grease or lubricant on the parts. The only parts not to be lubricated are those made of plastic. Lubricating the parts should help them move more freely. If a part does not move as it should, the technician knows to replace it immediately. This also saves time from the inconvenient failure of a garage door part when you least expect it. The door is checked to ensure that it opens and closes properly.

The technician then checks the garage door opener. He makes sure that reverse works in the event of an emergency. Batteries are checked and any belts or chains are checked to see if replacement is needed. He also checks gears and gear sprockets. If there is a flashing light or a beeping noise, those are addressed as well. After the maintenance visit, your garage door should be working as good as new. The visit does not take up much time and is much more affordable than dealing with preventable problems.

You should always take the time to schedule your garage door maintenance visits. These visits are not time consuming and could save you a lot of trouble and stress in the long run. Maintenance will improve your door's longevity and help you keep your door operating at its optimal level.
