Understanding and Replacing Broken Garage Door Springs
A garage door that refuses to open or closes unevenly can often be traced back to one common issue: broken springs. While this might seem like a minor problem, it can lead to significant inconvenience and even potential damage if not addressed properly. At Impact Garage Doors, we take pride in ensuring that your garage door operates smoothly and reliably. Here’s a step-by-step look at how we handle broken garage door springs and ensure a quality repair.
1. Initial Inspection
Our process begins with a comprehensive inspection of your garage door. When you contact us about a broken spring, our first step is to send out a trained technician to assess the situation. We examine the door’s overall condition, check for any visible signs of damage, and evaluate the functionality of the door. This inspection helps us determine the exact nature of the problem and plan the best course of action.
2. Weighing the Door
Once we’ve inspected the door, the next step is to weigh it. The weight of your garage door is a crucial factor in selecting the right springs. Garage doors come in various sizes and materials, each with its own weight. Accurately weighing the door allows us to determine the correct size and strength of the springs needed to ensure proper function.
3. Calculating the Right Springs
With the weight of the door in hand, we then calculate the type of springs required. Garage door springs are not a one-size-fits-all solution; they need to be carefully matched to the door’s weight and dimensions. Our technicians use precise calculations to determine the correct spring size and tension. This ensures that the door operates smoothly and that the springs provide adequate support without overloading.
4. Installing High-Cycle Springs
At Impact Garage Doors, we prioritize quality and durability. That’s why we install high-cycle springs, which are built to last significantly longer than standard springs. High-cycle springs are designed to endure more opening and closing cycles before wearing out. This not only extends the lifespan of your garage door system but also reduces the frequency of maintenance and replacements. We are committed to avoiding lower-quality springs that might save money in the short term but can lead to more frequent issues and higher costs over time. By opting for high-cycle springs, we ensure that you receive a dependable and long-lasting solution.
5. Balancing the Door
Proper balancing of your garage door is essential for its smooth operation. An unbalanced door can strain the motor, causing it to work harder and potentially leading to premature failure. After installing the new springs, we meticulously balance the door to ensure it moves evenly and smoothly. This adjustment helps the garage door opener function optimally and extends its lifespan.
