Question 2

What causes track misalignment in garage doors?

Accepted Answer

Track misalignment can occur for several reasons. The most common causes include: 1) Impact damage from vehicles or objects hitting the door or tracks, 2) Worn or broken rollers that no longer guide the door properly, 3) Loose hardware and brackets that allow the tracks to shift over time, 4) Foundation settling that causes the garage structure to shift, 5) Normal wear and tear after years of operation. Regular maintenance can help prevent track issues by catching worn components before they cause misalignment. We recommend annual inspections to keep your garage door operating smoothly.

Question 7

What's the difference between extension and torsion springs?

Accepted Answer

Extension springs and torsion springs are the two main types of garage door springs, each with different characteristics. Extension springs stretch and contract along the horizontal tracks on either side of the door. They're typically found on older or lighter doors and are generally less expensive. Torsion springs are mounted on a shaft above the door opening and twist to provide lifting force. They're more durable, provide smoother operation, offer better balance, and are safer because the spring is contained on the shaft. Most modern garage doors use torsion springs. Our technicians can help you understand which type you have and recommend the best solution for your needs.

Question 8

How long does a garage door installation take?

Accepted Answer

A standard residential garage door installation typically takes 3-5 hours from start to finish. This includes removing your old door and hardware, installing the new door and tracks, installing the opener (if included), programming remotes, testing the safety features, and a complete walkthrough with you. Complex installations, such as doors requiring structural modifications or custom commercial installations, may take longer. We'll provide a time estimate during your consultation so you can plan accordingly. Our technicians work efficiently while maintaining our high quality standards.
