Faulty Garage Door Opener – Overhead Door Repair

Although it’s the front entry door that gets more attention, for many of us, the actual coming and going usually takes place through the garage. And that means we depend on the garage door opening and closing whenever we press a button. So, when the garage door opener decides to take a day off, it can leave you stuck outside, perhaps during a rain or snow storm. Though they may seem complicated, there are several easy actions homeowners can take to diagnose and repair common garage door opener problems.

Worn-Out Springs

A garage door is counterbalanced by extension springs or torsion springs connected to cables and pulleys. These springs provide counterforce to the weight of the door and allow it to be raised and lowered with just a few pounds of force applied by hand or through the assistance of a motorized garage door opener. But these springs are under constant pressure and eventually they wear out. When your garage door opener begins to struggle opening the door, or when you begin to notice that it feels quite heavy to lift by hand, it’s likely that the springs are wearing out and need to be replaced.

Replacing garage door springs is a job that many homeowners leave to a professional, since the springs are under considerable pressure and may cause injury if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Worn-Out Garage Door

Properly maintained, a garage door can last for 50 years or more, but when neglected, they may fail within 10 or 15 years, at which time there is no real choice other than to replace it. More likely, you may choose to replace the door for aesthetic reasons—because you are simply tired of how it looks and want to change the style.

Shopping for a new garage door isn’t a particularly easy process, partly because we don’t have much practice at it and there aren’t a lot of sources of good consumer information. It helps to divide the process into stages, looking for answers to these questions:
