FIX YOUR UNEVEN, JERKY GARAGE DOOR

There are a lot of things that feel a little uneven in your life, and your garage door shouldn’t be one of those things you’re still trying to balance at the end of the day. If there is a little gap at the bottom of your garage door on one side, or your garage door has been jerking back and forth, it’s probably because there’s uneven tension from the springs. Who knew you and your garage door could have so much in common?

There are two types of springs: Torsion and Extension springs. Check out this guide from Clopay to see where these are located.

Here are some common things to check:

  1. Grease the tracks/rollers. Sometimes it’s as simple as that to smooth things over.
  2. Check that the extension springs are not broken or stretched out. These run just above the overhead tracks. If they don’t need replaced, the extension springs are easy to adjust by moving the hook that holds the cable.
  3. Make sure your cables are correctly positioned on the pulleys at the end of your springs.
  4. Check the torsion spring. The torsion spring runs above your garage door. If it is broken or coils appear to be sticking up, it may be the cause of your problems. This one is more difficult to adjust, so we recommend giving us a call if this is your culprit!

Many of these repairs are quick and may not even require any parts. If you’ve checked a few things and are still stumped, give us a call! We know you don’t need one more thing to add to your balancing act at the end of the day. Whether the problem turns out to be the opener or that your rollers need replaced – we can take care of it. We might even be able to save you some money and make balancing your checkbook easier too.CONTACT US!

What our Customers are Saying:

The service was great. I did not know why the garage door wouldn’t open, but I noticed cables hanging on either side of door. Deluxe came promptly, recognized the problem of the broken spring, then replaced the spring and lubricated door parts. I found them helpful and efficient and I was very happy with the company.
