Like any complicated machine, your garage door and opener require periodic inspections and maintenance. Timely inspections can identify parts before they fail, and routine maintenance can prolong the useful life of many parts. A trained technician can identify areas of concern and make sure that your door continues to function reliably and predictably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most obvious cause is the battery. If the battery is good then the problem may be much harder to diagnose. Misaligned or obstructed sensors may prevent the door from closing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, environmental radio interference may be disrupting the signal from your transmitters. Defective or damaged electronics may also cause remote control issues. A trained service technician can quickly identify the source of the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This indicates a potential failure of one or more of the safety features of your garage door opener. While inconvenient, it\u2019s also dangerous. There are many reasons why your door may be behaving this way, so we recommend calling for a trained technician to perform a safety check and annual maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You likely have a failure in the opener drive system. This usually occurs when the garage door hardware begins to wear out. Repairing or replacing the opener may not be enough to correct the issue, and if the underlying cause is not identified and corrected the new parts or opener will likely be damaged again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chances are your door has worn or missing seals and trim. These seals usually begin to wear out after 5 years in the Florida climate and by 10 years no longer provide an effective barrier to rain and debris. Also, many older homes were built before vinyl trim became common. A trained technician can correct this problem without affecting the performance of your door or opener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No, we cannot guarantee your old parts will be compatible with your new door and may cause unpredictable issues. Also, new doors in the state of Florida are required to comply with the building codes regarding Hurricane mitigation. Every new door is tested and approved by the state and new installs must conform to their approved drawings. Any deviation from the drawing will result in a red tag and a failed inspection. From a practical perspective, the door is not much cheaper without its accompanying hardware anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Garage door counterbalance systems store large amounts of energy and can cause death, serious bodily harm or property damage if mishandled or installed improperly. While we do not recommend that an untrained individual attempt this repair, we do offer our springs at a delivered price. However, to limit our risk, we require that all our customers purchasing springs for delivery sign a waiver of liability. We will ensure that you have the correct springs, but our technical support ends there. Due to liability issues, no further instructions are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When your springs are broken, this is extremely unsafe and can result in injury, damage to the garage door and\/or opener. Most steel two-car garage doors weigh more than a couple of hundred pounds, with wood and hurricane doors weighing much more. Properly balanced and maintained springs are essential for safe and reliable operation of your garage door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Garage door spring replacement costs vary because springs come in many types and sizes. The right garage door springs provide the proper lift needed to open your door. Garage door springs, both torsion and extension, lift the of weight of your garage door every time it opens and closes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In many homes, the garage door has replaced the front door as the preferred way to get in and out. This means far more cycles than ever before. High cycle springs are designed for the way we use garage doors today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our high cycle springs are rated for 50,000 cycles. This is five times the cycle life of the average garage door spring. We also prefer galvanized springs that hold up well in the Florida humidity and it don\u2019t rub off like paint or powder coatings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
