Operators: Lifters for Your Garage Door

A garage-door opener uses a motor, rail, trolley, and door arm to guide a properly counterbalanced door through its travel. The springs offset the door’s weight; the cables remain seated on the drums and help the door move evenly. If the opener strains, the door sits crooked, or cables appear loose, stop operating the system and have the complete door inspected.

Why You Deserve Professional Garage Door Service

More than a convenience, your garage door is an essential part of your home security. Whether it’s getting the kids to school, leaving
for a dental appointment, or heading out for well-earned recreation, the tasks of daily living demand a reliable garage door.
A close look at your garage door reveals a surprisingly complex system and a compelling case for San Antonio Garage Door
Masters when you need repairs or other garage door service.

Springs: Coiled Energy

Garage-door springs counterbalance the door’s weight by storing and releasing torque as the door moves. Torsion and extension systems behave differently, but both work beside high-tension cables, drums, brackets, and hardware. A visible spring gap, crooked door, loose cable, or opener that strains is a reason to stop operating the door and arrange professional inspection.

Slack Cables

Properly calibrated garage door springs maintain tension on the cables with your door fully raised. If you observe slack in one of your cables, this indicates a problem in the torsion spring assembly.

A Crooked Door

One corner of your door may ride low with a broken spring. If not addressed promptly, this situation causes considerable wear to other components and may necessitate extensive garage door repairs.

Rapid Descents

A broken spring may allow the door to lower too rapidly in
the closing cycle.

Partial Openings

A door that opens a few inches and stops indicates stress
on the lifter motor, another indication of a broken spring.

The Visible Face of Your Garage

While many homeowners give little thought to their garage doors until they need repairs, this essential component of your home’s exterior deserves your attention. A new garage door can give your home an updated look and boost its curb appeal, which is especially important if you’re planning to sell.

When shopping for a new garage door, keep in mind that the style of your door makes a difference in its overall look. For example, carriage house garage doors add a touch of old-world charm, while modern styles can give your home a sleek, contemporary look.
Your choice of material is another important factor to consider. Wood garage doors offer natural beauty, but they require more maintenance than
doors made from other materials. Steel and aluminum doors are low-maintenance options that come in a variety of styles. Fiberglass and vinyl doors are also low-maintenance, but they may not offer the same level of security as steel or aluminum doors.

Once you’ve selected the perfect garage door for your home or business, trust the experts at Garage Door Masters in San Antonio, Texas, for professional garage door installation. Our garage doors service technician team install garage doors product lines from leading manufacturers in the garage door industry so that you can be confident in the quality of your door.

DIY Spring Replacement: Don’t Do It Yourself

Even with a relatively lightweight door, coiled garage door springs store enormous energy. That energy makes a do-it-yourself spring replacement a hazardous — and possibly fatal — endeavor. Avoid the emergency room and leave the task to Garage Door Masters, your San Antonio garage doors repairs resource. If your door has two springs, it’s wise to replace both assemblies. Your technician can also ensure that the new springs match your door’s weight, thus heading off future maintenance and safety issues.

Lift cables transfer counterbalance force through the drums or pulleys as the door moves. Fraying, slack, uneven wrapping, corrosion, or a crooked door can indicate a cable, drum, spring, or alignment problem. Do not touch cables, drums, springs, or bottom brackets; stop using an unstable door and arrange trained inspection.

Located on each side of your garage door, tracks are the metal channels that guide your door on its daily up-and-down journeys. When these tracks fall out of alignment, noise and excessive roller wear may result. In the worst circumstance, your door’s rollers may jump one or both tracks and leave your garage portal impassable.

Rollers guide the door through the tracks. Wobbling, binding, flat spots, unusual noise, or a roller leaving the track may indicate wear or another alignment problem. Observe only from a safe distance during normal operation when the door is stable; do not cycle a noisy, crooked, binding, or off-track door to diagnose it. Roller and hinge work can involve pinch points and high-tension hardware, so arrange trained service.
Photoelectric sensors are one part of the opener’s entrapment-protection system. Keep the lenses clean and aligned only as the manufacturer’s manual directs. From outside the door’s travel path, test the photo eyes and contact-reversal system exactly as the opener manual specifies. Never stand or reach under a moving door. If either test fails, stop using automatic closing and arrange service.

Stop using the wall control, remote, and opener. Keep people and vehicles clear, and do not pull the emergency release, lift the door, or touch springs, cables, drums, tracks, or brackets. Arrange trained service to stabilize and inspect the system.
