Thorton Woods Garage Door Experts
A well-kept garage door is nearly silent, and quiet is one of the things people notice most after we leave. Rattles come from loose hinges and worn rollers; groans come from dry bearings and a spring under uneven tension; a clatter on the way down usually means the door is out of balance. We chase each sound to its source rather than drowning it in lubricant. Nylon rollers, fresh hinges, a balanced spring set and a properly tensioned chain or belt transform how a door feels every morning. It is a small luxury we enjoy handing over.

How a visit goes
Off-track doors are really two problems in one, and the reset addresses both. The first is the visible one: a roller outside its rail and a door out of square.

2021 census · what it means at the door
59%Older homes
About 59% of homes in Oshawa were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
Extension springs are common on older doors, and they should carry a safety cable through the middle so a broken spring is held rather than flung. Adding those cables is a small job the technician checks for and offers on any older door he services.
56%
Single-detached houses make up about 56% of homes in Oshawa (2021 Census).
In areas mixing houses with townhouses and condos, a technician often works on several doors on one street, some owned outright and some looked after by management. Scheduling them together saves everyone time, and we are glad to plan a visit that covers the group.
