Springs

Springs & Hardware

Balanced doors are lighter on everything: the opener, the hinges, the rollers and the arms of anyone who has to lift them in a power cut. The spring and cable work here is how that balance is set and kept.

  1. Steel and nylon garage-door rollers with long stems lie beside a detached hinge on a workbench. — Garage Door Roller Replacement, Oshawa
    Garage Door Roller ReplacementThe door is the one the builder installed and has never had a part changed. It works, but it clatters, the wheels are hard white plastic with no bearings in them, and the opener sounds like it is labouring more each…
  2. Metal center hinge across a seam in a white sectional garage door. — Garage Door Hinge Replacement, Oshawa
    Garage Door Hinge ReplacementEvery time the door goes up there is a sharp pop from the same spot, about a metre off the floor, and the whole door gives a little shudder. Come back down and it happens again at exactly the same place.
  3. Gloved hands holding a vertical garage-door track and a wrench at its mounting bracket beside a door hinge. — Garage Door Track Repair or Replacement, Oshawa
    Garage Door Track Repair or ReplacementThe door climbs crooked, one side clearly ahead of the other. Nothing looks broken, but the two tracks sit different distances from the door, and one leans in toward the opening near the top.
  4. Gloved hands holding a bright cable and pliers gripping a frayed cable beside a garage-door track and pulley. — Garage Door Cable Replacement, Oshawa
    Garage Door Cable ReplacementThere was a sharp crack from the garage, and when you went to look the door had dropped on one side and jammed. A length of cable lies coiled on the floor by the bottom roller.
  5. Detached coil springs with end fittings and a cable rest on a bench in front of a closed garage door. — Torsion Spring Replacement, Oshawa
    Torsion Spring ReplacementOn a cold morning the remote does nothing useful: the light comes on, the motor turns briefly, the door stays shut. There may be a fresh crack in a rusty coil, and flakes of orange on the floor below the shaft.
  6. Two detached extension springs with hooked ends on a garage bench. — Extension Spring Replacement, Oshawa
    Extension Spring ReplacementA bang like a dropped toolbox came from the garage last night. This morning one of the long springs beside the track hangs in two pieces, and the door will only rise a few inches before the opener gives up and stops.
  7. A person stands beside a closed sectional door beneath its overhead spring assembly. — Garage Door Balance Adjustment, Oshawa
    Garage Door Balance AdjustmentOn cold mornings the door barely makes it up. The motor whines, the door crawls, and once or twice it has given up halfway.
