Provo’s neighborhoods, especially those around BYU, were built between 1950 and 1980. Many of these homes had doors that were designed originally for manual operation, but later converted to automatic. The hardware tolerances of older doors are often looser and the brackets for the openers might not be matched up to the weight of the door.

Builders install sectional steel door openers in the newer subdivisions around Orem, and also the Southwest part of the County.

This pattern is so common in garage door repair Provo, UT requests for newer developments, that we check spring size on each visit, going well beyond the single piece that prompted the call.
