Leave the door where it is and call a technician. We replace both the torsion springs mounted above the door and the extension springs that run along the side tracks.

Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed.

Your garage door system in Bethesda, MD is affected by the hot and humid weather of summer and the cold and dry air of winter.Read more
Steel springs expand and contract. Your wood-composite garage door panels absorb moisture in the summer only to shrink and crack in the winter. Winter freeze-thaw cycles add stress to springs, seals and rollers. Thus, late-winter is one of the busiest times for Bethesda garage door repair for houses built in the mid-century. Our garage door repair Bethesda MD crews see the same pattern in neighborhoods like yours, and the International Door Association has a useful guide to seasonal garage door maintenance worth reading before winter sets in. Most of the houses in the area are mid-century colonials and split-levels from the 1950s-1970s. Most of these houses have original hardware on their doors. The torsion spring assemblies on these doors are approximately 30-40 years old on the Woodmont streets and on the streets on the east side of Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda.

No. Running an opener with a failed spring puts inordinate stress on the opener’s motor, cables and trolley. These are parts that were never designed to handle the load that a failed spring normally carries. These parts were never designed to withstand such stress and it is highly likely that failure will occur very quickly indeed. A door under such stress is completely unpredictable and should not be attempted to be opened/closed. Book garage door repair Bethesda MD ASAP and do not attempt to move the door. Leave it where it is for the technician to arrive and open/close for you.
Yes, often. If the majority of the door is sound and the panel that requires repair is still in production we can often replace the damaged panel(s) as opposed to replacing the whole door. We confirm the door model number prior to providing a quotation and make every effort to source a replacement panel that matches the original. A written quotation is always provided before we commence any work and clearly states the cost of repairs against that of a new door.
Most doors should be inspected once a year. For a city like Bethesda with typical freeze-thaw type winters, an annual service call would be recommended. Our service calls check the spring tension and balance of your door, check the condition of the rollers and hinges, inspect the door cables and perform a safety reversal test. If a door is used 6-8 times a day (for example multiple drivers in a household) it is recommended to check the door every 8-9 months.
The answer is yes. Wet summers bring moisture that causes steel springs and cables to begin rusting from the inside out. Dry winter weather causes wood components to shrink while metal brackets secured with fasteners are loosened by contraction. On every garage door repair Bethesda MD service call our techs look for rust on springs and cables and clean off any they find. They also test bracket fasteners for proper securement and check the condition of seals on older hardware.
This is a Safety Reverse in operation as intended. This type of auto reverse is usually caused by a photo eye having been moved, a dirty lens or travel limits having been set incorrectly. Our engineers can realign and clean photo eyes as required and reset travel limits. They then test the reverse function before leaving site. We do not disable safety functions, we fix them.
