We keep a large stock of torsion springs as well as extension springs for all sizes of garage doors found in Athens homes. For two-spring doors, we change out both springs at the same time because both springs are of the same age and under the same amount of stress and tension, so they tend to break at the same time. Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician.

The cables support the door on both sides of it. They carry the spring tension from the drums above the door down to its bottom corners.
A frayed or broken cable could cause the door to fall to one side or even to fall off the track. Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed. A door that comes off track can weigh 200 pounds or more, and it can drop without warning. Keep people and vehicles clear until a technician secures it.

Hail damage in storms in Athens can be severe. Often one very strong storm is sufficient to crack or dent a steel panel.

Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener.

Hardware for your garage takes a real beating in the hot Athens summer. A closed garage often runs hotter than the air outside and stays that way for hours.
Grease thins out in that heat, and the rollers and hinges end up running metal on metal. The heat also cooks the capacitors and logic boards found in most openers. In addition to heat, high humidity causes corrosion to contacts, surface rust to cables and cracks in bottom seals by September even though they seemed just fine in April. The International Door Association publishes maintenance guidance for doors in this kind of heat. Late summer brings the worst of it, and those failures drive most of our calls. Most Athens area homes were built between the 1940s and the 1980s. Many of these homes are equipped with extension springs not torsion springs. Many also have older hardware that has never been serviced. Our service people travel through the university area as well as the older suburbs off of Jefferson Road. We find that many of these homes have worn rollers, cracked cables and old spring hardware that has already worn out from previous cycles and the home owner had not been aware of any problems with their garage door before. These homes make up much of our garage door repair Athens GA work.

For a two-spring door it’s generally recommended to change both springs at the same time. The second spring is of the same age and has been cycled the same number of times as the broken spring, it therefore has the same amount of wear. If you only replace the broken spring you will have an uneven setup and the remaining spring will likely fail within weeks or months.

Heat builds inside a closed garage and works into the opener housing, breaking it down from the inside. The logic board usually fails first, then the grease on the drive gear breaks down. In addition, high humidity promotes corrosion on contacts of wall buttons as well as on receivers of remote controls. That is what we see on garage door repair Athens GA calls. Failure of garage door openers in this region peaks in August. Lubrication of parts and a good ventilation in the garage can only delay the inevitable wear and tear though.
An auto-opening door has usually four possible causes: a sticking wall button, a short circuit in the wiring, a neighboring old remote control working on the same frequency as your control or a faulty control board. Our technician can fix any of these on a garage door repair Athens GA service call.
