Spring failure is the most common problem in any type of door system. Each truck has a range of spring sizes, so we can easily replace the parts in a single trip.

What We Repair: Springs, Openers, Cables, and Panels

Torsion and Extension Springs

Their lifespan is not measured in years, but by the number of cycles. Utah’s cold winters accelerate the metal wear. In February, when the temperatures are high, a spring which looked fine in October can break. When a spring breaks, do not use the opener. The door will shift its weight to the motor when the spring snaps, which could damage the gears and bend the track. Let a (385) 238-1287 technician take care of it. The cables are under tension for hundreds of pounds during a spring installation. A slippage during this work could cause serious injury. Spring and cable repairs aren’t for the DIYer. Garage door repair West Valley City receives many calls from homeowners who are unable to open the vehicle’s door because a spring snapped over night. Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician. 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. Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener.

CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING

Garage Door Openers

The problem with your opener could be a defective logic board, damaged drive gears or misaligned sensors. All major brands are covered by the parts we stock in our trucks. It is possible to replace a capacitor on a motor that has burned out. Sometimes the head unit itself is no longer functional. The garage door repair West Valley City technician will first diagnose the issue before recommending a solution. This way, you don’t have to buy a new opener when a board replacement is all that is needed. Many garage door repair West Valley City calls for openers are actually caused by a wiring problem or a faulty battery.

Cables and Tracks

Cables run along the springs, and they take on a huge load during each cycle. Cables that are fraying can snap without warning. The door will fall if the cable snaps. A door that is off track can fall without warning. The door weighs at least 200 pounds. You should not lift or move the door yourself. If you are able to safely reach the wall switch, disconnect the opener. You should not try to pull the release cord when standing under an off track door. Call us on (385) 238-1287. To get your door to move again, you will need to straighten bent track sections or replace damaged rollers. Our garage door repair West Valley City team is constantly dealing with bent track and frayed cables. Neither of these problems improves by waiting. We give priority to any garage door repair West Valley City calls involving an untracked door, as a door that is in this condition can be a serious safety risk and shouldn’t just sit there overnight. Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed.

Panels and Weatherstripping

If a panel of the door is damaged by a car, it’s not always necessary to replace your entire door. Our technicians can determine if the door structure is intact, and if a replacement panel is readily available. West Valley City freeze-thaw cycles also affect the weatherstripping on jambs, and at the bottom of doors. Seals that are torn allow for cold air, road dust and pests from I-215 nearby to get inside. Seals are often discussed during garage door repair West Valley City service visits, and a technician handling a routine garage door repair West Valley City job will typically add new weatherstripping while already on the ladder. Usually, they’re added on while the technician is on the ladder. This is a cheap repair that will pay for itself in energy and comfort savings.
