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

Worcester receives over 60 inches of snow in a year, and subsequent episodes of snowfall followed by freeze-thaw cycles during spring.

The International Door Association publishes guidance on lubrication and seal checks before winter.

No. A wound torsion spring stores enough energy to cause serious injury, so leave it to a technician. The energy can cause harm when released in the wrong direction. In addition to the proper tools to safely release the stored energy, it also requires specialized techniques that are not usually available in home workshops. For garage door repair Worcester MA, let our trained technicians release the stored energy for you instead of your local hardware store.
A grinding, banging or rattling sound from a garage door could be caused by a variety of things. Usually it is dry rollers, worn or loose hinges, loose track or an unbalanced door. As most garages are left to go cold throughout the winter months the rollers and hinges on your garage door can quickly dry out. It is advisable to get any grinding or banging looked at as soon as possible and we would be happy to attend to identify any problems with your garage door.

Ice can form along the bottom seal and freeze the door to the floor, and forcing a storm-damaged door bends the tracks and strains the opener.
