Garage Door Springs

Springs are one item that, if in need of replacement, are best handled by a professional. This part helps draw the door upward. Broken springs are very dangerous. Usually, extension or torque springs are used. Extension springs require more caution since they are more exposed and should be used in connection with safety cables.

Garage Door Seals

Located at the bottom of the garage door, seals are often made of rubber and help keep out the elements. Signs of wear indicate the need for a replacement.

Garage Door Rollers

Rollers look like large pins or screws. A bent roller means the garage door probably won’t open. These small parts still require great care.

Garage Door Pulleys

Pulleys are small, round metal disc-like objects. Cables wind around them as the garage door is drawn up.

Garage Door Cables

Flexible and under great stress, garage door cables run top to bottom of garage doors. They carry most of the weight as the door is raised.

Garage Door Handles and Hinges

Obviously, handles are used to manually open a garage door. They are often installed on automatic as well as manual doors in case the automatic function dies. Again, handles should be used with care, especially if the garage door is heavy. Hinges are metal parts used on paneled doors to keep them joined together and enables them to bend during raising or lowering of the door.

Garage Door Struts

In contrast, struts provide support for the door panels as they are moved up or down. These are metal strips on the sides of the garage doors.

Garage Door Tracks

Garage door tracks are simply what the door rolls up and down on. They are galvanized metal and run up and down on either side of the door.

This is just a basic run-through of the various garage door parts. If you are uncertain which part may be broken or in need of replacement, be sure to contact a professional service and avoid injury to yourself and further damage to your door.

Service Reviews

Lawrence took my call right away. He came out first thing the next morning. And when we had to re-schedule, he came back the same day after he was finished with all his other appointments. He not only replaced the springs on the door that needed fixing, he oiled and inspected the other door, too. He was nice, friendly, competent, and quick! Oh, and his prices were great! He gave me a discount for no reason, too. 🙂
