Springs

Springs & Hardware

Cables fray at the bottom bracket, drums wear grooves, bearings dry out and springs lose their set. Each is a small part, and each can leave a heavy door hanging crooked.

  1. Steel and nylon garage-door rollers with long stems lie beside a detached hinge on a workbench. — Garage Door Roller Replacement, Vaughan
    Garage Door Roller ReplacementThe door is the one the builder installed and has never had a part changed. It works, but it clatters, the wheels are hard white plastic with no bearings in them, and the opener sounds like it is labouring more each…
  2. Gloved hands holding two metal garage-door hinges side by side, one discolored with a visible crack and the other bright silver. — Garage Door Hinge Replacement, Vaughan
    Garage Door Hinge ReplacementThe roller at the top of the second panel is leaning outward and only half of the wheel is still in the track. Behind it, the hinge that should hold it flat against the door has a screw missing and another hanging by a…
  3. Gloved hands holding a vertical garage-door track and a wrench at its mounting bracket beside a door hinge. — Garage Door Track Repair or Replacement, Vaughan
    Garage Door Track Repair or ReplacementAfter a decade of slushy winters the bottom foot of the track is flaking rust. A roller squeals as it passes, and the channel edge has gone rough and thin where the salt collects.

    Torsion Spring ReplacementThe door drops the last stretch to the floor rather than settling, and when you stop it halfway by hand it slides down instead of staying put. Balance has drifted, and the spring is no longer holding its share of the…
  6. Two coiled extension springs with looped ends, two black pulleys and a loop of steel cable on a worn wooden workbench. — Extension Spring Replacement, Vaughan
    Extension Spring ReplacementA bang like a dropped toolbox came from the garage last night. This morning one of the long springs beside the track hangs in two pieces, and the door will only rise a few inches before the opener gives up and stops.
  7. A person stands beside a closed sectional door beneath its overhead spring assembly. — Garage Door Balance Adjustment, Vaughan
    Garage Door Balance AdjustmentThe door has grown heavy so gradually you stopped noticing, until a visitor tried to lift it and could not. The opener still manages, but it sounds strained, the chain slaps on the way up, and the wall button gets…
