REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE OF YOUR GARAGE DOOR
Firstly be sure to understand that of the two main types of garage door springs; torsion and extension, torsion sprung doors are far more dangerous to adjust on your own. For torsion sprung doors it is certainly advisable to seek the help of a professional with the experience of dealing with the immense pressure involved. With extension sprung doors it is possible to service them yourself, although you will need to recruit a friend or neighbour to give you a hand. You'll need one person to support the door whilst the other works on the springs. For your safety be sure not to attempt spring servicing without using safety cables - older springs can be very precarious. If you're not confident you can service your door safely, call us for help, most repair jobs aren't expensive. TOP TIP - for the more modern doors which are sectioned, problems with squeaky operation can commonly be solved quickly with some oiling or by replacing faulty hinges.
