Torsion and extension springs
A 200 lb door feels light to lift because the springs carry its weight. A service call for garage door repair Saginaw MI over a failed spring is one of our most common service calls. Once a spring is broken, do not run the opener. Leave the door where it is and call a technician.
We stock a large inventory of torsion springs for the most common door weights used in local housing. We can also tell you if you only need a new drive gear and not a whole new opener before we recommend a replacement.
Garage door opener repair Saginaw MI
Problems with garage door openers can manifest themselves in a few ways, including the motor running but nothing happening with the door, the remote control not functioning, or the door closing and then reversing before completing the cycle. We know where to start looking to diagnose and repair problems with your garage door opener.
Never pull the red release cord while the door is open or jammed. Pull it only when the door is fully closed.
Cables, drums, and tracks
The cables are loaded every time the door moves up and down. A broken or worn cable ends with the door tilting to one side. It can get stuck in the track or fall. If a cable breaks you will need a garage door repair Saginaw MI call to repair the cable. However, this also means the tech needs to inspect the associated drums and check that the track is running square. 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.
Panels and weather seals
A cracked panel looks terrible and can cause problems in cold weather. The temperatures in Saginaw vary greatly between summer and winter with January averaging 19F above zero and July averaging 84F above zero. Moist air can enter the garage through the cracked panel and cause rust on the hardware. A single panel can be replaced if necessary, but first we need to determine if a single-panel replacement will fix the problem or if the entire door needs to be replaced. The bottom seal and side seals are straightforward parts to replace and make a big difference in cold Michigan winters. Spring and cable work belongs to a trained technician, never a homeowner. The same goes for the drive gear and wiring inside the opener.

Why Saginaw winters are hard on garage door hardware
Saginaw doors go through many hard cycles of freeze and thaw from late October until the end of March. This can put a lot of wear on many components including the springs, rollers and bottom seal.

The outlines good routine maintenance to try to catch these problems before they fail.

The Mid-Century Ranch and Post War Bungalows are very common here. Many of these homes were built with single-car garages and old doors. Many of the old doors are 30 to 40 years old. The original torsion hardware was often never replaced. As a result the old springs on these doors have cycled long past their design life. garage door repair Saginaw MI calls on 1970s and 1980s model doors typically revolve around whether a repair patch will get the homeowner through until a full replacement is needed or if a full replacement would be more cost effective in the long run.

Can you replace one spring, or do both need doing?
When two springs of the same age are failing, the second spring can fail shortly after the first. This is why our technicians recommend replacing both springs at the same time for a single return trip in a few months rather than additional work in a few months. We make this recommendation based on the condition of the parts, not to add unnecessary work.

Does the weather in Saginaw affect how often garage doors fail?
Yes. The life of springs, cables and rollers can be severely shortened as temperatures fluctuate. A near end-of-life spring can fail in cold weather as the metal is placed under greater stress than normal. In unheated Saginaw garages, for example, spring and cable failures often occur in late winter. Even with regular maintenance, hardware that is past its designed life will eventually fail under stressed conditions.
Why does my garage door open by itself, and can you fix it?
A self-opening door has, generally speaking, one of four causes: a stuck/shorted wall button, a faulty wire within the opener, a neighbor using a remote control with the same fixed code as you, or a failure of the control unit. None of them is an emergency and need to be repaired though. Our technicians on a garage door repair Saginaw MI call will identify the cause of the problem and fix it rather than just the symptoms.
