Garage Door Repair Tucson Company AJ's Garage Door Service Announces New Service Area

The best sign of a well-functioning garage door is that it opens and closes smoothly and quietly. When it stops working as it should, the problem can be serious. Try operating the garage door manually (pull the cord attached to the arm connecting the rail trolley system to the door). If the door continues to be difficult to operate, the problem could be that the springs are out of balance. In this case, you can be confident that the problem isn't going to fix itself. And failing to fix it could result in an escalating list of worn and broken parts. Call a pro ASAP.

Having a properly working garage door will safeguard your garage and your home. We take satisfaction in being able to give the highest level of customer support to each of our consumers.

It should be relatively easy to know exactly what kind of spring device is mounted in your garage by merely evaluating the garage door. We would definitely recommend utilizing a garage repair service to handle the replacement of garage door springs. There is a great deal of safety and security risk involved with these springs and also unless you truly know exactly what you are doing you really should make use of the services of a professional. The cost isn't much compared to how you could damage your door or even injure yourself in a DIY attempt.

Garage doors all need springs to operate, as they give the stress as well as pulling power that raises the door up on its tracks. A good service technicianwill be able to fix the garage door spring or opener quickly and safely and should explain to you why it hadn't worked properly. Other inspection points you may ask about include the chain system as well as the door itself. You should know how to use the manual release function in case you ever have a power issue the door needs to be opened or closed.

Even the very best maintained garage door springs will fail and break at some point because of wear-and-tear. When one spring requires repair service, the other is likely be break not long after. Therefore, it's best if you replace both springs together as it'll cost you less in the long run.

If you run your door for a while with it not working optimally, there's a good chance your automatic opener will end up damaged (or "compromised") by the additional load or shock presented by the failure of the spring(s).

You may have indeed worn out the gear if you repeatedly cycled the door with the opener despite having broken springs, which is possible if you have a very lightweight door.

The plastic worm gear used in the most common openers wears out over the years, and more quickly when it's under extra load. It tends to leave a lot of debris inside the opener housing when it starts to wear out. Removing the opener cover reveals a lot of plastic shavings that you'll be able to see as "evidence" you need a new opener.

On occasion, the gear can be replaced for less than the full motor, but with the number of other parts involved, there's a good chance that something else will fail in fairly short order, which means the lesser money you spent on just replacing the gear will be wasted when you ultimately need to replace the entire operator a short time later.
