Garage Door Spring Replacement
Your springs are one of the most crucial parts of your garage door. They perform the task of counterbalancing the weight of the garage door, making it feel nearly weightless, letting it hover in certain positions without dropping to the floor due to weight. These springs over a long period of time repeat a cycle of tension and release, which makes them eventually wear out. You can likely see how these springs are important, and for them to wear out or break could be potentially costly to you or even injure someone. They aren’t costly to replace in on themselves and the repair is pretty quick and easy. The problem with it is the fact that leaving them worn or broken can potentially break other parts of your garage door, leaving you with a pretty big bill if you need to replace more than just the springs. This is why you inspect your garage door springs often, and if they’re in need of repair or replacement, don’t hesitate to call 7B Garage Doors. (IDA)
Garage Door Opener Repair
The opener controls the automatic up and down motion of your garage door. As all mechanical things do, it eventually can wear out with repeated use. However, not only can the opener eventually break, but the safety systems that come with it can as well. Considering they’re named, “Safety Systems,” you can assume that if that is broken, it can turn pretty dangerous. If your opener runs but the garage door doesn’t open, that can be a pretty apparent sign that your garage door opener is going out. If your safety system is going out, something to look out for is if your garage door randomly starts to back up, which is another give away that your garage door opener is broken. If you notice any of these signs, along with multiple other possible ones, please call 7B Garage Doors, as these types of things can turn from pretty regular to dangerous fast. (CPSC)
Garage Door Roller Inspection & Replacement
Garage door rollers are the things that roll on the tracks. These things do stuff like making it super smooth. Now, if these rollers are worn, this smooth movement turns into a really rough motion. Symptoms of this can include things like squeaking while opening, grinding, excessive vibration, door shaking while opening or closing, door moves unevenly, or visible roller wear. You may look up online how to fix this and they’ll recommend lubricating the rollers, but there’s a difference between doing that to semi worn rollers, and completely worn rollers. Once they’re worn, it’s time to get them changed. So, if your door was previously quiet, and is now extremely noisy, it’s about time to call 7B Garage Doors. (CPSC)
Garage Door Weatherstripping
Weatherstripping is the seal between the garage door and the outside world. It helps keep out the outside elements from your garage door. This weatherstripping seal goes from bottom, to top, with each side. Eventually, after protecting your home from getting dust, water, bugs and more for years, it’ll start to wear. Common signs include cracking, light visibility on the inside of the garage, drafts coming from the door, and lots of debris coming into the garage. While this is more of just a comfort thing, no one wants lots of bugs inside their garage. You probably don’t even want any dust and debris in there. So that’s why 7B Garage Doors does weather sealing for you, make sure to call us if you get tired of bugs getting into your garage. (DOE)
Garage Door Safety Inspections
Garage doors have many safety features. Things like the automatic door reversal system, cables and springs, all of which make sure no one gets hurt if something goes wrong. Homeowners need to pay attention to any sign that these systems are going because if they don’t, they might get someone hurt. Signs that the safety systems are going can be the door not stopping when it encounters an obstruction, the door continues closing when it should reverse, lots of inconsistencies with the safety system. Now, 7B Garage Doors offers safety inspections, and you should get them done pretty often to prevent any injuries. (CPSC)
