Spring Replacement 20x7

OUTSIDE VIEW AT NIGHT!

INSIDE VIEW LOTS OF ROOM!

I got called out to something you just don't see very often the other night. Broken springs on a residential full view door that was 20' wide. Needless to say I couldn't fix it that night, but I had them up and running once I pulled the springs the next day and installed them.

Just another happy customer of  GARAGE DOORS REPAIRS & INSTALLATIONS.

Opener Reinforcement Bracket & Why Is It Needed?

Opener Reinforcement Bracket

What is an opener reinforcement bracket and what is its purpose?

Different Reinforcement Brackets

Not knowing the garage door industry, when installing a new garage door opener all manufacturers of garage door openers recommend you install this in the fine print. Some garage door companies let their customers know about this and some will not. It is also recommended that the strut bar accompanies the reinforcement bracket during installation.

Properly Installed Strut & Reinforcement Bracket

Due to the weight of garage doors and their widths, the opener creates a lot of pressure on the center of the door when the motor is lifting the door initially off the ground. On larger doors, you may see several strut bars across the door due to the width of the panels. These struts support the door when it is in the air over your head. When springs become weak over a period of years, the opener is forced to work harder to lift the door, causing more stress on the top section. In the picture below, a garage door reinforcement bracket has not been installed, and as you can see, over a period of time the damage is evident.

Damage Caused When A Reinforcement Bracket Is Not Installed

There are several different types of reinforcement brackets due to panel heights (18", 21", 24") and panel appearances (steel and powder coated). They all serve the same purpose of hopefully saving you hundreds of dollars in garage door repairs. So the next time you decide to have a new garage door opener installed, remember to ask about these.

Differences In Garage Door Rollers

Do you know which type of roller you have in your garage door?

Not knowing about the garage door industry or it's products, you would be surprised at how many different rollers that can be put on your garage door. Although, the prices of the rollers do not vary a whole lot, the quality of the rollers can make a big difference on your garage door.

 Here are some examples of rollers.

• Plastic Garage Door Roller

Plastic Garage Door Roller

This roller is normally installed on your cheap, inexpensive, builders grade garage doors. They have a solid steel 3" stem with a hard plastic wheel rotating on it. Although these rollers can be quiet, due to temperature extremes and the weights of the door, the hard plastic will break over time. You might also find that these rollers drag when dirt and grease are collected on the tracks.

• Steel Garage Door Roller

Steel Garage Door Roller

This roller is a solid steel 3" stem with 10 steel ball bearings enclosed in a steel outer casing. These rollers run smoother on the door but your noise factor comes into play. Maintenance is also needed on these steel rollers, which is recommended at least twice a year by spraying them with a non-silicone lubricate spray.

• Nylon Coated Steel Garage Door Roller

Nylon Coated Steel Garage Door Roller

This roller is a solid steel 3" stem with 10 steel ball bearings enclosed with a steel outer casing that is also coated with a nylon dipped shell. These rollers are carried by most garage door service companies and are recommended change outs for the builders grade plastic rollers. These also require maintenance by using a  non-silicone spray to lubricate them. They are a much quieter roller and run exceptionally well with the heavier garage doors. Working in tandem with a belt drive opener, you door should be as quiet as a mouse.

• Sealed Nylon Coated Steel Garage Door Roller

Sealed Nylon Coated Steel Garage Door Roller

This roller is the cream of the crop! It has all the qualities of the above roller with the exception that this roller requires no maintenance. The working mechanism is all sealed in plastic, therefore no dirt or dust can get into the roller itself
