FAST AND AFFORDABLE GARAGE DOOR

SPRING REPLACEMENTS IN SANDTON

If you’ve got a broken garage door spring on your garage door and need it replaced fast, you’ve come to the right place. Our customers are out number 1 priority and we endeavor to have your garage door up and running ASAP. We understand how inconvenient a broken garage door spring can be, taking your door out of commission and limiting both your access and security.

Here at The Garage Door Company in Sandton, garage door springs are replaced in sets. This is more a precautionary measure. When your first spring breaks, all the load is thrust on the remaining spring, applying significantly more tension, then the spring is used to and greatly weakening the steel coil. Once your broken spring is replaced, the surviving spring (in its weakened state) has to work as efficient as the new spring, and in an effort to keep up, breaks in the process.

There are several signs that can point to a garage door broken spring. These include:

1. The physical appearance.

2. The opener straining to open the door, and in some cases stopping altogether on the way up. You may also find that it closes with a loud thud.

3. The garage door is too heavy to lift in manual operation.

4. The garage door panel & garage door motor is running but the chain is not moving.

5. The garage door pulls to one side and may jam on the side of the opening when attempting to operate the door.

If, upon inspection, you find that your garage door spring is broken, cease using the door immediately, both by the motor and by hand, even if it still opens automatically. Continuing to use the garage door motor with a broken spring, even though it may work, will significantly increase the load on the motor and may cause it to burn out, greatly inflating repair costs.

CAN I REPLACE MY GARAGE DOOR SPRINGS MYSELF?

No. Only a professionally trained garage door technician should replace/repair garage door springs, and you should never try to replace a torsion spring or extension spring.

Given the extreme tension these spring systems are under, there are serious dangers involved in undertaking a repair or replacement without the proper knowledge, tools, experience, and technique. Please leave this job to a professional. Malfunctioning or broken garage door springs can pose a safety risk. These springs are under high tension and can cause serious injuries or property damage if they snap or break unexpectedly. Addressing the issue promptly reduces the risk of accidents or potential harm to yourself, your family, and your belongings.

GARAGE DOOR SPRING REPLACEMENT SERVICES IN SANDTON

Our experienced technicians possess the knowledge and tools necessary to handle all spring-related issues. Here’s how our service process typically unfolds:

Thorough Assessment: Our skilled technicians comprehensively inspect your garage door and its springs to identify the underlying problem. This assessment helps us determine whether spring replacement is necessary and if any other components require attention.

Right Type and Size Selection: We carefully select the appropriate type and size of springs to ensure optimal performance and compatibility with your specific garage door system. We prioritize using high-quality springs that are durable and designed for longevity.

Expert Replacement: Our technicians safely and efficiently replace old or damaged springs with new ones. They follow industry best practices and take necessary precautions to guarantee a smooth and hassle-free installation process.

Balancing and Adjustment: Achieving proper balance is crucial for the smooth operation of your garage door. Our technicians carefully balance and adjust the door to ensure optimal performance and minimize spring strain.

Thorough Testing: Before completing the service, we thoroughly test the garage door to ensure it operates smoothly without any issues. This testing phase allows us to make fine-tuning adjustments for optimal functionality.

SIGNS OF FAULTY GARAGE DOOR CABLES IN SANDTON

Jerky Movement: If your garage door starts moving unevenly or gets stuck while opening or closing, it could be a sign of a damaged cable. One side of the door may move faster or slower than the other, or the door may become crooked.

Snapped Cable: A clear indication of a broken cable is if you see a cable hanging loosely or entirely detached from the door. It may appear frayed or have sharp ends, indicating the need for cable replacement.

Door Not Staying in Place: When the garage door is closed, it should remain secure. If you notice that the door is sagging or falling when closed, it could be due to a faulty cable.

Excessive Noise: A malfunctioning cable can cause grinding, scraping, or popping noises when operating the door. This noise occurs as the cable struggles to perform its function correctly.

Difficulty in Opening or Closing: If you find it increasingly difficult to open or close your garage door, a damaged cable could be the culprit. The cable may struggle to support the door’s weight, making it harder to operate.

Loose or Slack Cables: Inspect the cables near the bottom corners of the door. If you notice excessive slack or looseness in the cables, it indicates a problem. The cables should be taut and adequately attached to the door.

If you observe any of these signs, it is essential to address the issue promptly to avoid further damage and ensure the safe and efficient operation of your garage door. Contact a professional garage door service for expert assessment and reliable garage door cable replacement services.

OUR PROCESS OF HANDLING AND REPAIRING FAULTY GARAGE DOOR CABLES IN SANDTON

Inspection: The technician starts by inspecting the entire garage door system, including the cables, springs, tracks, and other components. They identify the specific issue with the cable and assess its overall condition.

Safety Measures: Safety is a top priority. The technician ensures the garage door is secured and cannot accidentally move during the repair. They may disconnect the power from the garage door opener to prevent unintended activation.

Cable Removal: The technician releases the tension from the garage door springs, necessary for removing and replacing the faulty cable. This process typically involves using winding bars to unwind the springs and carefully release the tension.

Cable Replacement: With the tension released, the technician removes the damaged or broken cable from the drum and pulley system. They then install a new cable, ensuring it is properly threaded and securely in place.

Reassembly and Adjustment: Once the new cable is installed, the technician reassembles the garage door components, including reattaching the cable to the drum and pulley system. They also adjust the tension in the springs to ensure smooth and balanced door operation.

Testing and Fine-Tuning: After completing the repairs, the technician thoroughly tests the garage door. This involves checking the door’s movement, balance, and alignment to ensure everything functions correctly. They may make additional adjustments if necessary.

Hiring a qualified and experienced garage door technician is always recommended to handle any repairs or replacements for optimal safety and results. We have the expertise and knowledge to handle garage door cable replacements efficiently and safely.
