Sections

Sections for doors are very specific to a manufacturer. And while they all look the same from the street, they are all different in some way. Pattern sizes, colors, section stiles, grain patterns all vary between manufacturers. So, if you drive into your garage you may be lucky to get the same panel. We do carry about 6 different brands and styles but there are many more out there. Another thing to consider is that the new panel you replace isn’t going to be sun faded like all the other panels on your door. So it’s hard to just replace one on your door and expect it to look good. You will most likely have to paint the door after the section is replaced. Often times it’s better to replace all of the sections. Another rule of thumb; if the door is older than 6 years, it is sometimes cost effective to replace the whole door. For a 16 x 7  door expect the new complete door to cost about $650 to $800 depending on manufacturer. If we just do the sections, subtract about $100. It’s best to get a free estimate when the panels are damaged. smaller doors cost less.

Track

Track is the metal railing on which your door travels. Most track is pretty standard, but there are exceptions. When replacing track, like all other parts, we recommend bringing in the bad part. This will allow us to ensure that we get you exactly what you need.

Hinges

Hinges come in a variety of different sizes and have numbers on them. When you are replacing hinges, you MUST replace them with the same number on the hinge. Bring an old hinge with you if you come in, and we’ll ensure that you get the part  that you need. 

Struts and Torsion Tubes

Doors can bend and sag. A reinforcement strut be added to support the damaged section. We stock struts for must doors in-house. If you decide that you one, remember that they are usually 16 ft long! It will not fit in your car or the bed of your truck. We carry them on special racks. The same is true for panels and torsion tubes. 

Bottom Seal

Bottom seal or “astragal” is the rubber at the bottom that seals your door and protects your garage from weather, leafs, insects, and critters. It can shrink, tear, and be eaten away by rodents. Replacement seal must be identical to the seal that went bad. There about 6 different types of bottom seal. Some are very easy to replace, others, not so much. Give us a call and send us a picture of your door and faulty sealing. We recognize and stock most types.

Springs

The torsion springs on your garage door are designed to make it seem very light; however, they don’t last forever. Most garage doors installed by builders are designed for about 10,000 cycles. That’s about 10 years if you open and close your door 3 times a day (but most people use their doors more than that). Spring replacement is something of a specialty for us. 

Garage door springs or “torsion springs” can be very dangerous. When they break, they no longer support weight, and the door becomes incredibly difficult to open/close. Since a typical door weighs about 150 lbs, you will likely not be able use the door until they are replaced. This is an incredibly common problem, so our technicians can quickly and painlessly recognize the correct springs required to get your door back in working order. Our technicians carry the most common springs with them on their trucks to every job.

Remotes

We stock a variety of remotes from various opener brands. These include key-chain remotes, car remotes, and more. 

Gears and Sprockets

It’s a fact of life that most operators are going to have parts that wear out. Craftsman, Chamberlain, and Liftmaster have gears that wear out after many years that need replacing. Genie operators have trolleys and switches that too go bad over time. We stock most of these parts in-house, and our technicians carry most of them on their trucks regularly. Some are easier to replace than others, and some require specific tools. 

Photo Eyes

The electronic sensors are critical to the operation of your door and can go bad with time. The slightest misalignment of your photo eyes can cause your door to have issues closing or functioning correctly in general, so be sure that the lights on your photo eye are continunously lit.
