With the temperatures about to go below zero for the first time here in Minnesota we all know that everything seems to stop functioning properly. Our cars may not start, the roads are slippery, and of course the Garage Door may stop working. One of the most common repairs for your Garage Door is a broken spring replacement especially in these cold temperatures. The Torsion Springs on your Garage Door are made of steel and as the door opens and closes the steel is rubbing against steel; over time the friction may break the spring but the brutal cold temperatures can speed up this process. In Hugo, MN we had a customer that was just getting home from work when she noticed that her Garage Door would not open, when she went inside to take a look she noticed that she had a Broken Spring.

In Minneapolis, Minnesota we recently came across a Garage Door where the customer had re-faced the door with some decorative trim and hardware. While doing this project the homeowner added roughly 30-40lbs of weight to the garage door. By adding this weight eventually the door would have malfunctioned. The customer called us to come and rebalance his garage door to make sure it was operating safely and smoothly. We went over a couple options from replacement to just adding some tension to the current spring system. It was the customer’s decision to just add tension to the current spring to help alleviate some of the added weight. Upon completion of the work the door was balanced and no longer came crashing down when released from the garage door opener.

There is nothing worse than trying to leave your home to go to work and the Garage Door Wont Close. This is a very common issue that we run into and recently helped one of our North Minneapolis customers with fixing this problem.

Sometimes you don’t a lways see it happen but sometimes you might be trying to open the door when a loud banging sound happens in your Garage and you go to take a look and see that your torsion spring has broken, this is time for a replacement. However, there are many different sizes and types of Torsion Springs for all the different Garage Doors that are out there and while typically we can at least get your Garage Door working same day to provide a permanent fix we may have to have a custom made spring made. This was the case over in Stillwater, MN where a customer knew they had a broken torsion spring and once we arrived to their home we found that this was a much larger spring than you would normally see. They had a really heavy duty wood-overlay Garage Door that was customer built for their home so therefore they had custom springs installed.
