Spring Repair and Replacement

The torsion springs on your garage door do most of the work in raising and lowering the very heavy garage door; Due to how important they are, they are frequently an issue and need to be maintained and / or repaired frequently. 

Saggy springs can quickly become both a safety, and functional hazard. 

If you are worried you may have sagging springs, call Seattle Garage Doors today to come out and repair the springs for you, they are not something to mess around with. 

Cable Repair

A common problem with some older garage doors is misalignment in the cables, and / or the cables detaching from the pulleys. 

While this may seem like a non issue, it will keep your garage door from functioning properly, and should not be attempted to be repaired as a “DIY” project. In order to realign and adjust the springs, you must loosen the torsion bars, which can be very dangerous, which is why Seattle Garage Doors will do it for you. If you are in need of a cable repair in Seattle we can help! 

Emergency Release Repair and Maintenance

Every garage door comes fully equipped with an emergency release, but not every emergency release is properly inspected, tested, and maintained. 

In the event of a blackout, you may need to either get in or out of your garage, but unfortunately, you won’t have the convenience of your remote. That is why we can maintain, and if necessary, repair your emergency release so that your garage door is always ready for action. 

This is an important function to have working on your garage door, so if it is broken you should call Seattle Garage Door Repair Personnel to come and repair it right away. 

Force and Reverse Safety Tests

Have you performed a force and reverse safety test on your garage door? Garage doors have come a long way since their first incarnation around 450 B.C. They are no longer operated by chariot, and they are much more efficient. 

Even since the modern garage door was developed at the turn of the 20th century, there is little in terms of hardware that is the same. Early garage doors posed a great safety risk to all those around the door, especially children and family pets. Luckily, with the advent of modern technologies, the garage door has evolved over time. 

Every garage door built after 1982 has a reversing system built in to ensure that nothing can get caught by your garage door. The only question though, is whether the force required to initiate the reversing system is properly calibrated, which is a test we routinely perform for most of our customers. 

Not only do we check the calibration of the force, but also to ensure the reversing system is functioning properly.

Track Alignment for Your Garage Door

Our door repair team understands that proper track alignment is crucial for the smooth operation of your garage door. Misaligned tracks can cause a range of issues from noisy operation to complete stoppage, potentially leaving your garage door unusable. That’s why our team of experienced technicians is here to provide precise track alignment services that ensure your garage door operates smoothly and safely.

How We Handle Track Alignment:

1. Comprehensive Inspection: Our process begins with a thorough inspection of your garage door tracks. We look for signs of wear, bending, or misalignment that could be causing issues with your door’s movement. By identifying these problems early, we can address them before they lead to more significant damage or safety concerns.

2. Precision Alignment: Using specialized tools and years of expertise, our technicians carefully adjust the tracks to ensure they are perfectly aligned. This includes checking the horizontal and vertical alignment and making sure the tracks are parallel and level across the entire system. Proper alignment reduces stress on the garage door opener and can significantly extend the life of your door.

3. Lubrication and Testing: Once the tracks are aligned, we lubricate them to reduce friction and wear during operation. We then conduct multiple tests to ensure the door operates smoothly without any sticking or resistance. These tests help us confirm that the alignment is correct and the door is set to provide reliable performance.

4. Final Adjustments and Recommendations: If any further adjustments are needed, our repair team will take care of them on the spot. We also provide you with recommendations for maintaining your garage door tracks, helping you prevent future misalignment and enjoy a hassle-free operation.

5. Continued Support: After our visit, we remain available for any questions or additional services you may need. Our goal is to ensure your garage door system functions perfectly and that you are completely satisfied with our service.

At Seattle Garage Doors, we pride ourselves on delivering high-quality, reliable garage door services throughout Washington. Proper track alignment is just one of the many services we offer to keep your garage system in top condition. Don’t let a misaligned track disrupt your day-to-day activities.

No Job Is Too Small, No Job Is Too Big

Nothing is too much for the professionals at Seattle Garage Doors. That’s not a slogan, it’s our business model. Some garage door repairs are simple, some are tricky. 

Over the years we’ve learned that garage door openers can sometimes turn on their owners unexpectedly, acting all wide-eyed and crazy, and rising and falling on their own. That’s the time to call Seattle Garage Doors, at the very first sign of trouble.

There are two kinds of garage door malfunctions; those that happen to your neighbors, and those that happen to you. When your neighbor’s garage door fails, it’s kind of funny. 

You get to see the people next door in a panic with their cars trapped inside. But when it happens to you, not so funny. 

Your door or opener will likely fail on the morning of an important meeting, when you’re already 20 minutes late. Don’t bother calling around the other garage door repair companies at that point. They’ll probably offer you a same-week appointment, if you’re lucky. Call Seattle Garage Doors right away and we will send someone to repair the door.
