Garage Door Information for Homeowners and Businesses

A garage door is one of the largest moving systems in many homes and businesses. It includes springs, cables, rollers, tracks, hinges, panels, hardware and an opener that all need to work together properly.

When one component begins to wear out or fail, the entire door may become difficult or unsafe to operate.

Our information resources cover many of the questions customers ask before calling for service, including:

Garage Door FAQs

Garage door problems can sometimes appear simple but may involve several different components. Our Garage Door FAQs provide answers to common questions about repairs, maintenance, installation, openers, springs, cables, doors and other garage door equipment.

Common questions include:

Why won’t my garage door open?

A garage door that will not open can have several possible causes. The problem could involve the opener, remote, wall control, safety sensors, springs, cables, tracks or another mechanical component.

Avoid forcing a door that appears damaged or unusually heavy. A professional inspection can help determine the cause of the problem and the appropriate repair.

How often should a garage door be serviced?

Garage doors contain moving parts that experience regular wear. Periodic inspection and maintenance can help identify worn rollers, hinges, cables, springs, tracks and other components before they become larger problems.

The appropriate maintenance schedule depends on how often the door is used, its age, its condition and the type of equipment installed.

When should a garage door spring be replaced?

Garage door springs are designed to counterbalance the weight of the door and eventually wear out. Warning signs can include a door that suddenly becomes very heavy, does not stay open properly, or will not lift normally.

Because garage door springs are under significant tension, spring repairs should be handled by someone with the appropriate equipment and experience.

Should I repair or replace my garage door?

The answer depends on the condition, age, construction and overall value of the existing door. A damaged panel, worn hardware or failed component may be repairable. In other situations, replacing the door may make more sense.

Our garage door professionals can help you understand the available options based on the condition of your existing door.

Garage Door Maintenance Tips

Regular attention can help keep a garage door operating properly and make it easier to identify developing problems.

Homeowners and businesses should pay attention to unusual noises, uneven movement, vibration, doors that become difficult to lift, damaged cables, worn rollers and other changes in normal operation.

Keeping the area around the garage door clear is also important. Objects, vehicles and other obstacles should not interfere with the door’s movement or safety sensors.

If you notice a significant change in how your garage door operates, do not continue operating it if doing so appears unsafe. Contact a professional for an assessment.

Choosing a New Garage Door

If you are considering a new garage door, there are several factors to consider.

The appearance of the door is important, but it is not the only consideration. Homeowners may also want to consider insulation, construction, durability, window options, hardware, available styles and the overall requirements of the garage.

For an attached garage, insulation can be particularly important because the garage can affect the comfort of adjoining areas of the home.

Commercial customers may have different requirements based on the building, opening size, frequency of use, security requirements and type of business.

Concore Garage Doors supplies and installs garage doors for residential and commercial applications in London, Ontario and surrounding communities.

Garage Door Openers

The garage door opener is another important part of the overall system. A door can be mechanically sound while still experiencing problems with its opener, remote, wall control or safety sensors.

If your opener is making unusual noises, operating intermittently, failing to respond, reversing unexpectedly or experiencing another problem, the cause should be properly identified before replacing equipment unnecessarily.

Concore Garage Doors works with Chamberlain, LiftMaster and other garage door opener brands and can provide repair, service and replacement options depending on the situation.
