One of the most common sights in suburbia is a garage. They are a great for protecting a homeowner’s vehicle as well as storing extra stuff. Without a working door, though, it is hard to get anything in and out of the garage. Often times, the torsion spring that assists with opening and closing the door breaks. When looking to repair garage door springs, Lansing homeowners should hire a professional for several reasons. Specs There are several different sizes and manufacturers of garage doors. Each one has different specifications for the torsion spring to operate effectively. Some of them may require a certain style or brand for the warranty. A professional garage door repair technician will have access to all the different styles and types of springs. They will know the exact weight and size of the door and how tight the spring needs to be wound. Specialized Tools Most of the tools involved in repairing a garage door spring are standard for most DIYers. A socket set and some screwdrivers are needed to remove the old spring from the wall and fasten the new. Winding bars are special tools used to twist the spring, adding the tension. The correct tension will move the door with ease. The most important tool professional door technicians will have is their experience. They will be able to identify the problem quickly and perform the needed repairs without wasting valuable time. A homeowner not familiar with how doors work can spend many hours and lots of money tracking down the problem. Safety If repairs are not done correctly, a garage door can be very dangerous. If the spring is not wound correctly, the door may be too heavy and slam shut every time it comes down. Or, it can be too heavy to lift. A spring that is wound too tight may throw the door up too hard and damage the tracks holding it. The spring can also break if wound too tight, sending pieces flying like shrapnel. Homeowners are often best suited to perform regular maintenance on their garage door. They can inspect the parts and lubricate the spring on a regular basis. Before starting to repair garage springs, Lansing homeowners should seek the advice of a professional repair company.
