Doors, openers and hardware

Doors in this climate work hard: freezing nights, salt on the driveway, humid summers. Our services cover the wear that comes from all of it, plus the upgrades that make a door easier to live with, like insulation and phone control.

Springs & Hardware

The lift cables are thin steel ropes under constant load. Rust, kinks and broken strands show up at the bottom where they meet the bracket, and a cable that gives way drops one side of the door.

  1. Steel and nylon garage-door rollers with long stems lie beside a detached hinge on a workbench. — Garage Door Roller Replacement, Toronto
    Garage Door Roller ReplacementHalfway up, the door hesitates and the opener strains before it carries on. Pulled by hand with the opener released, you feel the same catch at the same height, as if a wheel is dragging instead of turning.
  2. Metal center hinge across a seam in a white sectional garage door. — Garage Door Hinge Replacement, Toronto
    Garage Door Hinge ReplacementAfter a cold night the bottom seal had frozen to the slab. The opener strained, something gave, and now one of the upper hinges sits with its leaf bent outward and the panel below it flexes when the door moves.
  3. Gloved hands holding a vertical garage-door track and a wrench at its mounting bracket beside a door hinge. — Garage Door Track Repair or Replacement, Toronto
    Garage Door Track Repair or ReplacementHalfway up, the door lurches and one roller rides onto the lip of the channel. Near the curve the track looks wider than the rest, and the door hesitates in the same place on the way down.
  4. Gloved hands holding a bright cable and pliers gripping a frayed cable beside a garage-door track and pulley. — Garage Door Cable Replacement, Toronto
    Garage Door Cable ReplacementThe car bumper kissed the door on the way in. The bottom panel has a dent, the bracket in that corner sits crooked, and the cable on that side has jumped and gone slack, so the door reverses every time it tries to close.
  5. Detached coil springs with end fittings and a cable rest on a bench in front of a closed garage door. — Torsion Spring Replacement, Toronto
    Torsion Spring ReplacementLooking up at the coil above the door, you can see a clean split with a gap of several centimetres between the two halves. The rest of the spring looks fine, but the door has become almost impossible to move by hand.
  6. Two detached extension springs with hooked ends on a garage bench. — Extension Spring Replacement, Toronto
    Extension Spring ReplacementThe opener groans on the way up and the door slams the last foot on the way down, hard enough to rattle the windows. The motor is the same one it always was; something in the springs has stopped doing its share.
  7. A person stands beside a closed sectional door beneath its overhead spring assembly. — Garage Door Balance Adjustment, Toronto
    Garage Door Balance AdjustmentYou pulled the red cord to move the door by hand during the power cut, lifted it to about waist height and let go. Instead of staying put, it kept climbing on its own and thumped into the fully open stop.
