Keep Your Garage Door Balanced

Here at Neighborhood Garage Door Service of Hartford, CT, we suggest that you take a good look at your garage door to determine if it is balanced. An unbalanced garage door can present many problems, including risk of falling.

Risks Of an Unbalanced Garage Door

One of the biggest risks of having an unbalanced garage door is that the cable or springs could snap. This cables and torsion springs are what keep the door from closing shut. This is a very dangerous thing for you and your family.

When an overhead door is not balanced properly, it can cause extra wear and tear to these parts. The more wear and tear on the parts, the more risk there is for breaking.

Not only is there a risk for the springs and cable to break, but an unbalanced door also puts additional strain on the motor. It can make the tracks become bent as well as cause loud noises when the door is opening and closing.

Have Your Door Balanced By Professionals

Professional garage door technicians help keep you safe

Due to the nature of this repair, it is best to have a professional handle the balancing. When working with the springs and cables, you must be extremely careful. Even a certified technician can suffer harm if things go wrong.

Neighborhood Garage Door Service of Hartford is able to send a technician to your home to handle the balancing. While they are there, they can inspect all of the parts of your assembly for wear and tear.

If your door has been out of alignment for a while, you might need to go ahead and have certain parts replaced.

How to Know If The Door is Unbalanced

So how do you know if you need to call us? Here’s a few signs the door is unbalanced.

  • The door looks uneven- if your door is so out of alignment that you can visibly see that it is uneven, stop using it until you can get a tech out to your home.
  • Loud noises- should you hear a lot of noise when you open and close the door, it could be a good indicator that adjustments need to be made.
  • Uneven worn rollers- as the rollers glide along the tracks, they should wear out evenly. If you notice that there is wearing on one side or the other, it can be a sign that the door is not balanced.
  • The door won’t open- there can be many reasons that your garage door won’t open. Being out of alignment is one of those reasons. If the tracks become bent, it will keep the rollers from being able to lift the door.

They sent Doug Fussell out to my house on the day after Christmas! I had only called them three days before! Doug was a premier technician, very thorough and very efficient. I expected him to take two days, since he was replacing two doors and adding openers on each door. He only took the daylight hours of one day! I could not believe how fast he was! In addition, he thoroughly taught me how to use the remote openers. I highly recommend them to anyone!

We just bought a home and this company was so understanding as I had to change the appointment time a few times. Then the tech came out and was so kind and helpful. I could not have asked for a better experience and will suggest them to anyone who needs work done on their garage door!

My garage door broke on a Saturday night as I was getting ready to leave for a holiday party. Kelvin was here within 30 minutes. He reviewed everything with me that was happening with my door. He gave me the estimates of what was immediately needed to be done in order for my door to raise and then what I will need to have done very soon. I could see all the problems he pointed out to me and I decided to have everything done. He completed everything that night. I was very satisfied with Kelvin’s professionalism and the work he did. Thank you again.
