Spring size is chosen by measurement, not by guess: wire thickness, inside diameter, length and the door's weight all matter. The services in this group start with those measurements so the new spring matches the door rather than the old part.
Part 1The panels
After an overnight freeze the door stuck to the slab, the opener strained, and something gave. The bottom section is bowed inward, one hinge has torn free of its screws, and the rubber seal along the bottom no longer sits flat.
Part 2The springs
Looking 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.
Part 3The cables
The door went up as usual this morning, then stopped a third of the way with one corner higher than the other. It is wedged at an angle in the opening, the opener is humming, and nothing you press will move it.
Part 4Tracks and rollers
One of the little wheels along the edge of the door has a chunk missing, another sits crooked in its hinge, and there is a fine grey dust on the floor under the track where plastic has been wearing away.
Part 5The opener
The motor runs, the chain rattles along the rail, and the door does not move a millimetre. You notice the little carriage sliding back and forth on its own.
Garage Door Safety Inspection. On bright afternoons the door goes down a metre, stops, and climbs back up while the light on the opener blinks.
Request a visitOften not. A track that is simply out of plumb, spread at the lip or loose on its brackets is re-formed and re-fixed. Replacement is for rail that has been crushed, kinked or torn by an impact, because a roller passing a tight spot will pop out again. The technician measures the damaged length against the door's roller size and tells you which case you have before any track is ordered or cut.
An opener is built to guide a balanced door, and every wheel that binds, wobbles or grinds adds resistance it has to overcome across the whole travel. It works harder, runs hotter, and may trip its force limit or reverse partway through a cycle. After roller replacement the technician confirms the door holds its own weight with the opener released, then checks the opener's force setting and its reversal on a test block, since a door that moves freely often needs those settings reduced.
Gauge runs backwards: a larger number means thinner steel. Light single doors often come with 18-gauge hinges, 14-gauge is the heavier standard for most residential doors, and 11-gauge is commercial stock. A heavy insulated double door, a door used many times a day, or a door whose hinges keep cracking benefits from the thicker option. The technician matches or improves on what was fitted, provided the width and hole pattern suit the stiles.
It depends on the door, and manufacturers disagree, which surprises many people. Some want the track kept clean and dry, since lubricant there can collect grit and let the wheels skid instead of roll, wearing the roller and the track edge; others specify lubricant at the track bend. The moving parts, roller bearings, hinge pins and springs, get their own lubricant either way, in the type the manual specifies, with a few cycles of the door to spread it.
