A tune-up is not glamorous: tightening hinges and brackets, lubricating rollers and bearings, resetting spring tension, checking the opener force and travel. Together those steps keep a garage door in Crescent Harbour running for years and catch the one part that would have failed on the coldest morning of the winter. Calls from Glenhaven Beach are covered too.

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 visitWith the opener disconnected, the door is lifted by hand. If it moves with light effort and stays put at waist height, the springs are carrying its weight as designed. If it drifts up, sinks or feels heavy, the springs are out of step with the door and the opener has been doing the lifting. That strain shortens the opener's life and can defeat its reversal settings, which is why balance is checked first.
The door is left closed and not operated with the opener, because a door with a broken spring weighs its full weight and can drop. The technician explains what was found, shows you the break, and quotes the spring replacement as its own job, usually replacing both springs on a two-spring door so they wear evenly. The rest of the tune-up either waits or continues on the parts that can safely be serviced with the door down.
Often 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.
Watch the door move. A cosmetic dent leaves the section flat at the joints, the door travelling without a catch, and the hinges and rollers seated normally. Signs that the damage goes further include a crease that reaches a joint or stile, a hinge screw that has pulled out, a roller sitting crooked in the track, a gap of daylight at a joint, or a shudder as that section reaches the track curve. Any of those calls for a proper assessment.
