Question 2

What causes broken springs in garage doors?

Accepted Answer

Garage door springs typically break due to several factors: wear and tear from regular use (most springs last 10,000-15,000 cycles), rust and corrosion from humidity common in our coastal Ocean Isle Beach climate, temperature fluctuations that cause metal fatigue, lack of regular maintenance and lubrication, and improper initial installation. Signs your springs may be failing include the door feeling heavier than usual, visible gaps in the springs, loud squeaking or grinding noises, and the door not staying open. We recommend annual maintenance inspections to extend spring life and prevent unexpected failures.

Question 4

How long does a garage door installation take?

Accepted Answer

A standard residential garage door installation typically takes 4-6 hours from start to finish. This includes removing the old door (if applicable), installing the new tracks and hardware, mounting the new door panels, installing the opener system, programming remotes and keypads, and performing safety tests. For more complex installations, such as custom doors or those requiring structural modifications, the process may take a full day. We always schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine.

Question 5

What maintenance does my garage door need?

Accepted Answer

Regular maintenance can extend your garage door's life by many years. We recommend: monthly visual inspections for wear or damage, lubricating moving parts every 3-4 months (hinges, rollers, springs, tracks), testing the auto-reverse safety feature monthly, checking and tightening hardware twice yearly, and professional tune-up service annually. Our maintenance plans start at affordable rates and include all of these services plus priority scheduling for any repairs.
