Garage Door Service FAQs
How do I know if my residential garage door is properly balanced?
If you have an electric garage door opener, disable the system by pulling the red cord attached to the opener cart. You should be able to lift your door without any difficulty with just one hand, regardless of its size or the material used. A properly balanced door will weigh approximately 8 to 12 pounds (3.5 to 5.5 kg). If it seems a lot heavier to you, it’s because your spring system no longer does the counter-balancing job. Call a qualified installer.
What are the different kinds of garage door hinges?
The hinges are available in different formats, sizes, and thicknesses ( gauge ) depending on the size of the garage door and whether it has windows or all-glazed panoramic sections.
