Metal-on-metal noise usually comes from worn steel rollers, dry hinges or a bent track edge. Each one has a remedy, and none is a new door. We find which it is, replace or lubricate the part, and run the door until it is quiet.

Garage door spring replacement
The opener is the part people notice, but the door does the heavy lifting. We keep both healthy: motor and logic board on one side, springs, cables and balance on the other, so neither one is fighting the other.
Adjusting spring tension is fine work.
Think of this as the general practice side of the trade.
A garage door belongs to the architecture. Its movement belongs to your everyday life. We bring both into the conversation.

ServiceGarage Door Tune-Up
Adjusting spring tension is fine work. A quarter turn changes how the door rests at halfway, and the aim is a door that stays where it is left. We adjust, test by hand, and adjust again until it does.
Part 1The panels
The inside face of one section has started to bow outward and the outer skin has a soft, wavy look. Tap it and it sounds hollow in places.
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
Someone left the snow shovel leaning in the opening and the door came down on it. Now a loop of steel cable hangs loose beside the track and the door refuses to close the last few inches.
Part 4Tracks and rollers
The door shudders as it rises, worst where the track bends from vertical to horizontal. Watching from inside, you can see one section rock from side to side while the others sit still, and the whole door lands with a clunk.
Part 5The opener
Nothing. No light, no click, no hum from the unit on the ceiling.

Openers wear in predictable ways: gears strip, chains stretch, logic boards tire. We diagnose which it is and explain whether repair or replacement is the sensible route for your unit.
Door samples
The installation group is where style meets structure: how the door looks from the street, how well it insulates, how quietly it moves, and how it is built to handle the winters here.
Tap a situation. The answer opens here.
If The door starts to close, then reverses and the opener light blinks.
Then Photo-eye alignment.
The sensors near the floor are out of line or dirty; a clean and re-aim usually restores normal closing.
If The door touches the floor and pops back open.
Then Close-limit adjustment.
The opener thinks it hit something; setting the travel limit correctly stops the bounce.
If The door closes but leaves a gap along the bottom.
Then Bottom seal and limit setting.
A compressed seal or a short travel limit leaves daylight; both are simple to correct. Garage Door Bottom Seal Replacement

Step 1 of 5
Describe the property, the hardware and what has changed, and the visit starts from what you have seen.
Step 2 of 5
We ask about the door's age, the type of springs, the opener and what changed. A photo of the hardware helps us bring the right stock.
Step 3 of 5
As each part is checked, the technician tells you what it shows and what it means for the door as a whole.
Step 4 of 5
Old springs, cables and packaging leave with us, and the workspace is swept. A clean finish is part of every visit.
Step 5 of 5
Hear the choices, ask your questions, take the time you need. The work starts when you say so and not before.

The kindest thing for the door is to leave it where it is and use another entrance. An opener is designed to move a door the springs have already made light; asking it to lift a full-weight door strains the trolley and gear drive and can crease the top section. Keeping the door still and clear of people until the spring is replaced protects the rest of the system from extra repairs.
The shaft is free during a spring change, which makes it the natural time to renew the centre bearing and end bearings if they grind or wobble. Lift cables that show fraying or rust at the bottom brackets are replaced so the new spring pulls on sound steel, and cracked or worn drums are swapped. On older doors, a corroded centre bracket or loose lag bolts may also be addressed. Each item is shown and explained before it is added.
On a two-spring door, one intact spring keeps pulling on its side while the broken side goes slack, so the door lifts unevenly and a cable can jump its drum. The technician levels the door, reseats the cables in their drum grooves and evens the tension after the new spring is fitted. Rollers and track are checked for damage from the crooked travel so the door runs square again.
Low-headroom garages use a different arrangement: the spring assembly may be mounted at the rear of the horizontal tracks, or special low-headroom drums and track bring the door up with less clearance. Replacement follows the same principles, but the drums, cable routing and turn count differ. The technician identifies the system on arrival and brings hardware that suits it, so the door balances correctly in the space available.
