and a door that behaves.

Family garages in Burlington are busy places, with kids ducking under the door and a bike wheel always somewhere near the track. We set the auto-reverse so it trips on a light touch, aim the photo-eyes properly, and make sure the door closes fully every time so the house stays secure behind it.

2021 census: what it means at the door

Every square is one home in a hundred.

  • 47 in 100 homes · mixed ages
  • About 47% of homes in Burlington were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.A mixed-age neighbourhood is where retrofits are most common: safety cables added to extension springs, a torsion conversion on an older door, insulated panels replacing a hollow door, or a quieter belt opener under a newly finished room above the garage. Each is a routine job for us.
  • Single-detached houses make up about 50% of homes in Burlington (2021 Census).Where houses and attached homes sit together, the shared garage door on a small condo building may be a commercial operator on a heavy door, while the house next door runs a light residential unit. We service both types and carry parts for each.

The car nudged the door on the way in. There is a dent low on one end, and above it the hinge that carries the roller is bent so the panel edges rub together and squeal as the door lifts.

The call
You bought the house with a door that sticks near the top of its travel. The vertical track was screwed tight against the jamb, so the door drags along its stop moulding on every trip instead of swinging clear.

Anatomy of a garage door

Drawn forBurlington
ScaleNot to scale

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.

  1. Part 1The panels

    Garage Door Panel Replacement

    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.

  2. Part 2The springs

    Torsion Spring Replacement

    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.

  3. Part 3The cables

    Garage Door Cable Replacement

    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.

  4. Part 4Tracks and rollers

    Garage Door Roller Replacement

    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.

  5. Part 5The opener

The questions that come up

Do you replace the whole handle or just the cylinder?

Whichever the fault calls for. A worn or broken cylinder in a handle that is otherwise sound is swapped or rekeyed on its own. A handle that is cracked, corroded through or of a pattern with no parts available is replaced as a set with its spindle and inside turn handle. The technician shows you what has failed before either route is taken.

Can I keep using the door until the hinge is replaced?

It is better to leave the door closed and use another way in and out. A joint with a failed hinge flexes more on every trip, which strains the neighbouring hinges, can pull a roller out of the track and can crease the panel itself. If the door is already open or stuck partway, leave it where it is rather than running the opener again. A closed, still door is what the technician hopes to find.

My door came off its track last month. Is this the same service?

It is the follow-on. Putting a door back on its track deals with the rollers and gets the door running again; track repair deals with the reason it left. If the reset showed a spread channel, a bent section or loose brackets, those are corrected now so the rollers stay put. Where nothing on the track was at fault and the cause was a cable or an obstruction, the track is simply checked and confirmed.

What about a garage with very little space above the door?

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.
