Misalignment of the track
One of the major components of the system, is the track. If your garage door is moving partially, you hear a rubbing noise or it slows at a specific spot – it may indicate a minor alignment issue. In some cases, you may be able to address the issue yourself, but when your door is not moving at all, it could mean something more significant. That is when you should call in backup. The seasoned professionals at New Braunfels can come to safely repair and realign the track, or replace the system as needed.
Broken springs or cables
If you recently thought firecrackers were going off in your garage – think again. A loud noise or bang could actually indicate that you have a very serious problem with the cables or springs to your garage door. When this happens, it means that your heavy door won’t rise up anymore, or slams really fast into the ground.
If it isn’t rising (or isn’t rising normally), it could indicate an issue with your torsion springs. This is typical after a few years, as the constant use can cause stress and strain over time. Often, this could need just a replacement spring.
If it is slamming shut, that could indicate an issue with your tension springs. This is quite serious, and a seasoned professional should be called immediately to come and repair it. Once a tension spring has broken, it will impact the door cables. If those also break, these cables can snap and fly out causing damage to the surroundings or people nearby. In this condition, we recommend parking outside the garage and not using it until it is fully repaired to reduce the potential safety risk to you and your loved ones.
