Garage door services and repairs
Springs counterbalance the weight of the door. When one breaks or stretches, the door may feel unexpectedly heavy and other parts can take on extra strain.
Cables and drums help the door rise evenly. Fraying, slack, or a cable that has left the drum can leave the door crooked, unstable, or unable to move.
Tracks guide each opening and closing cycle. A bent, shifted, or damaged track can cause binding, scraping, or a door that no longer sits square.
Rollers and hinges keep each section moving through the track. Wear can create vibration, popping sounds, rough travel, or metal-on-metal noise.
A dented, cracked, or warped section can affect appearance, sealing, and movement. An inspection can show whether the damage is isolated or reaches the larger door structure.
Photo-eye sensors help detect an obstruction near the floor. Misalignment, damaged wiring, or a failed sensor can make the door reverse or refuse to close.
Power, controls, travel settings, the drive system, and the motor can all affect opener operation. A diagnostic separates a door problem from an opener problem.

Maintenance and efficiency
Bottom seals and perimeter weatherstripping close gaps around the door. Replacing worn material can help with daylight, drafts, water, debris, and pest entry.
A properly balanced door reduces strain on the opener and moving hardware. Testing and calibration can correct drifting, heavy lifting, or uneven travel.
A tune-up checks the moving, lifting, control, and safety systems together so developing wear can be handled before it becomes a larger interruption.
Insulation and sealing work together to reduce drafts, outside noise, and temperature swings. An assessment can identify the upgrade path that fits the existing door.

Repair vs. replacement
A focused repair often makes sense when damage is isolated. Replacement is worth comparing when several systems, multiple sections, or the door structure are affected.

Customer experiences
From Speed Avenue to Edgewood Place, Bonnycastle's houses were built out early, and very little around them is new. Many are Victorian or revival homes that have stood for generations. A garage door on a property this old may have been repaired several times, with springs, rollers and hinges from different makers. Those mixed parts are often where a new problem starts.
A spring sized for an earlier door may not suit the one hanging now. We check the balance by hand before looking at the opener. Cables, rollers and hinges get a close look on the same visit. We replace what has failed and leave sound parts in place. If a mismatched part is behind the trouble, we explain why. A door that binds in its track is freed before anything else is set. Before we leave, the door should lift evenly and close square to the floor.

Useful answers
No. A heavy door usually means a spring or cable has failed, and the opener should not carry that weight. Leave the door stopped and do not pull the emergency release, since it may drop. We inspect the lifting system at your Bonnycastle home before anything moves.

By the door, not by how the old spring looks. The right spring depends on the door weight, height and how it is lifted. On your Bonnycastle door we size springs to the whole system, then balance it so it lifts evenly and stays put partway up.
No. We inspect the failed part and the parts connected to it, replace what has failed and leave sound parts in place. On a Bonnycastle door that binds in its track, the binding is freed first, so the door closes square to the floor before we leave.
