Great garage door service that sells the latest Chamberlain products

If you don't know how to maintain and clean your garage door, you will find the answers to common questions below helpful

How many springs do I need to install?

The number and type of garage door springs will be determined by the weight and height of the garage door. Average size standard residential garage systems will usually need extension springs – one in each side. Though, for heavier systems the experts of our company in Itasca would recommend torsion springs and often multiple ones.

What is the importance of safety cables?

Safety cables should be installed on all extension springs, which can be found just above the garage door tracks. These cables help contain the spring in case it breaks suddenly. Contact our pros at garage door repair Itasca if you notice that the cables are fraying.

Can I change certain panels of my garage door when they are damaged?

If only one panel is damaged, then there is a good chance that you could replace that single panel. However, there are garage door panels that need to be replaced together instead of just one. It depends on the kind of garage door you have as well.

At what speed do garage doors move?

It depends on the door type, brand, and opener model. Most openers allow the door to move at 7-12 inches/second. There are three different speed options with sectional doors, which can be adjusted according to your needs. One-piece doors are set to move at the lowest speed.
