Garage Doors in Bloordale GardensHeavy door.
Steady hands.

A residential garage door can weigh as much as two grown adults, and the springs above it are wound to carry exactly that load. Our technicians in Bloordale Gardens work with winding bars, clamps and stands, secure the door before touching tension, and run it through full cycles before they call the job finished.

2021 census: what it means at the door

Every square is one home in a hundred.

  • 58 in 100 homes · older homes
  • About 58% of homes in Toronto were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.Original openers in older neighbourhoods often predate photo-eye sensors and rolling-code remotes. Bringing one up to date means a quieter motor, sensors that stop the door for a child or pet, and remotes that cannot be copied from the driveway, all installed in a single visit.
  • Single-detached houses make up about 23% of homes in Toronto (2021 Census).Condo and townhouse garages are frequently used for storage as much as parking, with the door opened many times a day, and the shared walls mean vibration travels. A well-balanced door, tight hardware and a quiet opener are the upgrades residents notice most.

The call
The door came down fine but with a scraping noise, and now the vertical track on one side is bowed away from the wall. Two screws have pulled out of the wood and the roller nearest the floor has no rail around it.

The new door went in last year and looks perfect, but the old wooden stop and its tired seal were left in place. Along the top there is a gap you could slide a finger into, and the cold pours through it.

Anatomy of a garage door

Cold snaps take a toll on springs already near the end of their life. A coil that was hanging on through the summer often lets go on the first hard frost. These services replace it and its partner properly.

  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

    After pulling the red release cord, you tried lifting the door yourself and it would barely leave the floor. A door that used to glide up with one hand now takes real effort, which points to the counterbalance rather than the opener.

  3. Part 3The cables

    Garage Door Cable Replacement

    There was a sharp crack from the garage, and when you went to look the door had dropped on one side and jammed. A length of cable lies coiled on the floor by the bottom roller.

  4. Part 4Tracks and rollers

    Garage Door Roller Replacement

    The door is the one the builder installed and has never had a part changed. It works, but it clatters, the wheels are hard white plastic with no bearings in them, and the opener sounds like it is labouring more each season.

  5. Part 5The opener

    Garage Door Opener Diagnosis and Repair

    For a few days there was a grinding sound whenever the door started moving. Now the motor spins freely and the door stays exactly where it is.

Have a question?

Why does the door need a balance test after being reset?

Balance shows that the springs are carrying the door's weight so the opener only guides it. After a reset the door is disconnected from the opener, raised by hand to the halfway point and released; a balanced door holds there with little drift. If it falls or shoots up, the counterbalance needs adjusting before the opener is reconnected, otherwise the motor strains and the rollers are pushed out of line again.

Should I choose a fin on the wood stop or a one-piece vinyl stop?

If the wood stop is sound, straight and not buried in paint, a new fin nailed to its face is the simpler choice and keeps the look of the trim. If the stop is cracked, soft or has been painted many times, a one-piece vinyl stop replaces it entirely, needs no paint and cannot rot. The technician checks the stop and recommends one or the other on site.

My key will not turn in the cold. What is happening?

Meltwater has run down the door face into the keyway during a thaw and frozen overnight, or cold has stiffened old lubricant inside the cylinder. Lock de-icer or gentle warmth frees it; hot water is avoided because it refreezes and can crack cold metal. Afterwards the cylinder is dried and given a dry graphite or PTFE lubricant that sheds moisture instead of trapping it.

Do the rollers get replaced with the hinges?

They are checked every time and replaced when they need it. The roller stem sits in a tube on the edge hinge, so when that hinge comes off the roller is already in hand, and fitting a new one adds a minute. A wheel that is cracked, flat-spotted or grinding on its bearing is the sort of thing that strained the hinge, so leaving it would ask the new hinge to carry the same load.
