Garage Doors in TorontoOriginal door.
Still worth keeping.

Plenty of houses in Toronto still open the wood or early steel door they were built with, often on extension springs. Those doors deserve a technician who knows them: how to true a sagging section, add safety cables, replace worn pulleys, and bring the hardware up to date without losing the look of the house.

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.Older garages tend to have lower headroom and narrower single openings, so replacement doors and openers are chosen to fit the space rather than the other way round. Measuring the header, side room and ceiling depth is the first step on every one of these visits.
  • Single-detached houses make up about 23% of homes in Toronto (2021 Census).In attached housing, a resident's remote or fob may open both their own door and a shared gate, and lost devices are a real security concern. We clear old codes from the operator, program replacements, and explain to management how to keep the access list current.

The call
Years of slap shots have peppered the lower two sections with dents. Each one alone is small, but from the street the door looks tired, and the deepest dent near the centre has cracked the paint and shows bare steel.

After a spring rain there is a puddle inside the door that reaches the tires. The driveway slopes toward the garage, the slab has a low corner, and the flattened old seal is not making up the difference.

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?

How long does it take to get a replacement section?

Sections are made to order for a specific model, size, position and colour rather than kept in stock, so there is a lead time from the manufacturer. It varies with the maker, the colour and the season, and the technician confirms the expected timing when the order is placed. In the meantime the door is left in a safe state, either in normal use or braced and closed, depending on the damage.

What does a new bottom seal do about water coming in?

It closes the gap between the door and the slab so rain and meltwater meet a continuous barrier. Where the driveway slopes toward the garage, or the slab edge has dipped, the seal alone is working against gravity, and a threshold seal glued to the floor adds a lip that turns water back toward the drive. The technician looks at where the water comes from and recommends the combination that suits your threshold.

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.

What happens if the header wood or centre bracket is damaged?

The centre bracket anchors the spring's reaction force to the framing above the door, so it has to be solid. If the header has split or softened, or the lag bolts have pulled, the technician can refasten into sound wood, add a reinforcing plate or replace the bracket before the new spring is wound. Dealing with this first keeps the shaft level and the spring pulling straight, which protects the bearings and the door.
