Spring Repairs

The most common issue with a garage door that will not move up and down properly is a problem with the garage door spring system. Garage Door Springs are instrumental to a working garage door as they generate most of the heavy lifting and controlling the balance of your garage door;  Whether torsion or extension springs.

Eventually, the garage door springs will break. When this happens, we urge you not to continue operating your garage door and replacing the springs yourself.. It can become hazardous to you and cause more damage to the rest of the garage door components.

No matter how the door is reacting, broken garage door springs can be extremely hazardous and require the assistance of professionals at Overhead Door of Southern California.

Garage Door Cable Repairs:

Cables on the garage door play a role similar to the sensors. They increase the safety of your garage door. Cables do this by keeping your garage door from not swinging wildly should the springs break. In other words, they keep the garage door balanced. As your springs begin to wear down over time, the cables are a beneficial instrument for your safety.

Garage door cables can and do break on occasion. One reason the cable might break is aged. Cables experience wear and tear just like any other working part. Over time, the cables can weaken, rust, and eventually snap. Rust can corrode the cable; unless you catch it in time, the rust will have eaten through it.

Fraying is another problem that causes garage door cables to snap. Garage door cables work the same way as a rope. Many little wires are wound together to make a stronger, thicker cable.  If one of these little cables breaks, it could fray the others around it until the whole thing eventually snaps.  No matter the cause, a broken cable is a big problem and warrants a call.

Garage Door Roller Repairs:

Does the garage door make strange noises as it opens and closes? If so, your garage door rollers may need replacing or lubricant.  The rollers help guide your garage door up and down along its track smoothly; just like a wheel bearing helps the wheel of a car turn smoothly, the garage door rollers do the same thing!

If the rollers on your doors have gotten filthy, warped, or cracked; from the constant wear and tear of using your door. Worn-out rollers can cause damage to your garage door track and create an instance of unnecessary force exerted by the springs. As this will hurt the rest of your garage door: That’s correct; a little roller can cost you a lot of money.

Weather Seal Replacement

The weather stripping of a garage can show signs of wear when exposed to heat and freezing temperatures. The vinyl rubber seal keeps the rain, snow, and cold weather out of the garage. When you notice damage to the weather strip, it is time to replace it.

Your garage door is the most used in your house and business. At Overhead Door of Kearney, we offer Annual Maintenance plans. There are benefits to regular garage door maintenance: increased garage door life, optimized garage door performance, minimized emergency repair costs, and many more.

Sagging Garage Doors:

As doors and homes age, they can shift and move, sometimes resulting in a garage door that needs to be realigned or reinforced. We will send a technician to your home to adjust the doors and inspect the entire opening to ensure the door isn’t damaged. Once we understand the problem, we will fix the needed parts and make any adjustments to the door.

Garage Door Panel Replacement:

Sectional garage doors are composed of different panels. One of the benefits of having a sectional garage door rather than a one-piece garage door is the replacement. Whether a bottom section or one in the middle is damaged, we can replace them promptly.

No matter what happens, you only have to replace the damaged section without replacing the whole door. However, there is a rule of thumb: if you have 2 or more damaged sections, the replacement cost for these 2 is almost the same as a completely new door.

New Garage Door Installation:

There is a large variety of garage doors available to you. Not to mention, there are a lot of different materials, from wood, steel, vinyl, and aluminum & glass. There is also a huge variety of styles, colors, windows, and hardware options. View our Residential Collection or Commercial Collection.

Garage Door Opener & Sensor Repair:

If your garage door opener is malfunctioning, we can repair it. Openers are essentially small electric motors that allow your garage door to move with the press of a button. This unrivaled convenience can bother you, especially if your car is trapped inside.

Safety sensors detect whenever there is an object in the pathway of the moving garage door. When they detect an object in the garage door’s path, it will immediately stop and open again. That is to stop a possible injury or damage to anything under the garage door’s path.

Wireless Key Pads:

Sometimes the battery-operated remotes need programming or repair. Our technicians can help you reset these or you can read instructions for keypad programming here on our website.

Additional Remotes:

If you need additional remotes, our service technicians are happy to help you program to match your current garage door opener.
