High-Cycle Springs for Busy Households
A cycle is one full opening and closing. A family that uses the garage four or five times a day reaches 10,000 cycles in about six or seven years, which is when a standard spring usually breaks. High-cycle springs last much longer.
Standard springs (10,000 cycles) last about 7 years and are best for rentals and doors used lightly. High-cycle springs (25,000 cycles) last about 17 years and suit primary homes used every day. Extra high-cycle springs (50,000 cycles) last 30 years or more and are ideal for long-term homes and busy families.
All springs we install carry a 3-year warranty. Ask us which option suits your door.
Check Your Door's Balance
Never try to adjust or remove springs yourself.
- Make sure children, pets and cars are clear of the door.
- Close the door and pull the red emergency release cord.
- Lift the door by hand to about 1 metre (3 to 4 feet) and let go.
- It stays put: the door is balanced.
- It drifts up or down slowly: the springs need adjusting.
- It slams down or shoots up: stop using the door and call us.
Choosing an Opener
Chain drive openers are moderate to loud, need yearly lubrication, and suit detached garages and tighter budgets. Belt drive openers are very quiet with minimal maintenance and are best for attached garages and bedrooms above the garage. Wall-mount (jackshaft) openers are nearly silent with minimal maintenance and suit high or cathedral ceilings and premium installs. Smart / Wi-Fi openers depend on the drive type and are ideal for remote monitoring, alerts and deliveries.
Surrey Weather and Your Garage Door
Surrey gets hot, dry summers, wet winters and the odd snowfall and cold snap. Metal parts expand and contract, lubricants thicken in the cold, and rubber seals stiffen and crack.
- Spring: clean and lubricate after winter, check the weatherstripping, test auto-reverse and clear the bottom of the door.
- Summer: lubricate rollers and hinges, check the photo-eyes aren't blinded by low sun, and look for warped panels.
- Fall: replace worn bottom seals, clear leaves from the tracks and book a tune-up before the rain.
- Winter: use a cold-rated lubricant, keep seals flexible with silicone and clear ice from the threshold.
Top 5 Garage Door Problems in Surrey
- Won't open in cold weather: metal contraction, stiff seals and thick lubricant. Fix: cold-rated lubricant, opener force adjustment and new seals.
- Grinding or squeaking: dry rollers, worn bearings or loose hardware. Fix: lubrication and adjustment, or new rollers.
- Opens and then closes again: usually misaligned or dirty photo-eyes. A quick, inexpensive fix.
- Uneven or crooked movement: unbalanced springs or a cable problem. Never a DIY job.
- Remote works only sometimes: weak batteries, range, or interference from devices such as some LED bulbs. Fix: reprogramming, moving the antenna or upgrading to a smart opener.
