Weather seals
Gaps, drafts and water under a Panama City Beach garage door
Light around the door with the garage lights off, or water, leaves and insects on the floor just inside it, means a seal has worn.
Bottom seal
A rubber or vinyl strip along the bottom edge of the door that presses against the slab when the door is shut. It is replaced once it has torn, split, gone hard or flattened so it no longer fills the gap.
Side and top seals
Strips fastened along the two sides and across the top of the opening, which the door closes against. They are replaced when they have cracked, pulled away from the frame or stopped touching the door.
Leaks at the bottom corners
The ends of the bottom seal and the side seals no longer meet. The worn strips are replaced so they overlap again.
A gap on one side only
If the bottom seal meets the floor at one end and not the other, a new seal may not close it. The door may be hanging low on one side, which is a cable or spring repair, or the slab itself may not be level.
The channel on the door edge
On a door that holds its bottom seal in a metal channel, a bent or corroded channel lets the seal fall out. The channel can be replaced along with the seal.
Water from the driveway
Water that flows across the slab toward the opening from outside is a drainage matter, not a door seal. That is outside our garage door work.
Openers
An opener that hums or clicks while the door stays put
A hum with no movement
The motor is running but not moving the door. The drive gear inside the opener may be stripped, the trolley on the rail may have come loose from the door, or the door may be too heavy because a spring has broken.
A click and nothing else
A single click with no motor sound points to the opener itself rather than to the door.
It starts, then stops and reverses
That can be the safety sensors or a door binding in its track rather than the opener.
Repair or a new opener
A stripped gear or a failed board is replaced inside the opener you have. A burned-out motor, a bent rail or a board with no replacement part means a new opener.
When you call
Details that help with an opener repair
The opener light
Whether the light on the opener still comes on.
Both controls
Whether the wall button and the remote give the same result.
A bang
Whether anyone heard a bang from the garage before the opener stopped.
Its age
The age of the opener, if you know it.
Garage doors at rental and resort properties
Panama City Beach has a mix of resort and rental property. Name the person who will open the garage and how to reach them, and say whether the house will be empty or occupied on the day. If a manager looks after the house, tell us whether the quote goes to the manager or to the owner.
The rest of the door
Springs, cables, track and the rest of the door
Springs
A broken spring is replaced, whether it sits above the door on a shaft or runs along the tracks.
Cables
Frayed or snapped lift cables are replaced, and a door that dropped on one side is set level again.
Rollers, hinges and track
Worn rollers, cracked hinges and bent track are replaced, and a door that has come off its track is put back on.
Safety sensors
Sensors that have been knocked out of line are realigned, and failed ones are replaced.
Dented sections
A section with a dent or crack is replaced when a matching section is still made for that door.
Controls
When the remote or the wall button stops working
Only the remote fails
The remote, its pairing with the opener, or the receiver inside the opener is at fault. The door and motor are fine.
Only the wall button fails
The button or the thin wire running from it to the opener has failed.
Both fail and the light is dark
The opener has lost power or its board has failed.
New doors
A new door for a Panama City Beach house
Measured to the opening
The width and height of the opening, the headroom above it, the wall on each side and the depth back into the garage set the size of the new door.
The opener
A new opener can go in with the door, or the one you have can stay if it works and suits the new door.
Seals on the opening
Worn side and top strips on the frame can be replaced on the same job, so the new door closes against sound seals.
