Fixed without a new door
Faults that are repaired on the door you have
These parts wear out or break, and each is dealt with on its own. None of them is a reason to replace the door.
Drums
A cracked cable drum at the end of the spring bar is replaced.
Safety sensors
Sensors that stop the door from closing are realigned or replaced.
Weather seals
Torn or flattened seals at the bottom, sides and top are renewed.
A single damaged section
One dented or cracked section is straightened, reinforced or swapped for a matching section, and the rest of the door stays.
When a new door comes up
What leads to a new garage door in Bonifay
The door itself, meaning its sections, is what decides between repair and replacement. A new door is quoted when:
No matching section exists
If a replacement section is no longer made for that door, the damaged section cannot be swapped.
The sections are rusted or rotted through
Metal sections rusted through at the bottom, or wood sections that have rotted, will not hold hinges and brackets.
You want a different door
A door you want to change for its look, whatever shape it is in, is a replacement.
Looks worse than it is
Faults that seem like the end of the door
Some problems look serious from the driveway but leave the sections untouched.
A door off its track
The rollers are put back in the track, and a bent track section is straightened or replaced.
A door hanging crooked
A cable has slipped or snapped on the low side. It is replaced and the door is leveled.
A door that bangs and shakes
Worn rollers, loose hinges or loose track bolts make a sound door noisy. The worn parts are replaced.
Is it the door or the opener?
A door that will not open can look like a door at the end of its life when the fault is in the opener. If the opener hums, clicks or does nothing while the door itself is balanced and moves smoothly, the opener is repaired or replaced and the door stays. If the door is heavy, rough or drops when stopped halfway, it has a spring, cable, roller or track fault.
How a new door is quoted
We measure the opening and quote a new door made to fit it.
A new door arrives with its own track, springs, cables, rollers and hinges, so every moving part of the old door is replaced along with the sections. That is worth weighing when the old door needs several of those parts as well as a section.
What a new door brings with it
A new door comes with its own bottom seal, and the side and top seals on the frame are renewed if the old ones are worn, so the closed door meets the floor and frame on all four edges. The safety sensors are lined up to the new tracks, and the opener, new or existing, is set to the travel and weight of the new door.
Broken springs
A broken spring is a repair, not a new door
A spring break is loud and sudden, and the door goes from easy to impossible to lift.
How to spot it
On a door with a bar across the top, look for a gap in the coil. On a door with springs along the side tracks, look for one hanging loose.
What it is matched to
A new spring is sized to the weight and height of the door and the wire and length the door needs, so it lifts the door without strain.
Until it is replaced
Keep the door shut and the opener off. The opener cannot lift the door on its own and can damage its gear trying.
Commercial doors
Commercial and roll-up doors in Bonifay
A shop, office or other business building with a roll-up door or a large sectional door is covered by the same line between repair and replacement.
Roll-up doors
Springs in the barrel are replaced, and a door that binds in its side guides is repaired. A door with too many bent slats is replaced.
Large sectional doors
Springs, cables, rollers and hinges sized for the heavier door are replaced.
