Facts & Questions

Got questions about garage door repair in Bloomfield? You're not alone. Here are the answers to some of the most common head-scratchers we get.

Why does my garage door make a loud noise when it opens or closes?

A noisy garage door can be due to several reasons, like loose hardware, worn rollers, or lack of lubrication. Tightening screws and bolts can help, but if the problem persists, consider replacing the rollers or applying silicone-based lubricant for smoother operation.

Sometimes, it's more serious; your opener might need adjustment or replacement. This is where you might want professional eyes on the issue. Remember that fixing it early can save you from bigger headaches down the road.

Can I replace a broken spring myself?

Tinkering with busted springs on your own is something we highly discourage. These components are under high tension and require special tools and knowledge to handle safely. A mishap could lead to injury or further damage to your garage door system.

Dive into this manual for step-by-step directions on what to do next. Still stuck? It might be time for a new remote — or there could be an interference issue affecting signal strength.
