•Broken Springs -; The most common Garage Door Repair in Orland Park involves garage doors springs. Two types of springs are used, extension or torsion springs. It is recommended that if your door has two springs to replace both even if only one has broken. The thought being that spring’s average lifecycle is 10,000 opening and closings and that the other will probably fail soon after, so save the cost of a return service call and replace both at the same time.
•Worn Pulleys -; Due to the sideway force exerted on pulleys they experience the most wear requiring the need for replacement. As with springs, pulleys should be replaced in pairs.
•Door panels -; If you are fortunate only one door panel or section has sustained damage. Minor dents or holes in panels can be repaired rather than replacing the entire panel. A damaged door may not allow for proper operation, therefore, must be addressed immediately. Also, depending on the age of the garage door, it might be impossible to replace an individual panel, necessitating replacing the entire door.

Due to the inherent danger of working with parts under extreme tension, like the springs, consulting a professional is recommended.
