Question 6

What's the difference between torsion and extension springs?

Accepted Answer

Torsion springs are mounted above the door and use torque to lift — they're smoother, safer, and last longer (15,000-20,000 cycles vs. 10,000). Extension springs run along the side tracks and cost less initially but wear faster. We generally recommend torsion springs for new installations and conversions. If you notice [signs your springs need attention](/blog/signs-garage-door-needs-repair), call us for a professional inspection. Our [repair team](/services/repair) handles all spring replacements safely.

Accepted Answer

Yes, in most cases we can install a new garage door opener on your existing door. We'll assess your door's condition, weight, and balance to ensure the new opener is properly sized. We recommend upgrading to a belt-drive opener with smartphone connectivity for quiet operation and convenient remote access.

Question 8

Why does my garage door reverse when trying to close?

Accepted Answer

A reversing door is usually responding to its built-in safety systems. Common causes include misaligned photo-eye sensors, incorrect force settings, obstructions, track damage, or worn rollers. Start by cleaning the photo-eye lenses and checking alignment. If the problem persists, [call us at 1-360-284-2874](tel:13602842874) for professional diagnosis.
