Hudson Valley Overhead Doors and Operators have come up with a few tips because your safety is our main concern:
Replace and adjust those Springs people:
Years of daily usage will put a lot of wear on your springs making their tension lesser as the days go by. When your springs are not strong enough to create the needed torsion, your door will open slowly. In addition to this while your door is in the open position your springs are likely to release the torsion in your counterbalance system which in turn will allow for your door to fall.
Replace worn out cables:
Just like anything worn down and broken, a worn out cable should be replaced. Just like the springs your cables are an important part of your counterbalance system ensuring your door stays where you intend it to. Remember the changing of springs and cables can be dangerous these changes should be left to an expert technician, for those changes contact your local garage door maintenance company.
