Which Special Is Right for Your Door?
If you are not sure which of these your door actually needs, the symptoms below are the usual giveaways. When in doubt, call and describe what the door is doing — we will tell you straight, including when the answer is that nothing needs doing yet.
The door is heavy, jerky, or will not stay put
That is almost always the springs. Springs are rated in cycles, not years, and in a busy household a set can reach the end of its life in seven or eight years. They are replaced in pairs — a single new spring paired with a tired one just breaks again sooner.
The door has become loud
Grinding, rattling, and popping usually point at worn rollers. Nylon rollers on sealed bearings run dramatically quieter than the steel ones fitted to most builder-grade doors, which matters a great deal if there is a bedroom above the garage.
Dust, water, or lizards are getting in
A perished bottom seal is the culprit. Phoenix sun hardens rubber until it stops conforming to the slab, and once the seal has gone rigid it lets in monsoon runoff, dust, and anything small enough to walk under the door.
Nothing is obviously wrong
Then the lube and tune is the one worth booking. It is the cheapest visit we offer and the one that most reliably prevents the expensive ones, because a door caught while it is merely out of adjustment does not become a door with a snapped cable.
