Recent operator replacement

Customers issue, old Genie operator couldn’t burden the weight of this door anymore. Upon arrival we noticed the operator was beyond repair and too noisy. Check out the new LiftMaster 6580L 1 HP DC LED Battery Backup Belt Drive with built in camera!

After inspecting the door we found the torsion springs needed additional tension to balance the door operation. Does your door stay open by itself in manual mode? It should…

Why Garage Door Springs Matter

Garage door springs do all the heavy lifting. While your opener moves the door, the springs are what actually counterbalance the weight. A properly balanced door should lift smoothly and stay in place when opened halfway.

Over time, springs wear out. Most standard torsion springs are rated for around 10,000 cycles (one open and one close equals one cycle). When a spring breaks, your garage door can become extremely heavy, refuse to open, or put unnecessary strain on your opener.

A few signs your springs may be nearing the end of their life:

* Door feels heavy when operated manually.
* Opener struggles or reverses.
* Door opens unevenly.
* Loud bang from the garage (often a broken spring).

Routine inspections can catch worn springs before they fail and leave you stuck.

Service Call Explained

A customer reached out because their garage door would not open. Upon arrival, we discovered a broken torsion spring. We explained the life cycle of garage door springs, why they fail over time, and the proper replacement process.

During our inspection, we also found an improperly installed operator attachment. The original installer used a piece of angle iron instead of a proper garage door reinforcement bracket.

Why is this important?

A reinforcement bracket helps distribute the force from the garage door opener across the top section of the door. Without proper reinforcement, the top panel can bend, crack, or fail over time, leading to costly repairs or even premature door replacement.

At LJM Garage Door Service, every service call includes a complete inspection so we can identify potential issues before they become bigger problems.

Quality repairs done correctly — no shortcuts.
