What safety features should I look for in a new garage door installation?

Every new installation must have a functioning auto reverse mechanism and infrared safety sensors to halt the door if an object is detected. Additionally, doors should include pinch resistant panels to prevent injuries. In The Colony, specialist installers will ensure the door is properly weighted to avoid a crash in case of spring failure.

Is it safe to install an overhead door as a DIY project?

Garage door installation is best left to workers due to the high tension in the springs which pose injury risks if mishandled. Proper alignment of tracks and weight balancing requires specialized tools and expertise to verify the opener functions correctly.

How do I know if my gate is properly balanced?

To check a door's balance, pull the emergency release cord and lift it halfway it should remain in place. If the door falls or rises unexpectedly a competent adjustment is necessary as this indicates incorrect spring tension. An unbalanced door can strain the opener, potentially causing motor burnout if not resolved quickly.

What should I do if my sectional door comes off its tracks?

If your sectional door is off its tracks or misaligned cease using the opener and avoid forcing it. This can lead to damage. Contact us to secure the door, realign the rollers and check for issues such as a broken cable or a loose bracket.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful answers about garage door installation, safety, balance, and repairs.

Every new installation should include a working auto-reverse system and infrared safety sensors. Pinch-resistant panels are also recommended to help reduce injury risks.

Garage door installation is best handled by professionals because springs are under high tension and can be dangerous. Proper track alignment and door balancing require specialized tools.

Pull the emergency release cord and lift the door halfway. If it stays in place, it is balanced. If it falls or rises, the spring tension needs professional adjustment.

Stop using the opener and do not force the door. A technician should secure the door, realign the rollers, and inspect for broken cables, loose brackets, or track damage.
