There are many potential problems that can occur, and prevent roll-up door in Kent from working properly. We will go over some of the most common issues, and try to shed some light on the problems, the causes, and how to deal with a problematic roll-up door.

Roll-up door spring repair Kent

The spring system of roll-up door in Kent is the main force that lift, lower and balance the roll-up door. Whether it is a torsion spring system, or extension spring system, if roll-up door spring snapped, it prevent the door from working properly and can be dangerous. Before we will explain about the broken spring repair, we would like to repeat what we said earlier, that an roll-up door with a broken spring, and it can be roll-up door in Kent Washington, or even a commercial roll-up door repairs should not be used, and that it should be repaired by a trained roll-up door technician who has the tools and who is qualified to deal with roll-up doors in Kent Washington.
If you own a roll-up door in Kent, but you are not sure what type of spring system your roll-up door use to move, look at the springs and check. If the springs are located on the top side of the door, when each spring is above each track, then your roll-up door in Kent is working with extension spring system. If the springs are located in the center area, and you see coil spring wrapped around a steel pipe (Shaft), then your door is working with torsion spring system. Good At Fixing Garage Doors can repair or replace all types of roll-up doors springs in Kent, and can replace the rolling gate spring for you even today.

Torsion Overhead spring repair Kent

Usually the heavier and more massive roll-up doors in Kent are those who work with torsion spring system. If your torsion spring snapped, it will be difficult, and dangerous to try and open the door.

If you will try and force roll-up door to open or to close, or try and use the roll-up door opener to that, the opener may burn and stop working, since it will need to lift the door without the help of the broken torsion spring, and that can be both dangerous, and can lead to a burn out of the opening unit. We have seen roll-up doors openers in Kent burned, due to misuse of the roll-up door.

Roll-up door opener repairs

If you own an automated roll-up door in or near Kent, which is operated by an electric unit, and you are experiencing problems operating the door, you better read the following words. If roll-up door opener in Kent is having hard time lifting and closing the door, it does not necessarily mean that the problem is with the electric opener. To understand that, you need to understand first how the roll-up doors in WA operate, and to learn a thing or two about the mechanism of the overhead roll-up doors in King County.
To you, assuming you are not a trained roll-up door technician, and that you never needed to fix rollup doors in Kent, it may seem like the electric opener is what opening and closing your over the head door in Kent, but the truth is that every over the head roll-up door which isn’t working properly manually – Without the electric opener - should not be operated to open or close the roll-up door with the opener. The overhead opener of garages in Kent Washington is only in charge of small amount of the force that lift and lower the door, and the garage spring system, which should be adjusted to fit your door, is what doing most of the lifting and the balancing. So if there is a problem opening and closing a roll-up door in Kent when it is being operated manually, there will be a problem for the motor to open and close the door. Even if the electric opener can still open and close the door, do not use the door remotely, and contact roll-up door technician in Kent to fix the problem first, and to make sure that now that the door was repaired, it is safe to use the door again.

Types of roll-up door openers in Kent

The most common types of openers, when it comes to roll-up doors in Kent Washington, is the chain drive opener, and the belt drive opener. There is another type of roll-up door opener which is a screw driver opener, but during the past years we see less and less from that type of garage openers installed. The new openers can also come with an option to work and be synched to a smartphone, like the new Liftmaster MYQ garage openers.
The chain drive garage opener and the belt drive garage opener are considered to be strong and reliable and are very popular in garages around Kent, when the difference between them is that the chain is working with a steel chain, and the belt operate with a rubber belt, which make it much quitter. If it is important for you to have a door in Kent that work quietly, you may want to consider purchasing a belt drive opener (If the roll-up door is bellow your bedroom or living room, or any reason that you want it to operate in silence). If the noise level does not bother to you, or if you prefer to hear when someone open or close your roll-up door in Kent, (Some people do prefer and want to know every time their overhead rollup door in Kent is being used). Then you should go with the chain drive which is 10-20 percent cheaper than the belt drive garage opener.

Roll-up door safety sensors

Every roll-up door, whether it is roll-up door in Kent, roll-up door in Kent WA, orroll-up gate, must include a safety feature. The federal law require from every opener manufacture, to include a safety feature that should be installed together with the roll-up door electric opener, and from the roll-up door technician to install the safety sensors the way it is required by law. The electronic eye system, is there to “tell” the opener to stop and to reverse if something is blocking the way. If anything block the laser beam between the safety sensors, the garage opener will reverse the door to open position and by doing that protecting that thing from being hit by the door. We know of many cases when safety sensors in Kent saved home owners in Kent from damage, or even from injuries.
Since they are located at the bottom of each side of roll-up doors in Kent, the safety sensors can be the cause for many roll-up door issues, especially when they were installed by roll-up door technician who isn’t trained enough. The reason for the issues is that the garage opener will not close your roll-up door in Kent, unless it is getting the signal that “tell” everything is ok, and it safe to close the door.
