We specialize in garage door broken spring repair service. Broken Springs are the most common problems that exist on garage doors today. Garage Doors are very dangerous if not handled correctly. They are the largest moving object on your house. Because of the size and weight of the garage door, it requires a spring system, to ultimately pick the door up and down in a balanced manner. Most garage door manufacturers use a 10,000 cycle life spring system when the door is made. The average home owner operates their garage door approximately 4 times a day (4-Cycles). This calculates into about 7 to 10 years for the spring system to fatigue and eventually break the spring system. Once the spring breaks, the garage door is now dead weight which can cause extreme personal injury or damage to the rest of the door if you continue to operate the door with a broken spring. Garage door openers are not designed to pick up garage doors without springs (Using a garage door opener with broken springs can cause extreme damage to your opener and door.)

Safety ChecklistSimple steps to a better garage door

Safety ChecklistSimple steps to a better garage door
By Duffy Dietz
According to recent statistics, auto accidents happen within five miles of home. Yet, what is often overlooked is the place where you park your car. Worn, malfunctioning or improperly installed garage doors and openers have killed many children. A simple inspection can guarantee a quieter, longerlasting overhead door and keep your customers safe.
Contact Reversal Test
Many injuries, especially to children, occur when a closing door failed to stop and reverse direction upon contact. This is usually because the down force settings are too high. The down force setting is a knob on the back of the opener that typically has an adjustment range of one through nine. It should be noted that not all devices that open and close the garage door are necessarily safe. Some old openers are equipped with a mechanism that only stops the door from closing when it strikes an object, not reversing the door in the process.
When checking for proper down force, a simple test for contact reversal should be completed. Begin with the door fully open and attached to the opener. Under the center of the door, place a 1 1/2-inch thick piece of wood, such as a 2-by-4, flat on the floor. Electric openers should reverse the door upon hitting the wood with minimum pressure.
If the door does not reverse, decrease the down force by turning the control counterclockwise. Make adjustments in small increments until the door reverses normally. After each adjustment, run the opener through a complete cycle. If the door reverses during the closing, increase the down force by turning the control clockwise.
Make small adjustments until the door completes a close cycle. After each adjustment, run the opener through a complete travel cycle. Do not increase the force beyond the minimum amount required to close the door.
Checking Open Force
Just as there is a force to go down, there is a force to raise the door. Grasp the door bottom when the door is about halfway through open travel. The door should stop. If the door is hard to hold or doesn’t stop, decrease the open force by turning the control counterclockwise.
Make small adjustments until the door stops easily and opens completely. After each adjustment, run the opener through a complete travel cycle. Do not increase the force beyond the minimum amount required to close the door.
If the door does not open at least 5 feet, increase the open force by turning the control clockwise. Make small adjustments until the door opens completely.
After each adjustment, run the opener through a complete travel cycle. Do not increase the force beyond the minimum amount required to close the door.
Prior to 1982, openers had devices intended to reverse the closing door when it strikes an object, but for reasons related to age, installation and maintenance, these products may not be safe enough to prevent child entrapment.
Photoelectric Eyes
Here are two simple tests to determine if the electronic eyes are installed and functioning properly. The noncontact reversal test begins with the door fully open. Standing just outside the path of the door and using the transmitter, push the button to close the door. Wave an object across the path of the photoelectric eye beam as the door is closing. The door MUST reverse and return to the fully open position to pass this test.
Checking for proper location of the photoelectronic eyes is perhaps the simplest test. If present, the device must be mounted at a maximum of 6 inches above the floor to detect an obstruction in the path of the door. Using a tape measure, confirm the device is no higher than 6 inches above the floor or make adjustments if needed. To ensure safety, the wallmounted control should be positioned at a minimum height of 5 feet.
A properly maintained garage will not only provide your customers with years of service, but will also ensure their safety.

Child dies under garage door.....

Another Child Dies Under Garage Door: Are We Doing Enough to Educate?07/21/2008 14:24
Last week, Terry Lee Barnett was killed when his family’s garage door fell and pinned him by the neck at his Indianapolis home, several papers reported July 18.In May, I blogged about theOntario boy that was killed in a similar fashion – albeit under very different circumstances. In the Canadian case, a construction company was on-site and working on the garage when the incident occurred. Disturbingly, the circumstances in Indianapolis were as follows (according to the local news story):
Police said the teen was fatally injured about 11 a.m. when a two-by-four dislodged from the garage door it had been propping open at his home... Terry was pinned beneath the door of the detached garage, which is behind the family's home.
Kitty Barnett [the victim's mother] said the electric motor that raises and lowers the door went out Wednesday night. She said the landlord had recently fixed the door, and she does not believe the accident was the result of negligence on the part of the home's owner.
The broken garage door did not appear to violate any city or county regulations, according to spokesmen for the Department of Metropolitan Development and the Department of Health.
There seems to be information missing from this story...or at least, I hope so. I hope propping open a garage door with a two-by-four is not what the mother means when she says her landlord fixed it.
I can't speculate on the circumstances, but I'm left with questions (and I'm sure I'm not the only one). I’d like to hear your thoughts on and reactions to this news. Drop me a line at lvasquez@vpico.com.

DIY Dialogue: Industry Reacts to Torsion Spring DIY Advocate

DIY Dialogue: Industry Reacts to Torsion Spring DIY Advocate
By Lauren Vasquez09/29/2008
Complaints, accusations and a few defenses flew in September after PDD reported on a controversial blog about DIY torsion-spring replacement. Click here to read the original story.
In response to this DIYer’s adamant claims that the garage door industry is using scare tactics to deter the average Joe from repairing his own equipment, we asked readers the following questions:
How often do you receive calls from the public wanting to purchase and install their own springs?
How many attempted DIY jobs have you been called in to fix?
Have any of these DIYers been injured in the process?
In his blog, does Kinch sufficiently warn against the dangers of DIY garage repairs, or is he too caught up in bad-mouthing the industry?
Here, a sampling of the reactions from the industry to Richard Kinch’s “How I Replaced Deadly Torsion Springs ... And Lived to Tell the Tale.”
“I have been in the business for more than 24 years,” says Larry Edwards, former operations manager for Dayton Door Group of Dayton, Ohio. “Several customers would want to purchase torsion springs. After the sale, we would receive calls from the wives asking us to come finish the job because their husbands received broken hands/arms/fingers.”
Edwards, now a salesman for Dayton Door Group, notes that his company requires customers to sign a waiver when purchasing springs or doors they plan to install or repair themselves.
“We quote torsion spring prices every day to consumers who often say that they know how to safely and properly install them,” reports Mark Silverstein of Roanoke, Va.-based Dixie Building Products Inc. “We always recommend professional installation, and more often than not, customers hire us to do the work and are truly thankful for it.”
Silverstein, who has not installed in more than 10 years, says he now gladly pays professionals to do repairs in his home because, “until you have had a winding bar slip out of your hands, you have no idea how scary a torsion spring can be.”
Penn Central Spring simply refuses to sell to direct to consumers, says Allison Mancuso, vice president of the spring manufacturing company. “It is not a matter of trade restraint; it is a matter of self preservation — my company’s and the general public’s,” she says. “We get about one to two calls a week from the general public, that range from wanting pricing on a specific spring to wanting pricing on ‘whatever the standard spring is for an 8-foot-high door,’ or even asking, ‘How do I wind the spring?’ Every single one of these questions scares me, and I refer them to a reputable door dealer in their area.”
Rob Ellefsen, director of sales and marketing for Lincolnwood, Ill.-based Advanced Plastic Corp., has 25 years experience in the industry. Ellefsen points out that while springs may be available to some consumers, there is “an immediate hidden danger that exists with a loaded garage door spring that many homeowners are unaware of.”
Still, a few dealers call Kinch’s blog extremely informative — so much so that one professional printed out the instructions and posted them for customers to review. “I came across this Web site a couple of years ago,” says Joshua Pettiette of Phoenix-based Smokey II’s Doorman Inc. “I downloaded his entire manual and had it available to the public at my showroom. I think his directions, without the commentary, were pretty good — except when he stacked wood to stand on.”
“I must admit, I’ve run across the Web site you referred to,” says Ted Newman of Minneapolis/St. Paul-based Ole and Lena’s Garage Door Service. While Newman found it thorough, he “...finds it difficult to believe that the average Joe homeowner would sit down and spend the time reading this. Fortunately, most of society does not have the desire, experience or time to find the springs and install them themselves. We are safe.”
But does commonsense prevail?
Silverstein recalls an incident where a homeowner refused the offer to have his springs professionally installed. When one of the screwdrivers he was using to wind the springs slipped, he grabbed the spring with both hands. Silverstein then received that aforementioned call from a panicked wife — who could not transport her badly injured husband to the hospital because the door was not repaired. His company, of course, rushed out to repair the springs and free the wounded DIYer.
Closing remarks
“In the time it takes an individual with a lack of knowledge to gather proper procedure and instruction information and the tools required for this project (that only comes up once in a while), they’d be dollars ahead going with a professional,” Ellefsen adds.
“Manufacturers are protecting the consumer by selling only to professional service companies,” Silverstein says. “Restraint of trade? Not a chance. It is simply a prudent and truly responsible act on the part of all involved.”
“In conclusion, Mr. Kinch, when you are a few feet off the ground, on a ladder, twisted in an unnatural stance and the screwdriver you are using to unwind or wind the spring decides it can’t handle the job, flies out of your hand at an alarming rate of speed and causes you bodily injury, do not call me,” Mancuso warns.
