Think you can save a few bucks by doing your own garage door repair? Think again.
Do you really understand what’s going on with your garage door? Most people don’t. Garage doors tend to be one of those things you hardly even notice—until something goes wrong.
Even the most skilled weekend handyman should call on a professional garage door repair outfit if something goes awry with their garage door. The average garage door weighs more than 250 pounds, and some older wooden garage doors may weigh a whopping 350 pounds. Besides the weight, a garage door has a lot of moving parts, many of which can really hurt anyone who messes with them. Things like pulleys, cables, and torsion springs have the capacity to take a person’s fingers right off. Is that something a home handyman is prepared to deal with? Probably not.
We don’t want you to fear your garage door. It might be in your best interest to know a thing or two about how it works, however. Popular Mechanics magazine published an interesting article about electric garage door openers; if you’d like an idea of what happens when you open and close your garage door, give it a read and then give us a call.
