Torsion Spring Repair
The torsion spring is the round spring located above the garage door. Torsion springs are what actually lift the weight of the garage door. Besides seeing a broken spring, you may have torsion spring issues if your garage door stops when it is going up. The average garage door weighs between 150 to 250 pounds, and without a working torsion spring, the garage door opener cannot lift the door. Attempting to use a garage door opener to raise a garage door with a broken spring can cause numerous parts on the opener to break.
If you have a failed torsion spring, you should not attempt to open it. Doing so can be extremely dangerous. Trying to replace the springs yourself can be equally hazardous. Replacing a torsion spring requires an excellent working knowledge of which spring to use as a replacement. The correct springs are determined based on the weight of the door. With dozens of potential replacement springs, Independent Overhead Doors can quickly and accurately install the one that is correct for your door.
Like any mechanical device, torsion springs will eventually fail or reach the end of their useful life. When they do, call Independent Overhead Doors for a prompt, dependable repair.
Garage Door Rollers
The garage door rollers are fastened along the side panels of your garage door and run in the vertical and horizontal garage door tracks. Depending on your door, they could be nylon or metal. If you’ve noticed the garage door being noisier when opening and closing, it could be due to your rollers. When replacement is needed, Independent Overhead Doors can replace your damaged rollers with a premium grade replacement roller that will give you many years of life. Call IOD today and let us reduce the noise from your garage door and new garage door rollers.
Garage Door Cables
Although they are simple, there are a few different things can go wrong with garage door cables. Occasionally they can become wound incorrectly around the drum so that the door becomes jammed. This may also cause the door to droop to one side. Cables can also become completely unwound from the drum. IOD reconnects unwound cables quickly. Sometimes the garage door pulleys can become worn and sieze. When this happens, the cable won’t slip through as smoothly, and you’ll again notice that your door becomes stuck or cocked to one side. If this is the case, we can replace the pulleys.
Garage door cables will break on occasion. Often times this is simply due to age. Over time, the cables can become weak and break. In some environments, rust can cause a cable to break. Rust can corrode the cable, and unless you address it early, the rust can eat through the cable. Age may also cause a garage door cable to fray. No matter the cause, a broken cable is a big problem and warrants a call to Independent Overhead Doors for a safe, secure fix for this problem.
Bent or Damaged Garage Door Tracks
Bent or damaged garage door tracks are a common repair problem. If tracks get bent or misaligned, it can cause undue strain on other parts of the garage door assembly and should. Always repair bent tracks as soon as possible. This way, no further damage is caused to the entire door assembly.

Broken or Damaged Garage Door Hinges
Although small in size, hinges are very important for the proper operation of your garage door. When broken, just opening your garage door will be difficult and can cause other, more costly, damage to your system. If you see signs of loose or damaged hinges, call Independent Overhead Doors and have us correct the problem.
Your garage door hinges are under a lot of operational stress each time the door is opened or closed. They sometimes come under tremendous strain should someone accidentally hit the garage door with a car. Independent Overhead Doors can replace any needed hinges with heavy duty steel hinges that will give you many years of life. Call us today.
Garage Door Weather Strips
Most people have many things of value in their garage. You can help keep those contents safe from the elements by having Independent Overhead Doors install the correct garage door weather stripping and garage door seals for your garage door. Our vast experience and industry knowledge lets us keep your contents safe, dry and secure. IOD can quickly install new weather stripping that works 24 hours a day, seven days a week to keep unwanted dirt, leaves, and water from getting into your garage.
Garage Door Panels
Due to damage or accident, you may be able to replace just one section rather than the entire door. Frequently, though, there is more than a panel that has sustained damage. The issue with replacing only one section is that the door parts are designed and measured for that specific door. Let us at Independent Overhead Doors find the correct replacement panel for your garage door system. We will ensure that your new panel looks good from the outside and that your garage door maintains its overall integrity.
If the panel got damaged in some way, it could’ve damaged the connecting and moving parts connected to the panel. Some of these essential parts may include the struts on the door and the garage door track. Damage to these parts in any way compromises the functionality of your door.
Garage Door Alignment
Affecting more than just appearance, a properly aligned garage door is essential for the daily operation and functioning of your door system. A poorly aligned garage door places more stress on the rollers. This causes the tracks to bend or break. A misaligned garage door can even burn out the motor in the garage door opener. One of the primary causes of a misaligned door that we see every day is defective door spring(s). Often a spring has broken or simply needs to be adjusted. Call Independent Overhead Doors when you notice a misalignment because continued use of a poorly aligned garage door can lead to even more damage and other costly repairs in the future.
The skilled technicians at IOD can quickly diagnose and correct any alignment issues with your garage door. Call us today for same day service.

We can repair all major brands including Genie, Overhead Door, Craftsman, Lift Master and others. After your garage door opener repair or installation, keep it in top operating condition with regular yearly maintenance to avoid costly future issues.
Garage Door Extension Springs
Many homes in this area still have extension springs rather than torsion springs. The extension springs are the ones you might see mounted on the sides of your garage door. They extend when the door is in motion, using counterbalance force to support the weight of the door. Though they are initially less expensive, there are some downsides that you should be aware of. Extension springs require more parts and are less easy to clean and maintain. They also have a reduced lifespan when compared to torsion springs. On the positive side, they often take less space than torsion springs, so they may be an option for those with small garages that don’t have room for torsion springs.
When you experience a failure of an extension spring, call the professionals at Independent Overhead Doors. We can quickly repair or replace broken springs and return your garage door to normal operating conditions.
Garage Door Tune-Up
As with many other parts of your home, your garage door system requires a little care and maintenance. Some tasks, like oiling the springs and other moving parts, can be completed by most homeowners.
