 Common Garage Door Issues We Fix

 Broken Springs, Cables, and Hinges

At some point, your garage door will require repairs. When that time comes, you have three options:

  1. Hire a professional garage door company
  2. Attempt a DIY repair
  3. Leave it unattended

We’ve outlined the most common issues and what it takes to resolve them, both in terms of tools and time investment.

Hinge and Roller Replacement

Rollers and hinges are critical components of a functional garage door, and they can wear out over time. Periodic inspections are crucial for their maintenance.

How to Diagnose Issues:
For an effective evaluation, a physical and visual inspection of each roller and hinge is necessary. Look for signs of worn-out ball bearings, as well as broken or cracked hinges.

Common Causes of Breakage:
Hinges and rollers may suffer damage due to:

  • Impacts on the garage door
  • Sagging door sections
  • Normal wear and tear

Tools and Parts Checklist:

  • 7/16 socket and wrench
  • Impact driver or drill
  • Replacement hinges identical to the originals
  • Replacement rollers of the same size as the originals
  • Replacement nuts, screws, and trough bolts (for wooden doors)
  • Hammer, pliers, and vice-grip pliers
  • Ladder

Cost:

  • Hinges: Ranges from $20-$40 each.
  • Rollers: Ranges from $15-$40 each.

Time to Replace:
Approximately 10-15 minutes.

DIY Risk Level:
Low, at 3/10. It’s a task manageable by the average DIY enthusiast. Caution: avoid removing bottom fixtures as they are connected to high-tension torsion cables.

Verdict:
While we always recommend a professional approach for any garage door repairs, replacing a hinge or roller carries minimal risk and requires no specialized tools. Suitable for DIY enthusiasts with a basic understanding of power tools.

 Broken Cables

Torsion cables snapping or breaking are common malfunctions in garage doors.

How to Diagnose a Broken Cable:
A visual inspection is usually sufficient. Check for proper tension on both sides by the sidetrack and inspect the cable drum when the door is fully closed.

Why Cables Break:
Various factors can contribute to this issue:

  • Obstruction during the door’s cycle
  • Incorrectly sized springs
  • Unbalanced garage door
  • Worn-out components or accidental damage

Tools and Parts Checklist:

  • Winding bars or a spring winding device
  • 7/16 socket and wrench
  • Vice-grip pliers
  • Gloves and safety goggles
  • Garage door lubricant
  • Ladder
  • Matching torsion or extension cables

Cost:
Generally ranges from $125-$150.

Time to Replace:
Approximately 20-40 minutes.

DIY Risk Level:
Highly risky, akin to spring replacement, but without needing to disconnect springs.

Verdict:
Due to the complexities and risks involved, we strongly recommend hiring a professional garage door service like Titan Garage Doors.

Broken Torsion Spring 

The garage door spring is one of the most critical components of your garage door system. It’s responsible for counterbalancing the door’s weight, making it easier to open and close. When it breaks, your garage door can become unusable or even dangerous. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about spring replacement.

How to Diagnose a Broken Spring

  • Sound: One of the most obvious signs of a broken spring is a loud “bang” from the garage.
  • Door Operation: If your door only opens a few inches or not at all, it may be due to a broken spring.
  • Manual Test: Try lifting the garage door manually after pulling the emergency release cord. A broken spring will make the door very heavy and challenging to lift.

Why Do Springs Break?

  • Metal Fatigue: The constant tension and relaxation weaken the metal over time.
  • Rust: A lack of proper lubrication can lead to rust, which weakens the spring.
  • Normal Wear and Tear: Springs have a limited lifespan, usually around 10,000 cycles (a cycle is an open and close).

Tools and Parts Checklist

  • Impact driver
  • 7/16 and 9/16 sockets
  • Winding bars or spring winding tool
  • Vice-grip pliers
  • Gloves and safety goggles
  • Metal-bearing or nylon bushing
  • Garage door lubricant
  • Spring gauge
  • Leveling device
  • Matching replacement spring(s)
  • Ladder

Cost and Time Estimates

  • Cost: A standard-size spring can range anywhere from $200-300 for the part alone, not including labor.
  • Time to Complete: Professionals can complete this task within 30-60 minutes.

DIY Risk Level

We rate this task 10/10 on the risk scale. The springs are under tremendous tension and could cause severe injury or death if handled improperly.

The Verdict

While some garage door repairs can be a DIY project, spring replacement is not one of them due to the risks involved. We strongly recommend contacting a professional garage door service like Titan Garage Doors for this repair. Our team of skilled technicians is trained to safely and efficiently handle these complex repairs.
