If you are interested in enhancing your garage door's overall operation, we recommend starting with our comprehensive professional tune-up. Our experienced technicians will conduct a detailed inspection of your entire system, lubricate all moving components, secure any hinges or bolts that have loosened, and confirm that the safety reversal system is operating properly. They will also offer expert guidance on correct long-term maintenance procedures and address any specific questions you may have. For clients seeking additional noise reduction, we suggest an upgrade to our premium steel ball-bearing rollers featuring a nylon coating for smooth and quiet operation. If you are looking to further reduce noise, installing one of our professional-grade, remarkably quiet belt drive openers could be a great choice!

At O’Brien, we understand that a functional garage door is critical to your daily routine. We exclusively install high-quality steel springs for your peace of mind. Our technicians will arrive stocked with a wide variety of standard torsion and extension springs so that we are able to perform most spring repairs on-the-spot for your convenience. Should your door require a specialized spring size, we will get it ordered and installed as quickly as possible!

• Why Changing the Spring Immediately is Important

If a garage door spring breaks, prompt, professional replacement is essential. Operating the door with a broken spring may cause severe damage to the automatic opener or throw the door off its tracking.

• What if the spring is not broken yet?

If the spring is not yet broken but the door feels heavy, it is a sign that the spring may break soon and should probably be replaced. Adding tension to the spring is an option, however, it will often break shortly after, if not during the process of adjusting it.

• Can I change the spring myself?

Considering the extreme torque and pressure involved in the spring mechanism, we strongly advise against performing this repair without professional training and tools to avoid injury.

• Should we replace one or both springs?

If your garage door operates with a dual-spring configuration, the standard recommendation is generally to replace both springs at the same time. Given that both springs most likely have the same original installation date, the second spring will most likely break soon-after. Changing both springs during a single visit eliminates the expense of a future, separate service call and labor charge.

Has your garage door unexpectedly come off its tracking? Whether the issue is a minor misalignment or a completely lopsided door, we can fix it quickly! Our technicians will swiftly re-spool the cables onto the drums, align all the rollers back in their tracks, and align and balance the door.

Is your garage door operating unevenly? Perhaps it is heavy and does not stay in place when lifted and disengaged from the door? Our expert technicians are equipped to accurately evaluate your door's weight distribution and implement all required adjustments to achieve perfect balance. If the door is not balanced properly, it can cause damage to the automatic door opener or throw it off its track!

We can quickly address any issue affecting your automatic garage door opener, whether the problem involves door reversal, programming issues, the necessity for parts such as remotes, keypads, sensors, etc, or adjustments are needed such as the opener's force and travel limits. We maintain an extensive inventory of brand-specific parts for leading manufacturers such as LiftMaster Professional, Chamberlain, Genie, and Overhead Door, so that your system operates optimally (instead of using universal parts).

When is it time to teplace the opener instead of repair?

We always prefer to repair when we’re able to. However, you may opt to replace your opener instead if:

• Replacement parts are no longer manufactured

• You would like to upgrade because of noise reduction, technological advances, safety features

• Your opener is near the end of its lifecycle and will continue to need costly repairs

At O'Brien Garage Doors, our expertise lies in replacing the mechanical components critical to the smooth and safe operation of your system. When these parts function become weak or brittle, it poses a risk to the entire system malfunctioning.

We stock a large selection of durable, high-quality, commercial-grade steel replacement parts, including pulleys, drums, hinges, lifting cables, rollers, torsion springs, and much more! Whether you need a few parts or a complete overhaul, we’ve got you covered!

If only a single section or panel of your garage door has damage, a complete door replacement may not be necessary! We are specialists in individual panel replacement and can help you determine if this cost-effective solution is feasible for your situation. We will assess your door's manufacturer, model specifications, dimensions, and color to confirm availability, order a matching panel, and complete the installation for you.

• When to Choose a New Door Instead

Although replacing an individual panel presents an excellent solution oftentimes, it is not always doiable or makes the most sense. Consider replacing the entire door if:

• Multiple sections have sustained damage; the cost may be close to that of a new door

• The existing door has faded in color and a new section may not match

• You would like to change the style of your door

• The specific manufacturer or model of your current door has been discontinued

Are you experiencing issues with wind, rain, moisture, or even small pests coming into your garage space? This common problem typically originates from deteriorating or damaged seals along the door's bottom edge or perimeter. Provided that the underlying issue is not structural (such as foundation settling and gaps appearing), we can install new bottom weather seals and fresh perimeter vinyl trim to completely eliminate these unwanted gaps. If your door is misaligned we may be able to make some adjustments as well.
