If your garage door ever becomes crooked, be careful not to move the door as it can become much worse
in a hurry.
A door in this position should be repaired only by a trained technician. When a door goes askew it will push against the
track at opposite corners, bending the lower track on one side, and the upper track on the other. Two or three rollers may come out
of the track. A garage door in this position is a serious issue, but very repairable. If your door is otherwise in good condition,
we can get you operational again in no time. It is a good idea to unplug your opener so that someone doesn't mistakenly try to open
it causing much more damage. For help in Round Rock, TX area call 512-THE-DOOR today.
All garage door springs eventually break. The average lifespan of a garage door spring is just 10,000 cycles,
or approximately 7 to 10 years. A standard 16' x 7' garage door can weigh well over 200 lbs, and is very difficult to lift without
the assistance of the spring lift system. Spectrum Overhead Door offers speedy replacement of garage door springs. All service trucks
are well stocked with springs to better serve you when you need it the most. If you have a vehicle trapped in the garage, we strive
to be at your assistance within just one or two hours. Torsion springs can be very dangerous as they are wound up multiple times to
achieve the force needed to provide lift. Winding and unwinding garage door springs is a task best left to the pros. Call Spectrum

Rollers are very important moving parts much like tires on your vehicle. Worn out rollers will cause excessive noise
and will keep your garage door from operating smoothely. When the ball bearing inside the rollers begin to wear out, the roller will
become loose and wobble during operation eventually breaking. A broken roller can lead to a costly repair such as the door coming
off track, or going crooked. Proper maintenance of your garage door will go a long way to preventing costly failures from occuring.
It is recommended to replace your rollers at least every 10 years. The rollers and other moving parts such as the hinges, bearing
plates, and springs should be lubricated with a light spray lubricant every three to four months. Spectrum Overhead Door is your local
garage door service in Round Rock.
A broken or tangled cable should repaired immediately and the door should not be operated until fixed. Garage
door cables are under the tension of the springs and can be very dangerous to work on if proper safety measures are not taken. Frayed
and/or rusty cables should also be replaced as soon as possible. When replacing a broken torsion cable, it is a good idea to replace
the other one at the same time. Replacing garage door cables is a very common repair and can be completed in about 30 minutes. Cables
are one of the most important parts to your garage door lift system. The weight of the entire garage door is suspended by the two
cables. Cables are attached to the bottom of the door and are held in place by the bottom fixture plate. This plate should not be
removed unless spring tension is first unwound. Call 512-THE-DOOR for help in the Round Rock area.

old or older. Spectrum Overhead Door specializes in opener repair and carries parts to service most brands of garage door openers.
