What your garage door’s noise is telling you
Grinding, popping and a single loud bang are three different faults with three very different bills.
The thirty-second safety test nobody does
Every automatic door has a reverse mechanism, and a surprising number of them no longer work.
Why we replace both springs, not one
It looks like an upsell and is very nearly always the cheaper option.
Belt, chain or screw: which opener to buy
The right answer depends almost entirely on what is on the other side of the garage wall.
The door closes, then opens again
Almost always the photo eyes, and almost always fixable in a couple of minutes without calling anybody.
What an annual service actually includes
Twenty minutes of checks that prevent most of the emergency calls we get.
