Why Expertise Matters: A Real-Life Garage Door Fix

The Problem: A Bad Install That Didn’t Need to Happen

A homeowner contacted us after another company installed a low headroom track system—unnecessarily. There was plenty of space for a traditional setup. To make matters worse, the installers had cut the horizontal track too short, which left the door hanging low when open. The clearance was so limited, even a golf cart couldn’t fit through.

But that wasn’t all. The previous company added wood framing where it wasn’t needed, creating large air gaps, and skipped installing vinyl trim—despite the door being insulated. The result? Poor performance, wasted space, and a drafty garage.

Our Fix: A Smart, Clean Solution

We assessed the space and saw immediately that a standard track system was the right fit. We removed the low headroom track, installed a properly sized traditional track, corrected the framing, and added the vinyl trim to seal the gaps.

The outcome: over 6 inches of added clearance, a door that opens fully and smoothly, and no more air leaks. The homeowner finally had a garage that worked the way it should—efficient, functional, and secure.

Imagine you’re rushing out the door, only to find your garage door won’t budge. Frustrating, right? A broken spring, shown below , could be the culprit-and it’s more than just an inconvenience. When a garage door spring snaps, your door can become dangerously heavy or even slam shut without warning. Not only is this a hassle, but it’s also a serious safety risk for you and your family.

Can you relate to this situation? .....late for work, and then, out of nowhere, your garage door malfunctions. The garage door comes off the rollers, and you're stuck, just when you need to leave the most. If you've experienced something similar, you're not alone. The good news is that, with proper maintenance, you can avoid these emergency situations. Follow these 3 easy steps to extend the life of your garage door springs and prevent unexpected breakdowns. Step 1: Lubricate the Garage Door Springs Regularly One of the easiest ways to prolong the life of your garage door springs is regular lubrication. Apply a silicone-based lubricant every 6 months (or as needed) to prevent rust, corrosion, and excessive friction. Regular lubrication will help your garage door operate smoothly and efficiently, reducing the chances of malfunction. Step 2: Check and Balance Your Garage Door A garage door that's properly balanced is key to ensuring your springs don’t wear out too quickly. If your door is unbalanced, it puts extra strain on the springs, causing them to fail prematurely. To check the balance, manually lift your door halfway. If it doesn’t stay in place, it’s time to have it adjusted. Having a professional technician balance your garage door will ensure the springs last longer and that your door opens and closes with ease. Step 3: Schedule Regular Professional Garage Door Inspections Regular professional maintenance is essential to the longevity of your garage door springs. A trained technician can identify potential issues, make necessary adjustments, and ensure everything is working properly. Scheduling inspections at least once a year can save you from unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs. But if you wouldn’t know a garage door spring from a wrench, don’t stress. Call a professional.  Call Mr. Goldie.
