Why You Might Need Expert Garage Door Repair in Torrance?

It's inevitable. One day you push the opener to get your car in or out of your garage, and it won't open. You press the button more than once and each time nothing happens. You need to open this door to be able to park your car inside at the end of each day. You rely on the ability to get out so that you can leave home and get to work in a timely manner.

Door Inoperative

One of the many reasons could make your door inoperative. Any of them can be fixed, but until you figure out what happened, you're stuck with your car inside or out. All you want is the door to open so you can go shopping or get your car up, especially if you're expecting a storm.

Door Repair - Why It Could Be Broken

Take a look at this list of possible causes so you can start reducing them:

- Photo eye connection cannot work

- The motor was accidentally disconnected

- Broken torsion spring

- The wall button works, but the remote control or keyless remote does not work

- The cable is broken

The photo eye should have a clear line to "see" the door opening and make sure it is clear when the door closes. If the eye is dirty or something is blocking its line of sight, this needs to be corrected. Check the operator and make sure the motor has not been accidentally disconnected.

The torsion springs will only work for a certain period. When the spring has raised and lowered the garage door for a number of cycles, it will stop working. It can even break. If this happens, the only person doing the repairs should be a professional repairman.

If the wall button still works, the batteries in your car remote or keyless remote may be dead. If so, the batteries simply need to be replaced. If they still won't lift the door when you press the 'open' button, the remotes may need to be reprogrammed.

The cable is different from the torsion spring. When the spring breaks, the cable also breaks. Again, only a professional should resolve this issue.

Broken Overhead Cable

You and a professional repairman decided that the necessary repair involved a broken door cable. The cable connects to the drum you find next to the top of the garage door.

Why is it so important that only a professional repairman performs the repair? The door is extremely heavy and difficult to control. Because the cable is attached to the bottom of the door as well as to the drum, it is subjected to a high degree of pressure and tension. The only person who knows exactly what to do to perform the necessary repair is a qualified repair technician. Until you have a technician come to your home to make the necessary repairs, you will not be able to use your garage door.
