How do I tell if my garage door spring is balanced properly?

Disconnect the operator by pulling the red release cord with the door fully closed. Then, open the door halfway by hand and let go of the door. The door should pretty much stay in the same position, although some slight drifting may occur. If the door wants to drop or if it opens on its own, the garage door springs should be adjusted by trained and experienced garage door service technicians. If you need help with overhead door service in Des Moines, IA, contact us today.

What standard maintenance can I do on my own?

Make sure to have the door and rollers lubricated twice a year. Garage doors have a typical life span of about 20 years, or potentially much longer if maintained properly. You should have an annual inspection by our trained garage door contractors in Des Moines, IA.

How do I choose the right garage door opener?

There are several things to consider when picking out a new opener. Things like the size of your door, living spaces above or below where the opener would be causing any noises, and specific technology features. Upgrade to the new WiFi openers! Our team of garage door contractors in Des Moines, IA would be happy to discuss your options.

How to open my door when the power is out?

It depends on the model, so always refer to the owner’s manual for further instructions. You can open the door from the inside using the red emergency release cord which hangs from the mounted overhead opener. With the garage door fully closed, simply pulling the emergency cord straight down should release the door from the carriage, allowing you to operate the door manually. If at all possible, do not release the garage door when open, except for emergency or security purposes, and close the door with caution. Opening the door from the outside requires the installation of an emergency release lock. We also have new units that have backup batteries that will still open your door when the power is out. We are the overhead door service Des Moines, IA relies on in times of need.
