A garage door is the largest moving object in your home, and because of the large number of parts, installation of a garage door is highly technical. Connecting the springs can be particularly dangerous, and proper installation is critical to the performance of your door. Professional garage door dealer/installers can typically install a door in a few hours and are careful to make sure safety requirements are met. Installations by most homeowners typically span several days and cause much frustr
ation. In addition, incorrect installation can void certain warranties, so we recommend a trained garage door installer to handle the job for you. One of the other services a professional garage door dealer can provide is the disposal of your old garage door if you are replacing a door.
There are two kinds of springs on garage doors that make it possible for the door to go up and down: torsion springs and extension springs. Garage door springs are wound extremely tight which creates the tension needed to lift a 500+ pound door. For the untrained individual, touching or working on the springs of a broken garage door can lead to the springs snapping and whipping out. If a person is nearby, the spring can strike them causing serious, possibly even fatal injuries. A trained garage door technician will have lots of experience safely installing and repairing springs. They’ll also have specialized tools that help them do their job safely and correctly.
There are many reasons why you should hire a professional. These include:
The professional will have the right tools to measure and even cut the right spring size
Will have the right tools to install the springs using the correct tension
Will understand the right method of installing in a safe way so as to avoid accidents

The professional will have the necessary experience to perform the job correctly, eliminating the chances of causing additional damage to your garage door
