Identify what your door is doing before you call. If it is one of these, do not keep operating it.
Your torsion spring has snapped under intense torsional load. Forcing the opener to lift the door without spring assistance will burn out the motor or snap the drive belt.
A stripped internal nylon drive gear or a blown starting capacitor. We carry complete carriage gear rebuild kits in our trucks to repair your system immediately.
Don't let a snapped spring, snapped cable, ripped weather seal, or a defective remote keep you locked inside. Our expert teams carry fully stocked dispatch trucks. We regularly perform comprehensive garage door maintenance (inspection, lubrication, adjustment, and component testing) to keep your system safe. We serve Bell and the cities around it.
Start at the bottom of the door and the frame either side of it. The middle of this stock was finished seventy years ago, and the census counts 5,238 of Bell's 9,088 housing units standing before 1960 against 371 put up since 2000 — so the work here is almost always an opening that already exists being made to run again. That is a set of measurements, taken on arrival: how the door sits down across its full width, what the track fasteners have to bite into, and whether the frame has already been cut, patched or re-drilled by work that came before.
The build years give no shortcut. 1,867 units date to the 1940s and 1,799 to 1939 or earlier — 68 apart, a gap narrower than the margin of error the census publishes on either count, so neither one is the era of the place. On a block of that mix the counterbalance is a per-garage question and not a street-wide one. Torsion and extension are not the same visit — different hardware sitting in different places, and a different order of work for getting the tension out — so establishing which of the two is on the door comes before anything gets unbolted.
Overhead runs on the year stamped on the unit, not the year on the house. Congress made the 1988 revision of UL 325 a federal consumer product safety rule for operators manufactured on or after January 1, 1991: reverse within two seconds of contacting a two inch test object, and reopen if the bottom limit switch is not activated within thirty seconds of the close command. The separate requirement binding units manufactured on or after January 1, 1993 could be satisfied two ways — an external entrapment protection device, or a constant-contact control, which closes the door only while it is held. Those are two different things to look for down at the opening: one is a device fitted to the door or across the opening, the other is a person standing where they can see the bottom of it. Which is why the useful question in an old garage is not what year the house went up, but what — if anything — is covering the bottom of the door, and that is settled at the wall and at the opening before the head unit comes down.
