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 Carmel-by-the-Sea and the cities around it.
Where the counterbalance over a door is a torsion spring, it is wound in one direction and not the other, and a spring wound the wrong way is not a spring that fits. The drums the lift cables wrap onto are handed to match it, each cable has to come off its drum on the correct side, and the shaft all of it sits on turns one way to lift the door and the other to set it down.
So direction gets established before anything else: which end of the shaft each spring sits on, which way its coils run, and which side each cable drops down. None of that is visible from the driveway, and where a door has been worked on before, what is up there now is the starting point rather than whatever the builder hung. The first part of the job is looking, not fetching.
What the public record offers instead is a date on the building. The census counts 3,250 housing units in Carmel-by-the-Sea and prints a margin of 335 on that count. It puts the middle of that stock at 1946 and prints five years of margin on the year itself, so even the midpoint is a window rather than a date. That window reaches across two decades the table will not rank against each other — 417 units dated to the 1950s and 396 to the 1940s, 21 apart with 195 of margin on that difference. Of the 3,250, 85.1% predates 1980 and 4.7% arrived in 2000 or later.
Those are counts of dwellings by the year each was finished, which is what the survey set out to collect. It does not describe a counterbalance, and no year would. Direction, handedness and which side each part belongs on get answered at the opening, by eye and by hand, before a tool goes anywhere near the tension.
