Garage Door Parts That May Need Replacement
Over time, garage door components can wear out or break due to regular use, weather conditions, or mechanical failures. Garage Door Systems provides garage door parts in Emond, OKC, Oklahoma City, Mustang, OK, El Reno, Piedmont, OK and surrounding areas.
These are the most common garage door parts that may require replacement: 
- Garage Door Springs
Torsion Springs: Located above the door, these springs provide the necessary force to lift the door. They can break due to wear and tear, usually after 10,000 cycles.
Extension Springs: Found on both sides of the door, these springs stretch and contract to assist movement. They can lose tension over time and may snap.
- Rollers
These small wheels help the door move along the tracks smoothly. Worn-out rollers can cause noisy or jerky door movement and should be replaced if they become damaged or misaligned.
- Cables
Lift cables work with the springs to raise and lower the door. Frayed or broken cables can cause the door to become unbalanced or stop functioning altogether.
- Tracks
Bent or misaligned tracks can cause the garage door to get stuck or operate unevenly. Damaged tracks may need to be realigned or replaced.
- Hinges and Brackets
Hinges connect the sections of a sectional garage door, allowing it to bend as it moves. If hinges break or rust, they can cause improper operation
Brackets hold cables and other parts in place. Broken brackets should be replaced promptly to prevent further damage.
- Weather Stripping and Seals
The rubber seal at the bottom of the door prevents drafts, water, and pests from entering. Worn or cracked seals should be replaced to maintain insulation and protection.
- Garage Door Opener Components
Motor: If the opener struggles to lift the door, the motor may be failing.
Remote Control or Keypad: Worn-out batteries or faulty electronics may require replacements.
