Common Garage Door Installation Issues in Westmont
Springs sized for an old door
Widened openings and replacement doors often keep the original springs, leaving the door out of balance.
Openers burning out early
An out-of-balance door makes the opener do the lifting, which wears it out.
Openers with no photo eyes
Period chain-drive openers predate the 1993 federal entrapment protection requirement.
Corrosion on bare steel
Marine air reaches Fountain Valley, so springs, cables and roller stems are checked for rust.
