Common Spring & Cable Repair Issues in Downtown Fullerton
Non-standard openings on historic homes
Early twentieth century garages were built for small cars and often have doors made to fit rather than ordered.
Wood doors out of balance
Old wood doors gain and lose weight with moisture, overloading springs sized for their original weight.
One-piece tilt-up doors
Surviving tilt-up doors swing out as they lift and need different hardware from a sectional door.
Heavy cycling on shop roll-ups
Commercial roll-ups cycle all day and wear springs and drums much sooner than home doors.
Tight alley and street access
Alleys, narrow streets and metered parking make truck access something to plan.
