Spring work needs careful handling because of stored tension. It is not a weekend experiment. If that sounds familiar, Broken Spring Replacement in Cupertino, CA may be the next step.
Cables help keep the door lifting evenly. When a cable frays or slips, the door can go crooked or jam. We often see this after a door has been run with spring issues or after a roller binds.
Noisy doors are often roller or hinge related. Track alignment matters too. A track that is slightly out of line can cause rubbing, shaking, and uneven travel.
A door that was bumped by a car or a basketball hoop can have a bent section. Sometimes the door still moves, but it is no longer straight, and that can stress hinges and rollers.
