Kansas City Garage Door Repair Your garage door is the largest moving object in your Kansas City home. It functions via a series of simple machines: pulleys, cables, rollers, axles, gears, etc. When one of these overhead door components is faulty, it can create secondary issues and cause other parts to wear out prematurely. Professional garage door repair companies like State Line Door & Lift, with experienced technicians recommend having your garage door service and garage door opener serviced at least once a year.

So what types of things can go wrong on your garage door and opener? Here is a quick review of some very common things that wear out over time in the Kansas City metro area, based on the frequency of use . Garage Door SpringsGarage door springs create the counterbalance of the weight of your garage door. The springs are calibrated for the exact weight and size of your garage door. While most springs look the same, there is a significant difference. Extension springs are attached to the backhangs, or end of the horizontal track and extend above the track when the garage door closes. Extension springs can be replaced at a cost between $145-$200 for residential garage doors. Torsion springs can be replaced at a cost between $250-$400 for most residential garage doors. Some residential garage doors have commercial spring setups and push $1000 to replace. Prices include labor. Garage Door CablesThe garage door springs provide the counterbalance of the garage door itself, via the cables that are attached to the bottom bracket of the garage door. A visual inspection will show rust and corrosion starting, and with the minimal cost of replacement, we highly recommend saving money and do some preventative repair. Replacement cost is between $125-$185 for most residential garage doors, including labor. Garage Door PulleysPulleys are present only on garage doors with the extension spring system. There are four of them on your door. The front two pulleys, when bad, often cause the garage door to shimmy shake when closing. Other symptoms include garage door bouncing, loud squealing or clicking noise, or rough/violent operation. These also are easily spotted on any tune up or safety inspection, and very affordable to replace. Highly recommend replacing all 4 pulleys on your garage door. Pulleys can be replaced for $10-$20 each without labor. Garage Door RollersThe rollers on your garage door are what allow your door to run smoothly along the track. Many garage doors installed before 2008 here in Kansas City, came with steel rollers. These rollers were loud to begin with, and wear out quicker than nylon. One mistake we see homeowners make is replacing these rollers themselves with purchases from big box stores, just to see them wear out within a year. These are low-quality rollers and highly discourage you from purchasing them at these stores. Bad rollers are easily caught with any safety inspection or tune-up. Replacement cost ranges between $8-$20 each roller for most residential garage doors without labor. Garage Door Safety SensorsThe safety sensors on your garage door opener, or photo eyes as we call them, are there to prevent you from closing your garage door on something. These became mandated by law in 1993, and all garage door openers are required to have them installed no more than 6 inches above ground level. Check to make sure there is nothing in the beam path along your garage door opening. Make sure to adjust the photo eyes as needed, often times in the fall and spring months, homeowner accidently bump these when working in the yard or cleaning out the garage. Replacement cost usually ranges from $150-$200 with labor on most residential garage door openers. Garage Door Remotes and KeypadsThese electronic devices do go bad. They wear out, not from use usually, but because they are just electronic and some malfunction occurred. Universal remotes range from $45-$65. Keypads range from $65-85. Without labor or service call. Garage Door Repair Service CallThe most simple fixes just require someone with time and knowledge of what they are doing.
