What causes track misalignment in garage doors?

Track misalignment can occur due to several factors: impact from a vehicle, loose mounting brackets, worn rollers that cause uneven wear, foundation settling that shifts the frame, or improper installation.

How long does a garage door spring typically last?

Standard garage door springs are rated for approximately 10,000 cycles (one cycle = one open and one close). For a typical household that uses the garage door 4 times daily, this translates to about 7-10 years. High-cycle springs rated for 25,000-50,000 cycles are available and recommended for heavy usage. Learn more in our [spring maintenance tips](/blog/spring-maintenance-tips) article.

What's the difference between torsion and extension springs?

Torsion springs are mounted above the door opening and use torque to lift the door. They're generally safer, quieter, and last longer than extension springs. Extension springs are mounted on either side and stretch to provide lifting force. While less expensive initially, they have a shorter lifespan. Our [repair technicians](/services/repair) can help you choose the right option.

Can you replace just one panel of my garage door?

In many cases, yes! Single panel replacement is possible if we can match the panel style, color, and manufacturer. This is often a cost-effective [repair solution](/services/repair). However, if your door is older than 15 years, matching panels may be difficult, and a full [door replacement](/services/installation) might be more economical.

How much does it cost to install a new garage door?

Garage door [installation](/services/installation) costs vary based on size, material, insulation, and style. Basic single-car steel doors start around $600-$1,000 installed. Insulated steel doors range from $900-$1,500. Carriage-style and custom doors can range from $1,500-$5,000+.

See our [belt replacement guide](/blog/belt-replacement-guide) for more on opener components.

What should I do if my garage door won't open?

First, check if the opener is receiving power and if the remote batteries are fresh. Try the wall button to rule out remote issues. Check our [manual release safety guide](/blog/manual-release-safety) to learn how to operate your door manually. If these steps don't resolve the issue, call our [emergency service](/services/emergency)—we offer 2-hour response and can diagnose the problem quickly.

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend professional [maintenance](/services/maintenance) at least once per year.
