Glenn County is located about halfway between Redding and Sacramento in Northern California. It is largely an agricultural community with the Sacramento River on the east, majestic mountains on the west, and the Interstate 5 corridor taking you through abundant farmlands.
At Door-Mart™ Garage Doors, we install and repair all kinds of garage doors – steel, vinyl, fiberglass, aluminum and wood. Whether you’ve got a broken spring, a misaligned track, malfunctioning garage door opener, or something else, we can fix it.
Why DIY Glenn County Garage Door Repair Is More Dangerous Than You Think
Garage doors are heavyweight, dangerous structures, and performing any kind of DIY work on it may make the problem even bigger and more expensive. Of course, you can and should inspect the door, apply lubrication, and look for visible signs of wear.
However, if something is broken or your garage door is not working the way it should, the solution must be left to Glenn County garage door repair experts. Here are a few key reasons why you should never attempt to repair your garage door on your own:
Tools
Professional garage door repair technicians have specialized tools, ladders, and the spare parts required to fix most issues. They will also have something you simply can’t buy at Home Depot or any other hardware store – spring stock, operator parts, special cable pulleys, aircraft cable, cold rolled steel winding bars, torches, etc.
If you think your pliers, screwdrivers, and hammers will be enough to do the job, think again. Those basic tools might be good for the small jobs around the house, but they are of little use for garage door repair.
Ladders
Thousands of homeowners are injured or killed in home-repair related accidents each year. And in almost all of these cases, the leading cause is falling. Climbing up a ladder to fix your garage door may seem like the simplest thing in the world but it can be a disaster waiting to happen.
Training
Another factor to consider is that with overhead garage doors, repairs must be done in a particular order. Do you know the first step to replace, adjust or wind a spring? Do you know how to attach a new cable to a bottom fixture, drum, or a spring? Do you know if the repair needs to be made with the door in the closed or open position?
If you tried to do the Glenn County garage door repair work yourself, how would you test it to see if you did it right? Repairs related to a garage door spring are among the most dangerous jobs and can result in severe injury or even death, if not done properly.
