How long does a garage door installation take?

A standard garage door installation typically takes 3-4 hours for a single door and 5-6 hours for a double door. This includes removal of the old door, installation of the new door, opener setup, and testing. Complex installations or custom doors may take longer.

What is the lifespan of garage door springs?

Standard garage door springs are rated for approximately 10,000 cycles (one cycle = one open and close). With average use of 4 cycles per day, springs typically last 7-10 years. High-cycle springs rated for 25,000+ cycles can last 15-20 years. Regular maintenance can help extend spring life.

My garage door won't open. What should I do?

First, check if the opener has power and the remote batteries are working. Try the wall button to rule out remote issues. If the door still won't open, check if the manual release has been engaged. If these steps don't work, the issue may be with springs, cables, or the opener motor. Contact us for prompt diagnosis and repair.
