A garage door usually gives you a little warning before it quits. It groans on the way up, hangs crooked by a few inches, or slams shut harder than it used to.

A door that feels merely annoying on Monday can become a genuine safety issue by Friday. Broken springs and door imbalance are two of the most common reasons people start searchi

Most garage doors work so quietly in the background that homeowners barely think about them until something goes wrong. Then it becomes the only thing they can think about.
