Ken Davidson Garage Door’s certified technicians are fully equipped to work on torsion and extension spring systems.
The most common question we get over the phone is, “Okay, so how much does it cost to replace garage door springs?” To give you an exact price quote, we would need to know the size of the door, weight, and type of garage door springs needed (torsion or extension). Since we carry so many different types of springs to account for all the different types of garage doors, we recommend that a certified technician takes the proper measurements himself before giving you an exact price quote.
Both torsion and extension springs can be extremely dangerous. Because the springs are wound very tightly, if they were to break they could cause a lot of damage as well as bodily injury. If you suspect that your garage door springs are in need of maintenance, please leave it to the pros and call us today.

There are three types of garage door cables: torsion spring cables, extension spring cables and safety cables. They come in various lengths, thicknesses and strand counts.
These cables possess a loop right at the end which is connected to the base of the door using a crimped stop at the opposite end. These cables need to be linked and twisted in a particular way. Furthermore, each door height demands a certain size of cable.
These types of cables are being used on doors which have springs found each side within the track. Extension Spring Cables are generally constructed with a 7×7 cable in diameters of 3/32″ or 1/8″. The standard configuration is a loop on one end and a bare end on the other. The length of the cable is measured from the bearing surface of the loop to the end of the cable. Cables are ordered in pairs.
These are used together with extension spring systems. This kind of cable is fastened at every end and is threaded over the extension spring. In case of a spring malfunction, the safety cable consists of both damaged ends of the spring, making sure they will not fly at great speed throughout your garage area.
We install and repair most garage door roller makes and models! If you need a garage door roller repaired or installed call Ken Davidson Garage Doors today.
The bottom of the line roller is the nylon roller. This is what comes with most new installs and becomes very brittle over time. These usually do not hold up very long and tend to wear down which can cause it to pop out and the door to come off track. This type of roller will also cause the gear and sprocket in the opener to go bad very quickly because they drag which causes more work for these parts within the opener.
The second worst rollers are the steel bearing rollers. These rollers are great in the beginning; unfortunately, they tend to get very bad after a couple years. The bearings are great but they don’t have a bushing to hold the roller on to the stem which causes it to not roll up in a straight line. These rollers can cause major damage because it can pop completely off of the stem and can cause a great catastrophe making the door fall completely off. The other unfortunate quality of these rollers is they become very loud. Any time you have metal on metal it will cause a louder more undesirable sound.
The best rollers are the Teflon bearing rollers. Door with these rollers are very quiet and tend to last a lot longer. Most companies will give a lifetime warranty on these rollers because they last so long. These rollers have a bushing built into the stem which holds the bearings inside of the roller much better than the other two types.
We install and repair most garage door track makes and models! If you need a garage door track repaired or installed call Ken Davidson Garage Doors today.
There are three different types of garage door tracks: standard, vertical and high lift tracks. Whereas standard tracks are meant for residential garages, vertical tracks are mostly used for commercial and industrial garages. High lift garage door tracks are a combination of both standard and vertical tracks, and are also more often used in residential garages.
Standard lift tracks handle the lift for most residential applications. A standard lift consists of a vertical track, rising to about eight inches short of the door height six feet four inches in most residential locations and a curved section turning back to the remainder of the horizontal track. Together, these allow the door sections to rise and move to a horizontal position above the garage floor.
Vertical lift systems, seen in many commercial and industrial applications, consist of a track which rises vertically as with the standard lift, but include an additional vertical track pitched increasingly away from the interior wall, sometimes to a distance of 12-18?. This extra space allows for the spring assembly. High lift brackets span the widening distance, at points on the extension.
High lift systems combine the features of standard lift and vertical lift. These feature a vertical track, a horizontal track that is shorter than in a standard lift system, and a high lift extension varying in length depending on application and user needs. Practically, based on a residential garage ceiling measuring about 12? high, this extension can measure up to four feet (above standard height of seven, five minus one to allow for the top section passage to horizontal track). Residential applications may either start with a high lift system, or a high lift conversion kit can be used to convert the garage door to high lift. These kits have seen increasing use recently.

Common garage door panel styles include recessed panels, ribbed panels, insulated panels, raised panels, microwave panels, cassette panels, and garage door panels with windows.
Insulated garage door panels are best when replacing existing garage door panels. This type of garage door panel is energy-efficient, and ensures a comfortable environment inside the garage.
Garage door panels with windows are aesthetically pleasing and provides natural lighting inside the garage. However, this type is not appealing when privacy and security are the primary concerns. A solid garage door panel, which is affordable and requires low maintenance, is suitable for people who want privacy and a sense of security in their garages. There are numerous decorative styles available. If you want to let a little light into your garage, consider a door panel with windows. These types of panels are available with a variety of window styles.
Garage door panels made from wood composite do not cost as much as the other types of garage door panels because they are made from recycled materials. Wooden garage door panels are very common and are very easy to replace when needed. However, wooden garage door panels and the environment-friendly wood-composite garage door panels require high maintenance because they have to be sealed and painted for protection against environmental elements.
Other garage door panels are made of metal. Aluminum garage door panels are lightweight, but are not suitable for use as retracting overhead garage doors. Garage door panels made of steel are popular for their robustness, strength, and ease of maintenance.
Vinyl garage door panels cost more than the other types of garage door panels, but the long service life and low-maintenance feature they offer make the vinyl door panels appealing. Vinyl garage door panels do not require treatment, priming or painting. They can match any garage design or home exterior. They can also be provided with wooden finishing. These are also durable enough to withstand scratching, denting, chipping, and rusting.

Chain drives are typically the most commonly used and a very reliable type of Motor. This drive runs the garage door on its track by using a metal chain. Chain drives are slightly cheaper than belt drives. Chain drive Motors tend to be noisy, so if your garage is located below or adjacent to the main rooms in your home, you don’t want this Motor. We typically don’t recommend these types of Motors because the small saving isn’t worth it. Liftmaster does not warranty the chain for life like it does the belt on the belt drives and the motor is much noisier.
Belt drives are regarded in the garage door industry as the best type of Motor. Not only are belt drives as reliable as chain drives, but they are also virtually silent. This drive runs on a steel-reinforced belt and typically costs a few dollars more than chain & screw drive Motors. If your garage is attached to your home and has surrounding bedrooms, you’ll never be bothered by the noise of your garage door.
