Garage Door Repair La Vista

We recently completed a garage door repair at a home in La Vista, NE. They were having issues with their garage door movement: it was slow, uneven, and would stop in the middle of opening or closing. The client knew they needed a safe and quick solution, so they called us at Titan Garage Doors Lincoln NE. Upon closer inspection, our technician discovered severe damage to the garage door roller hinges. One of the garage door rollers even came off from the tracks.

Our task was clear: replace the damaged parts and restore the door’s alignment and efficiency. Here is how we tackled the repair:

Step 1: Preparation and Safety Measures

Safety comes first when replacing garage door roller hinges. Prior to starting, we disconnected the garage door opener and checked the door’s closure. Then, we release the tension in the springs to prevent sudden door movement during the process.

Step 2: Removing the Old Rollers and Hinges

With the inspection complete, we removed the worn and damaged hinges and the misaligned rollers. One by one, we pulled out each roller hinge, ensuring the door remained balanced. Removing all the rollers and hinges at once would destabilize the door, so we kept the process controlled to maintain safety.

Step 3: Cleaning and Preparing the Tracks

After removing the old hinges and rollers, we focused on cleaning the tracks. Over time, dust, grime, and debris can accumulate in the tracks, causing friction and blocking the door’s movement. This step ensures the new rollers can glide along the tracks with ease, improving the garage door’s operation.

Step 4: Installing the New Roller Hinges

We installed the new roller hinges once we had cleaned and prepared the tracks for use. These galvanized steel hinges are durable, ensuring a smooth and stable operation. Starting from the bottom, we secured each hinge to the panels and attached each roller back onto the track. We worked our way up to the top of the door, securing each roller as we went along.

Step 5: Adjusting and Aligning the Door

With all roller hinges replaced, we focused on aligning the door to sit perfectly in the tracks. A misaligned door can lead to slow, uneven movements and may even cause the rollers to come off the tracks. We made minor adjustments to ensure the door’s alignment was accurate, making sure it opened and closed without any hitch.

Step 6: Test the Door

We tested the garage door several times and checked for uneven movement, delay, or noise. In each cycle, the door moved smoothly along the tracks, so the repairs worked.

Step 7: Final Lubrication and Maintenance Tips

We applied high-quality lube to the tracks, rollers, and the new hinges. This final step reduces friction and helps the parts last longer. We also gave the client some tips on how to maintain the garage door and recommended that they check the hinges and rollers from time to time. This task will prevent future problems and keep the door in top shape.

With the damaged hinges replaced, the client’s garage door was back to its normal operation. At Titan Garage Doors Lincoln NE, we guarantee all our repairs are thorough and of high quality, so our clients are 100% satisfied and confident in their garage doors.
