Springs & Hardware
Garage doors with extension springs need pulleys and safety cables in good condition. Worn pulleys chew through cables, and missing safety cables are a hazard. We renew these parts alongside the springs whenever we work on that style of door.

Track straightness and roller clearance
The vertical tracks are checked for plumb and the horizontal tracks for level and for sag at the rear hangers. The technician sights along each track for dents, spread or pinched edges, rust scale and the debris that collects in the bottom few inches. Clearance matters too: a wheel should turn freely with a little side play, neither squeezed by a track pulled too close to the door nor so loose that the door can lean.
Where the track has drifted, the jamb brackets are adjusted before new rollers go in, because fitting fresh wheels to a crooked track simply wears them the same way the old ones went.
