Garage door torsion drums are under extreme pressure. If you are not a trained professional we do not recommend working on your garage door system. You must complete our disclaimer in order to purchase items under tension.
On larger garage doors torsion spring systems are almost always used. Torsion systems are very dangerous if you do not know what you are doing. Torsion springs are installed on a torsion tube. The torsion tube is held in place with three bearing plates. One center bearing plate and two end bearing plates. Some larger garage doors may have addition center torsion plate brackets.
There are reasons for end bearing plate brackets to be replaced.
End bearing plates have to be installed correctly or they will bind on the torsion tube. When an end bearing plate binds on the torsion tube it puts your garage door at risk of complete failure.
End bearing plates that are not installed correctly can cause your garage door to fall off the tracks and in some cases rip/break/tear/sheer the garage door torsion tube completely.
If a garage door torsion tube is sheared or if your cables come off the garage door drums the garage door will be completely inoperable.
End bearing plates should be tied into at least two points.
End bearing plates have a life expectancy of 20,000 garage door cycles. That's about 15 years for most home owners.
If end bearings are installed correctly and the garage door is serviced regularly end bearing plates can last a long time. However, they do have a shelf life.
If the garage door is used more than twice a day, and the end bearing plates are not serviced then even if they are installed correctly they can seize up and bind the torsion tube.
This binding puts your garage door at risk for complete failure.
Failure to maintain your garage door end bearing plates makes it impossible to predict age and life expectancy. Failure can happen in as little as one year if not serviced and maintained as directed in owners manuals. Your garage door is at risk of complete failure.
2 cycles a day x 365 days a year = 730 cycles a year
20,000 cycles divided by 730 cycles a year = 20.547 years.
If a cable comes off the drum, do not try to fix it yourself. We can fix this problem for very little more than a door service $98.00. Therefore, let a garage door pro do the work. Garage door off track situations above stage 5 are almost always caused by the home owner trying to fix the garage door problem themselves.
How do customers prevent a garage door off track condition? Garage door service and regular maintenance can prevent garage doors from coming “off track. Garage doors service and garage door inspection should be done twice a year according to most manufactures. A professional garage door service should be done any time
Garage door openers are built with sensitivity settings that are designed to alert you of potential problems. Older openers made it really easy to adjust the garage door opener “force” settings.
The opener force settings should never be turned up in order to overcome a problem with the garage door that should be resolved with a garage door service or repair, but home owners and un- professional garage door technicians alike used the force settings as a quick fix to cover up a bigger problems.
Ultimately putting the entire garage door system at risk for severe failure such as a garage door off track situation.
New garage door openers have addressed this problem. While still easy to adjust the settings in the opener when needed it is harder than just a thoughtless turn of a screw driver.
Garage door and garage door opener manufacturing companies recommend professional garage door and opener service at least once a year.
If you have an opener that is older than 10 years a new opener could be a good idea to remove the risk associated with older openers that have not been serviced regularly or properly.
