Re-Alignment and Balancing
When your door is heavy on one side, won't stay open, or runs off-track — that's a balance problem.
02What you get
An unbalanced door wears out springs, cables, opener motors, and rollers prematurely. Our technicians measure the door's actual weight, adjust the spring tension to match, and verify smooth, balanced travel before they leave.
- 01Spring tension measurement and adjustment
- 02Track re-alignment (bolt-and-bracket level)
- 03Hardware tightening and torque verification
- 04Opener limit-switch recalibration
- 05Full safety reverse and photo-eye test
03When you need this
Signs to call us.
- Door drops faster than it lifts (spring tension too low)
- Door slams shut at the bottom of the cycle
- Manual lift feels heavy on one side, light on the other
- Opener works hard or stalls partway through the cycle
04What we see
Common failure
modes.
01
Spring tension shifted out of spec
Springs lose tension over thousands of cycles. Rebalancing extends spring life and prevents opener motor burn-out.
02
Track bracket loosened over time
Vibration walks lag bolts loose. Re-anchoring at the right torque keeps the door tracking straight.
03
Limit switches drifted on the opener
We recalibrate open/close limits at every visit so the door doesn't crash at the floor or hesitate at the top.
