Garage Door Safety Inspection
On bright afternoons the door goes down a metre, stops, and climbs back up while the light on the opener blinks. After dark it closes perfectly. Nothing has changed except the weather.

2021 census · what it means at the door
23%Newer homes
About 23% of homes in Brampton were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
Openers in newer homes usually already have photo-eyes and rolling-code remotes, so the common work is settings rather than upgrades: adjusting force and travel limits, replacing a worn gear or logic board, and adding a keypad, a second remote or a phone controller.
53%
Single-detached houses make up about 53% of homes in Brampton (2021 Census).
In a neighbourhood with both detached and attached homes, some customers decide alone and others report to a board or property manager. We adapt the visit accordingly, giving a homeowner options at the door and a manager a written summary they can circulate.

What people ask us
What is the board test?
It is the contact-reversal check. A short length of 2x4 lies flat on the floor in the middle of the opening and the door is closed from the wall button. When the bottom edge meets the wood, the door should halt and travel back up without help. Passing shows the opener's down-force and travel limits are set to back off from something solid. The technician never substitutes a hand or foot for the board.
Can the seal be replaced in the middle of winter?
Yes, and winter is when most people notice they need one. Vinyl is stiffer in the cold, so the technician keeps the new roll warm until it is fed and takes a little longer working it across the channels. A seal frozen to the floor is freed by hand first. The door is then closed onto the new strip and the opener reset exactly as in summer, and the garage is sealed for the rest of the season.
Can a spring be adjusted rather than replaced?
A spring that is intact but has relaxed slightly can be given a little more tension, within limits, to restore balance; this is a normal adjustment on a door that has settled. A spring with a broken coil is replaced as a unit, since the wire has reached the end of its life. The technician checks the condition of the steel and recommends whichever restores a balanced, safe door.
How is door balance tested?
With the door closed, the opener is released so the door is free. It is lifted by hand to about a metre, then to fully open, and let go at each point. A door in balance holds its position; one that rises on its own is over-tensioned and one that drops is under-tensioned. The door should also move freely and no faster than the hand pushing it.
Should I use the slide lock on the door with a chain drive?
No. The manual slide lock on the door is disabled or removed once an operator is connected, and the technician checks that during the repair. A motor pulling against a locked door strains the chain, strips the drive gear and can bend the top section of the door. If you want the door secured against remotes, the lock button on the wall control switches them off, and a track lock designed to work with an operator does the rest.
