Garage Door Repair vs. Replacement: The Eternal Debate

Ever stood in your driveway, coffee in hand, staring at your rebellious garage door and wondering, can this thing be saved? We get it. Sometimes it’s a simple fix, other times, you’re basically nursing a dinosaur. Here’s the lowdown:

When to Repair:

• Squeaks, groans, or slow movements: A tune up or lubrication might be all it needs.

• Minor dents or misaligned tracks: These are often repairable no need for a full funeral.

• Opener acting up: Maybe it’s just a sensor issue or a dead battery in the remote. 

When to Replace:

• Your door is old.

• Multiple panels are damaged.

• Energy bills are going up.

Garage Door Springs and Cables

When it comes to your garage door, the real components are the springs and cables. These hardworking components lift and lower hundreds of pounds of weight every single day quietly doing their job behind the scenes. But when one breaks? It’s not just inconvenient it’s sudden, loud, and often dangerous.

If your garage door springs or cables snap, you’ll know it and you’ll want to act fast. Not only can a broken spring or cable stop your door from working properly, but it can also pose serious safety risks if not handled by a professional.

• Garage door spring adjustment or replacement is not a DIY project. (Unless you’ve got a death wish and a YouTube tutorial queued up.)

• Garage door cable replacement is equally critical frayed cables can drop the door unexpectedly.

Pro tip: If your door feels heavier than your last Amazon package, call us. Atlanta Garage Doors handles these repairs daily, and we’d rather you keep all your fingers.

Confession time: When’s the last time you gave your garage door a tune up? If you’re drawing a blank, join the club. Most folks remember maintenance only after something breaks. But a little love can prevent 90% of emergencies:
