Key Elements of a Garage Door
- 1
Panels
The horizontal sections that make up the door and bend at the hinges as it rolls up.
- 2
Tracks
Vertical and horizontal steel rails that guide the door as it opens and closes.
- 3
Rollers
Wheels on each side of the door that travel inside the tracks.
- 4
Hinges
Connect the panels and let the door flex around the curve of the track.
- 5
Torsion Springs
Mounted above the door, they counterbalance its weight so it can be lifted.
- 6
Cables
Steel lift cables connect the bottom of the door to the drums.
- 7
Drums
Grooved spools on the spring shaft that wind and unwind the cables.
- 8
Opener
The motor unit that drives the door through a chain, belt or screw.
- 9
Safety Sensors
Photo-eyes near the floor that stop and reverse the door if something is in the way.
- 10
Weather Seal
The rubber strip along the bottom that keeps out water, dust and drafts.

Request an AppointmentFrequently Asked Questions
+How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?
Common signs include a loud bang from the garage, a door that feels very heavy, lifts only a few inches, or a visible gap in the torsion spring above the door.
+Is it safe to open a garage door with a broken spring?
It is not recommended. Springs carry most of the door's weight, and forcing the door with the opener or by hand can damage parts or cause injury.
+Why does my garage door reverse before it closes?
This is often caused by misaligned or dirty safety sensors near the floor, an obstruction, or an opener force setting that needs adjustment.
+How often should a garage door be serviced?
Many manufacturers suggest a yearly inspection and lubrication of moving parts to keep the door running smoothly.
+Can you repair my existing opener or do I need a new one?
That depends on the age and condition of the unit. A technician can inspect it and explain the repair and replacement options.
