How do I know which Garage Door Springs to buy?

Do you know the make of your door?

Yes -- Click on the manufacturer on the left hand side!


No -- If you look on the lock or on the back of the door there maybe a manufacturers label?

If you do not know the make of your garage door please use this PDF Guide to
help identify your springs
- Garage Door Spring Guide  Adobe

If you cannot open the PDF File please download the latest version of Adobe Reader Get Adobe Reader


When ordering springs you first need to know:


  • The make of Garage Door?


  • The length of the spring over the coils?


  • How many coils make up the spring?


  • The diameter - Any colour markings?


  • The width and height of your garage door?



  • How will I know the make of my Garage Door?


  • First look on the Garage Door Lock / Handle for a name, ie Henderson, Hormann, Garador...


  • Look on the inside of the door for any lables ie, Cardale, King, Apex.....


  • Do you have a manufacturers handbook?


  • If you still cannot find the make of your garage door, please email a photo to me
    and I shall try to identify it for you!

    Garage Door Repairs

    In these tough economic times, maintenance and refurbishment makes far more sense than replacement.
    Most improvements or refurbishments on houses and gardens end up costing far more than was originally expected. By trying to do as much of the work yourself within your capabilities is going to help at times like these.
    Garage doors for example are items that if working properly are marvellous and can add to a properties aesthetics and value. We all take for granted the opening and closing of the garage door on a day to day basis, usually with very little though as to any routine maintenance!
    So imagine the horror when the cables, rollers spindles, springs or even the garage door handle breaks and you are left unable to gain access to your car, motorcycle, freezer or garden equipment!
    An old garage door can look shabby and make the whole property look less desirable especially when it comes to selling a property. A well looked after garage door in good decorative order is all part of the external appeal of a house. Routine maintenance of oiling all moving parts can prolong the life of any garage door, especially if near to the coast. (salt erosion)
    The cables and cones or even the garage springs are the main components on garage doors that do tend to need replacing first usually due to wear and tear or damage, if fitted correctly and with routine maintenance there is no reason the running parts should not last average 20 years or more!!
    The cables and springs can often be easily and cost effectively replaced.

    Never try to repair a broken cable or garage door spring!


    Follow the Fitting Instructions - Fitting Instructions Adobe

    Most garage door repairs can be carried out with relative ease, and at the same time saving you money!!

    If changing garage door cables yourself, there are some important points to follow:

    1. Read carefully any Instructions that are available for your door

    2. Always replace both cables/wires at the same time

    3. Always replace both or all garage door springs at the same time!

    4. Make sure that you have the correct tools available to enable you to complete the job

    5. Make sure that you have the correct garage door parts for the repair.

    (If you are replacing the garage door cables, please also check the roller spindles for wear, as this is a good time to also replace them)

    6. Always oil all moving parts.

    How to identify the make of your Garage Door!

    Finding the make of your garage door is important in order to obtain the correct parts.
    This information if not known straight away can be found using the points below:

    1. Firstly look on the garage door handle, this usually gives you the manufacturers name, ie, Henderson, Cardale, Garador etc.

    2. If there is no name on the lock, then look inside the garage, usually on the inside of the garage door there is a manufacturers label, ie, Wessex, Birtley, Bonsack etc

    3. If you still cannot find any name or manufacturers labels on the garage door then you can e-mail a photo to me and I will try to identify it for you!

    All jpeg photos can be sent to: richard@garagedoor-repairs.co.uk

    Alternatively you can send a photo to my Mobile Tel No: 07734 778053. mobile phone

    Please make sure all photos that are sent are:

    Clear and Bright!

    Of the part you are needing! ie, Garage door lock, roller spindles.

    Inside and outside garage door photos help!

    Please reduce size of photo if possible!


    How to identify which Garage Door Springs to purchase!

    If you are unsure as to the make of your garage door springs?
    Please take a look at our: *Garage Door Spring PDF Guide*  Adobe

    Safety


    Safety is always important when carrying out maintenance work yourself. Before attempting to carry out any maintenance or repairs to a garage door it is important to read carefully any Instructions provided for that particular make of door and also to make sure you have all the correct parts and tools necessary to enable you to complete the repairs!
    Remember the springs on garage doors are usually held under a good deal of tension.
    Finally, before any work is attempted on the garage door, the tension on the spring or springs must be isolated or released, only after this has been done can any work be completed in safety.

    Beautiful French Holiday Gite, available to rent in
    Deux Sevres, Poitou Charentes, Bressuire, Moncoutant, France.   
     This Beautiful Holiday Home is where you can enjoy and take advantage all that France has to offer!

    Set in the beautiful and peaceful rolling country side of Deux-Sèvres you are ideally situated to enjoy many of the
    local activities during the day, in the evening simply sit and relax with a glass of wine in the garden whilst listening to the birds singing as the sun goes down.


    The house can comfortably sleep 6 people + 1 baby, the house has two bathrooms, one on the ground floor and one
    on the first floor, it also has a new enclosed swimming pool.

    Our Beautiful French House has recently been fully refurbished to a very high standard to provide all the home comforts, whilst retaining many of the original French features. It is attractively and tastefully decorated, comfortably furnished and very well equipped.

    The gite which has 5 bedrooms in total, but we only let 3 bedrooms so to allow for a comfortable holiday.
    The gite comprises of the kitchen / dining room, complete with fridge/freezer, dish washer, micro-wave, gas hob, oven, and extractor fan, high chair, travel cot, and all utensils for cooking.

    There are 2 double bedrooms and 1 bathroom downstairs, the bathroom includes both a bath and shower and upstairs there is a twin bedroom and the second bathroom with a bath and shower.

    The house is south facing so you have the sun all day, if it gets too hot then we have plenty of parasols and trees to sit under.
    The very well maintained garden is very private, peaceful except for the sound of birds singing. We get several different species of wild birds visiting the garden all day, such as Blue Tits, Great Tits, Thrushes, Woodpeckers and the occasional Owl.

    The private swimming pool is secure and fenced off providing peace of mind for parents.

    It is a joy to sit outside on a summers evening after a day adventuring whilst drinking a glass or two of red wine, whilst the sun goes down.

    Outside
    You can also enjoy a game of Boules on our French Boules Pitch, the games room has a pool table, table football, a darts board and a selection of other games.
