Behind every door that lifts easily there is a spring doing most of the work. When it breaks, the door becomes dead weight. This group covers replacing torsion and extension springs and the cables, drums, bearings and hinges that share the load.
Part 1The panels
You misjudged the last metre of the driveway and felt the bumper meet the door. The bottom section now carries a crease across most of its width.
Part 2The springs
Nothing broke outright, but the door has grown heavier each winter, opens more slowly and squeals as it moves. The springs on an older door have lost tension and the coils show pitting, so the system is asking for attention before it fails.
Part 3The cables
The door went up as usual this morning, then stopped a third of the way with one corner higher than the other. It is wedged at an angle in the opening, the opener is humming, and nothing you press will move it.
Part 4Tracks and rollers
The door is the one the builder installed and has never had a part changed. It works, but it clatters, the wheels are hard white plastic with no bearings in them, and the opener sounds like it is labouring more each season.
Part 5The opener
It is a January morning and the door lifts about a hand's width, groans, and settles back down. When you pull the release and try by hand the door feels far heavier than it used to, and the bottom seal is stuck hard to the slab.
Garage Door Safety Inspection. During the power outage you pulled the red cord and tried to lift the door by hand.

For an attached or heated garage the comfort benefit to the house is added on top. The technician may suggest a simpler fin replacement for a detached shell and a one-piece stop where the garage is lived beside.
Many households do without one. With the trolley engaged, an opener holds the door shut, and most wall consoles include a lock-out button that disables every remote while you are away. A manual lock earns its place for power outages, for a detached garage without an opener, and for anyone who likes a physical bar in the track. The technician can set the door up either way.
Industry guidance suggests a monthly visual and listening check by the homeowner, with the door closed and then in motion, and a yearly visit from a trained door systems technician who goes over springs, cables, rollers, hinges, track, balance and the opener's safety functions. Rollers themselves are worth a look twice a year, and they belong on the list whenever springs or cables are being replaced. A door used many times a day earns more frequent attention.
Each corner of the door is held by its own cable. When one cable stretches, slips its drum or breaks, that corner loses its lift and drops while the other stays up, so the door tips and usually wedges against the track. Setting both cables to the same length and tension is part of every cable replacement, and it is what brings the door back level.
