FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my Durham garage door opener keep reversing halfway down the track in winter?

It’s almost always the safety sensors freezing over. Durham’s February humidity condenses on the lens, the beam breaks, and the opener thinks there’s an obstruction. Wipe the sensors with rubbing alcohol monthly and aim them straight across the track—no angle, no snow buildup. If that doesn’t fix it, the down-force spring may be too weak for the cold; we swap it in 20 minutes flat.

How do I know if my Durham garage door cables are about to snap?

Look for frayed strands, kinks, or a cable that’s visibly stretched like a rubber band. In Durham, salt spray from Route 108 accelerates rust, so check every six months—especially if you park a boat or ATV under the door. If you see any of those signs, call us before the cable lets go; a snapped cable can turn a $120 repair into a $600 windshield job.

What’s the real lifespan of a garage door spring in Durham’s climate?

Durham’s freeze-thaw cycles chew through springs in 5–7 years, not the 10–12 you see in Arizona. We replace springs in pairs because they wear evenly, and we torque them to the manufacturer’s spec—not ‘tight enough to feel right.’ If your door feels sluggish or the opener labors, the springs are the first suspect.

Can I still use my Durham garage door if the weatherstripping is cracked?

Yes, but you’re paying to heat (or cool) the outdoors. Durham’s March winds drive snow melt under the door, ruining stored items and jacking up your heating bill. A new vinyl seal costs $25 and takes 15 minutes—cheaper than one month of wasted energy. We carry seals in white, black, and clear so they match your door exactly.

Why does my Wayne-Dalton door in Durham make a grinding noise only when it’s cold?

The nylon rollers harden in sub-zero temps and lose their lubrication. Durham’s January lows drop below 10°F regularly, so we swap the rollers for cold-rated Delrin ones and pack the tracks with lithium grease. The noise stops instantly, and the rollers last twice as long as the stock plastic ones.

How soon after a Durham snowstorm should I check my garage door tracks?

Within 24 hours. Durham’s plows push snow onto driveways, and frozen slush can warp aluminum tracks or pop the door off its rollers. Clear the tracks with a plastic shovel—never metal—and check the sensors for ice buildup. If the door still binds, the tracks may need adjustment; we’re out the same day.

What’s the safest way to test my Durham garage door’s auto-reverse feature?

Place a 2x4 on the floor where the door closes. The door should stop and reverse within two seconds of touching the board. If it doesn’t, the force setting is too high or the sensor is dirty. Durham’s building code requires this test twice a year—spring and fall—and we’ll do it for free during any repair visit.

Why do my Durham garage door hinges squeak louder in summer humidity?

Heat and moisture swell the metal and dry out the factory lubricant. Durham’s July humidity can hit 90%, so we relube the hinges with a high-temp lithium grease that won’t wash out in rain. A single tube of grease costs $3 and saves you a $200 hinge replacement down the road.
