Residential sectional doors of every common construction: steel, insulated steel, aluminum and glass, wood and composite, single and double width, with torsion springs above the header or extension springs beside the horizontal tracks. Openers of all the usual types are covered too, including chain drive, belt drive, screw drive and wall-mounted jackshaft units. If the door is a one-piece tilt-up or a commercial rolling door, mention that when booking so the right hardware comes along.
Track alignment
Tightening track bolts is included. A track that has been pulled out of line or dented by a vehicle needs straightening or a section replaced, and that is quoted as its own repair.
Torsion or extension springs
Torsion springs above the header and extension springs beside the tracks are inspected differently, and extension systems have pulleys and safety cables that add items to the checklist.
Time since the last service
A door serviced last year needs a lighter touch than one that has never been looked at, where every fastener may want attention and the sensors and limits are far from where they should be.
