Broken Garage Door Spring Repair
The wear and tear of temperature fluctuations, improper maintenance, or adjustment can cause garage door springs to break.

The opening of the door is covered by tension springs. These springs slide onto a metal bar. The door’s opening can also be served by extension springs.

Garage Door Sensor Repair & Alignment
Your opener’s sensors must be in good working order, or chances are, your garage door won’t work properly. They are interdependent. The opener and garage door sensors work together and often there may be an issue either with one or maybe even both.
These garage door sensors are safety devices included in almost every garage. The devices are usually mounted six inches above the ground. Their primary function is to prevent garage doors from closing on people, especially children or pets by accident.
You can test the functionality of your sensor by putting an object in front of it like a roll of paper towels. If it fails to stop easily before it crushes the object, we might recommend making an appointment with Schaefer Door Company.
The detectors may become out of line and the door will not close even if there is something in its way. Your garage door can stop mid-operation if it has electrical problems. These malfunctions can be anything from minor inconveniences to major safety issues. It is highly advised to get a professional to examine it immediately due to the potential danger involved.
The garage door sensor, infrared beam, and other issues will be thoroughly examined by our authorized professionals. The safety sensor wiring will be checked for possible problems. If necessary, they will repair or replace your sensors. After servicing your garage door, you will be able to close it properly. The problem is usually found using our troubleshooting process. A photoelectric eye, like the one on most garage door sensors, can be damaged by a blunt force trauma or by a humid environment. Sometimes, the problem is caused by minor obstacles that prevent the sensor from operating properly. Other problems can be more serious, such as electrical issues caused by ragged or improper wiring.

Garage Door Roller Replacement
The garage door rollers can be the most vulnerable part of a garage door. Schaefer Door Company offers garage door repair services for the St. Charles area to fix damaged or broken rollers.
Because of their constant usage, garage door rollers often break or be the first thing to go after installing a new door. While they are designed to last for a few years, they may break sooner than expected. This can lead to your garage door moving off its tracks. The garage door’s rollers and pins can break when it is moving. This is dangerous because the door may be in motion. Keep an eye out for broken pins or rollers every month, and replace them as soon as possible.
A roller and pin are used to secure each garage door panel to the tracks. They guide it to open or close. A broken or damaged pin can weaken even further if you often keep your garage door open. If a panel of doors isn’t properly attached to the track, it can cause additional strain to the operator. This could lead to further damage to other components of your garage door system. Additional weight could also affect the pins or rollers.
Professional garage door technicians will assess the state of your pins and rollers. They can advise you on whether to replace them or wait for them to break down. A professional garage door repairman will be able to explain to homeowners why their pins and rollers need to be replaced. Before agreeing on any repairs, homeowners should ask technicians about the problem.
