Plenty of garages in Severn are workshops first and parking second. Dust, sawdust and frequent openings are hard on rollers and photo-eyes, so we fit sealed bearings, protect the sensors, and set the opener for the extra cycles, so the door keeps pace with whatever you are building inside. Nearby, we also work in Burnside and Mount Stephen.

The emergency release is the red cord that lets you open the door by hand when the power is out. If it sticks, has been pulled and will not re-engage, or is missing, this is the group that puts it right.
New Doors
Choosing colour and panel style is easier with real samples and a photo of your house. We bring both to the conversation, and we can show how a design looks against your brick, siding or stone before you decide.
Severn
We are careful about what we recommend in Severn. If a tune-up will do, that is what we suggest. If a spring is the problem, we replace the spring and check its partner. If the door is beyond repair, we say so plainly. Every recommendation is one you can watch us justify at the door.

2021 census · what it means at the door
46%Homes of every age
About 46% of homes in Severn were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
A mixed housing stock means some doors are on their original openers without photo-eyes while others have modern units with apps and keypads. We handle both: upgrading the older ones for safety and quietness and adjusting or expanding the newer ones as the household grows.
90%Mostly houses
Single-detached houses make up about 90% of homes in Severn (2021 Census).
Detached houses commonly have attached two-car garages with a wide double door, which is a heavy door on a pair of torsion springs. Spring and cable work on these doors is done as a matched set so the door lifts level and the opener carries only its intended load.

Garage Door Tune-Up
You moved in a few months ago and have no idea when the garage door was last looked at. The previous owners left the remotes on the counter and no paperwork, and the door works, but it works loudly and unevenly.
Garage Door Tune-UpSalt carried in on tires and shovelled snow settles on the lowest hardware: the bottom brackets, the lower track, the bottom roller stems and fixture bolts. Those are the parts that carry the door's weight, so corrosion there matters. Rinsing the lower hardware and the inside face of the bottom section after winter, keeping the floor by the tracks swept, and having the bottom brackets looked at each spring keeps salt from becoming a structural problem.
The bottom section is where the lift cables attach, through the bottom brackets at each end, and those cables are under the full pull of the springs. Before the brackets come off, the springs have to be unwound or unhooked so the cables go slack. The bottom section also carries the seal retainer and astragal that meet the floor. After the new section is in, the springs are re-tensioned and the balance reset.
Often, yes. The cylinder in a T-handle is a small pin-tumbler lock, and if it shares a keyway with your house locks it can be pinned to the same combination. Where the keyways differ, a compatible cylinder can usually be fitted to the handle so the match is possible. Bring a house key to the visit and the technician will tell you on the spot.
Yes, and it is one of the main reasons to replace them before they fail. A wheel worn oval, a bent stem, or a short stem sitting loose in a double hinge lets a section drift until the wheel climbs onto the track lip; from there a bump or a gust can carry it out entirely. A door hanging crooked is a far larger repair than a set of rollers. Fresh, correctly sized rollers seated in a squared track are what keep the door where it belongs.
A tension and limit adjustment with the reversal tests is generally a short visit. Replacing a gear and sprocket assembly or fitting a new chain, phasing it, tensioning and re-setting the limits takes longer, usually a good part of a morning or afternoon. If the balance check shows spring or roller work is needed first, or a part for an older model has to be ordered, the technician will say so and plan a second visit.
