Quality Garage Door Parts

At Balanced Garage Doors, we strive to offer our customers the best parts available for reliable, long-term garage door performance and quality repairs you can count on.

Our parts are carefully curated to provide longer service and better performance than competing products, including these components:

  • Garage door springs: Our torsion springs are designed to withstand 20,000 cycles before failure, compared to the typical 10,000 cycles of lesser models.

  • Lift cables: Our cables are made from aircraft-grade galvanized steel with 19 wires per strand and seven strands per cable for long service life, impressive durability, and enhanced corrosion resistance.
  • Hinges: We feature heavy-duty 11- and 14-gauge hinges for greater strength and durability compared to the standard 16-gauge alternatives.

Routine Garage Door Maintenance

Routine maintenance can go a long way toward maximizing the service life of your garage door, preventing parts failures, and avoiding operational issues.

We offer garage door maintenance. A typical service visit will include:

  • A complete garage door inspection

  • Testing and adjusting the garage door sensors
  • Inspecting the hinges for damage
  • Checking the lift cables for fraying or damage

Why Trust Balanced Garage Doors To Repair Your Garage Door?

At Balanced Garage Doors, we have the experience and equipment to repair your garage door safely, and we offer fast, affordable services throughout northern Georgia. With our quality parts and top-notch work, you can count on us for all your garage door needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Repair My Own Garage Door?

Your time is worth something, and you'll spend much more time repairing your garage door than we will. We have the right tools. If you try to do the work yourself, you're also likely to void the manufacturer's warranty. In the end, it's not worth it. The best home DIYers (do-it-yourselfers) know when to call a professional

Can I Replace A Section Of My Garage Door, Or Do I Need To Replace The Whole Door?

It depends on the damage. If one panel is damaged, a one-panel replacement may work. But if the hinges or springs are damaged, partial replacement is tricky. Let Balanced Garage Doors assess your garage door repair.

FYI: Garage door replacement increases your property value and curb appeal. You could see as much as a 93.8% ROI (return on investment) when you sell your home.

What Causes A Garage Door To Break?

Undamaged garage doors usually last 15-30 years, depending on garage door maintenance. Your garage door can break due to:

  • Age
  • Broken or worn-out cables, hardware (bolts, etc.), hinges, rollers, or springs
  • Track misalignment
Why Does My Garage Door Open/Close On Its Own?

It could be a circuit board short, damaged wiring, or incorrect settings. It might be a radio frequency or wireless signal problem with your garage door remote controls. Do you have debris close to the door?

Garage doors have a safety feature that prevents them from closing if they sense any obstacles. If the sensor is dirty or damaged, it could be the cause of opening/closing erratically.

I called to schedule an appointment, and they were able to accommodate me the very next day. They sent a text with the appointment time frame, and on the day of the service, they sent another message to let me know they were on their way. Spencer, the technician, was very polite and knowledgeable about the industry. He is a great asset to the company and completed the installation of the new garage opener within the specified time frame. I highly recommend Spencer to anyone. If you have any garage door issues, Balanced Garage Doors should be your go-to place. They deserve ten stars instead of just five!

I contacted Balanced Garage Doors last night and was impressed to receive both a phone call and a text early this morning to coordinate appointment times. They kept me updated and let me know when Mike was on his way. He arrived promptly, was friendly and easy to talk to, and took the time to walk us through our options. Mike had most of the necessary parts on his truck and explained that occasionally some items need to be ordered. He completed the work efficiently and did an excellent job. Highly recommend!
