This is a problem that should be addressed soon — a loose chain can skip on the sprocket, causing the door to stop mid-travel or drop.

Garage door systems involve heavy components under significant mechanical tension. A standard residential garage door weighs between 150 and 400 pounds, and the springs that counterbalance that weight store a tremendous amount of energy. For the safety of you and your family in Oregon City, please keep these important warnings in mind before attempting any work on your garage door system:

The Portland Metro area's Pacific Northwest climate features mild temperatures, heavy rainfall from October through May, and occasional summer heat waves. This combination of moisture, temperature swings, and seasonal extremes creates specific challenges for garage door systems. Chain drives may become louder in cold wet weather as metal contracts. Lubricate before winter for quieter operation. Understanding these local conditions helps you plan maintenance and catch problems early.

While basic maintenance like lubrication and sensor cleaning can be done by homeowners, many garage door issues require professional service for safety and effectiveness. Call D&L at (503) 704-2654 when you notice any of these situations:
