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 Salem, please keep these important warnings in mind before attempting any work on your garage door system:

The Mid-Willamette Valley region shares the Portland Metro area's rainy winters but experiences slightly warmer summers and more frequent valley fog. Agricultural communities in the region add rural property needs to standard residential service. Mid-Valley moisture can cause spring corrosion. Lubrication and inspection in spring prevent winter failures. 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) 379-0777 when you notice any of these situations:
