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 West Linn, 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. Metro area homeowners with attached garages especially benefit from belt drives. Winter storm battery backup is valuable for power outages. Understanding these local conditions helps you plan maintenance and catch problems early.
