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.
  • Rollers: Our rollers feature 13 roller bearings for a longer service life and quieter operation. They can last 100,000 cycles compared to the 20,000 cycles of typical 10-bearing rollers.
  • 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 the locks, handles, and hardware
  • Inspecting and adjusting the torsion spring
  • Testing and adjusting the garage door sensors
  • Inspecting the hinges for damage
  • Checking the lift cables for fraying or damage
  • Testing the rollers and bearings
  • Cleaning and inspecting the tracks

Why Trust Balanced Garage Doors To Repair Your Garage Door?

It takes a qualified professional to service garage doors safely. With weights that can exceed hundreds of pounds, garage doors are heavy, and the torsion springs that lift them can store tremendous amounts of energy, leading to serious injuries if a spring snaps or breaks.

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 another company for a quote that was twice the price that balanced garage doors quoted and was told 3-4 weeks. I called Balanced garage doors they came the next day to give me a quote. I was told a technician could come the next day. The technician ended up calling me the same day and told me he could get it done that day. He came and knocked it out by himself. They are fair, professional and fast. Highly recommended.

Our technician, Zack, was phenomenal! He was thorough and professional, direct but not curt when communicating. We needed a new motor for our garage door, which was not the most economically welcomed news, but he gave us three options at different price points. I appreciated that he gave us time to discuss and decided, without pushing us to pick the most expensive or to hurry and not waste his time. I would highly recommend Balanced Garage Doors - they are quick, courteous, and well priced!

I cannot recommend Balanced Garage Doors enough! They were extremely professional in responding to our request. They were proactive in communicating when to expect them, when they were on their way, etc. Dylan could not have been any more courteous, professional, and knowledgeable. He gave clear explanation as to what needed to be done and what the price was. Their prices were much more reasonable than any other garage door company we contacted. The quality of work performed was fantastic.

Submitted an inquiry and within the hour, they already had an appointment scheduled to come out and give me a quote. Dylan came at a time that was convenient for my schedule. He gave me a quote, and I was thinking I’d have to schedule a second appointment for him to come back for the repair. He had all the supplies he needed in the truck and repaired my garage door right then and there! Super easy! Super fast! I am very happy with Balanced Garage Doors!

Balance garage door technician added tension to the tension springs. That solved my immediate problem. He then did a tuneup on the door. Which it needed. The door is smooth and operates very quiet now. I am so happy with this service. I highly recommend balance garage doors for your garage door...

The young man who showed up to help was amazing. He was polite, kind, and understanding of the (complex) situation I found myself in today. He somehow was able to repair my garage door issue the same day. I thought the issue would take multiple visits to the property, but he had many years of industry experience, so it was a same day job to him. I didn't even know my garage door opener had Wi-Fi, the young man even explained how to get that working. I no longer have a security issue - see image - squatters could have crawled under the door. 10/10 will recommend.

Needed our garage door repaired....I like to nudge mine every now and then, so it needed a little tweaking. Scheduled a 8-10am appointment window through text and wasn't quite sure what to expect. So when I received a message ext at 8:27am telling me Zachary (Zach) was on his way..well, that's a good start. Zachary shows up with years of garage door repair experience under his belt and diagnosed the issue within 3 minutes. Once the repairs were approved, Zack went to work and had the job completed in no time! He didn't mind one bit that I sat there and asked him questions throughout the process. He got the job done quickly while being professional. My garage door has never sounded better.... I can barely hear it and the wifi upgrade is definitely a plus. Thank you thank you thank you Balanced Garage Doors and Zachary for an amazing experience. I will definitely reach out to you for future garage door repairs and will refer you to anyone I know!
