Tightening a Garage Door Spring

Comments Off

We’ve all seen those pesky infomercials depicting a clumsy handyman then cutting to a clip of an easily avoidable accident. Sure they might look cheesy but DIY repair work and unsafe home remedies are a common source of injuries in and around your home. Specifically, issues with a faulty garage door or improperly adjusted door springs may result in dangerous conditions that should be avoided at all costs.

At A-Authentic Garage Door Service, we never recommend tightening a garage door spring without the proper training and tools. That’s why all of our garage door spring repairs are serviced by a trained and licensed technician.

Today there are two types of torsion springs, Oil tempered and Galvanized. We use Oil tempered which provide you trouble free service for years to come.

Still unsure of the difference? Professional Door Dealer has the scoop:

Galvanizing is the process of applying/ bonding a zinc coating to the surface of the wire. In the case of galvanized wire for garage door springs, the galvanizing process is done prior to drawing. You may have heard the term “drawn after galvanizing” or DAG. This is the process currently used to manufacture galvanized spring wire for garage doors. Sivaco offers a “lead-patented” hard drawn galvanized wire. It is this process, according to a Sivaco representative, that gives GHD its “superior” performance characteristics for garage door torsion springs.

Oil tempering is an additional step in the process after the wire is drawn in which oil is used to heat-treat the wire to give it certain properties. The wire is heated to a very high temperature—in excess of 1500 degrees Fahrenheit—then cooled rapidly or quenched using oil, and then reheated again to a very high temperature. This process is intended for wire used in springs “that are subjected to static loads or relatively infrequent stress applications,” according to ASTM. This is meant to distinguish garage door spring applications with relatively low cycles from valve spring wire for automotive applications, which are very highstress, high-cycle springs for example.

Customize your Garage to Fit your Lifestyle

Comments Off

Just because your garage is where you keep your car, this space can also be an extension of your home which serves to fit your specific needs. What the extra space in a garage can be used for does not just depend on whether you are a man or a woman, but rather it can reflect the interests of the individual.

When we think of a things that we store in a garage, tools typically come to mind. With the right tool boxes and garage wall organizers, keeping a set (or two) of tools in the garage makes it an organized and efficient work space.

Many times, people who have a garage choose not to use it for shelter for their car, but rather the space to fulfill their hobbies or profession. Painters, drawers and artists of all kinds use their garage as the perfect at-home studio to express themselves without the fear of having to clean up a big mess like they would inside their house.

How to Organize Your Garage - A-Authentic Garage Door Repair

Image via garagehomesusa.com

At A-Authentic Arizona Garage Door Repair, we understand the variety of items that people may collect and keep in their garage. Clutter can consume your garage whether it’s from gardening tools, power tools, bicycles  holiday decorations or even lawn furniture. Sometimes this can be overwhelming and may even prevent you from having room for your car, which is why we provide several solutions.

1. Clean out your garage. This sounds like a simple task, but some may find that after cleaning their basement our rooms in their house most things tend to end up in their garage. Try to organize tools that are out of place, throw away any materials or products in your garage that you never use and dust and sleep all of your garage.

2. Paint your garage. With a new fresh coat of paint, your garage can not only give it a new look but it can make it a more enjoyable place to be. Many people prefer a lighter, cooler tone such as white, grey or even a nice shade of blue.

3. Enhance garage lighting. This will enable you to have a better view of your garage at a very low cost.

4. Polished Concrete. When you take care of the floor of your garage it can change the whole atmosphere. A polished concrete floor can keep down dust, repel water and oil and prevents any chipping or dents.

5. Installing cabinets or drawers. Usually tools and materials are left out in the open in garages, however by simply installing a few cabinets your garage will look much cleaner and more refined.
