Garage Door Notes from Fremont
Plain answers to the garage door questions people in Fremont, Newark and Union City ask. A new note every Wednesday.
-
Why do Glenmoor doors need springs while Ardenwood needs openers? Glenmoor's older tracts wear out springs first, Ardenwood's newer doors wear out openers first, and the difference comes down to build year and cycle count, not luck. -
Why do garage door openers act up more in newer houses than older ones? In a newer Fremont tract like Ardenwood, the opener and its logic board usually fail before the spring does, because the springs have run fewer cycles; in an older district like Glenmoor, the spring and cables wear out first since those doors are twenty years further into their rated cycle count. -
Should You Replace One Garage Door Spring or Both? Replace both springs. The one that didn't break has done the same cycles.
