Garage Doors in ThorncliffeThe bang you heard
at seven this morning.
A torsion spring letting go sounds like something fell in the garage, and then the door refuses to lift. If that happened in Thorncliffe today, we bring the matching spring, replace it as a pair when the door has two, check the cables and bearings beside it, and rebalance the door before we leave. We serve East York as well.

A garage door is heavy and the springs carry real force, so the work in Thorncliffe is done the careful way: door clamped, tension released with proper bars, parts measured before they are matched, and the door run through complete cycles afterwards. Careful is not slow; it is simply how a heavy door should be treated.

2021 census: what it means at the door
Every square is one home in a hundred.
- 58 in 100 homes · older homes
- 23 in 100 homes · mostly attached
- About 58% of homes in Toronto were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.Wood door frames in an older house settle and swell over the decades, which can leave a door rubbing on one side. Rather than forcing the opener, the technician trues the tracks, adjusts the jamb seals and sets the door so it travels freely again.
- Single-detached houses make up about 23% of homes in Toronto (2021 Census).Where most homes are townhouses, condos or apartments, garage doors are often shared: a single overhead door or gate serving an underground or common garage. Those doors run on commercial operators built for constant use, and their upkeep is usually arranged through the building's management.
Frequently asked questions
What information helps when I call to book?
Whether the door is single or double and roughly how tall; whether there is a spring on a shaft above the opening or springs along the tracks; the opener make if you can see it; how many doors need looking at; what prompted the call and when it began; and whether anything happened to the door lately. A photo of the opener label and of the spring area is a useful extra.
Does a new section bring back the door's original strength?
A section ordered to the same specification carries the same steel gauge, core and reinforcement as the original, and it is fitted with sound hinges, new fasteners and, where the design calls for it, a strut. Combined with the alignment and balance work done at the same time, the door returns to operating the way its manufacturer designed it to. Where an original section had bowed for want of a strut, adding one leaves that part stiffer than before.
My key will not turn in the cold. What is happening?
Meltwater has run down the door face into the keyway during a thaw and frozen overnight, or cold has stiffened old lubricant inside the cylinder. Lock de-icer or gentle warmth frees it; hot water is avoided because it refreezes and can crack cold metal. Afterwards the cylinder is dried and given a dry graphite or PTFE lubricant that sheds moisture instead of trapping it.
Do nylon rollers need lubricating?
The nylon tire itself needs none; spraying it or the track only collects dust that grinds the wheel. The hinge knuckles and stems where they turn benefit from a light coat of garage door lubricant once or twice a year, worked in by running the door. The ball bearings themselves are lubricated only where the roller's own maker calls for it, since some nylon rollers should not be greased there. Rollers with sealed bearings come greased from the factory and need only a wipe and a look.
