Forest Lake-area Garage Door Company Educates Community about Door Parts

FOREST LAKE, Minn. - Aug. 1, 2014 - PRLog -- Premium Garage Door Service, Forest Lake garage door company, wants to educate the public about some of the different components of garage doors.

When your garage door isn't working properly, it could be any number of things. Some issues are easy to spot, but others are not.

Premium Garage Door Service provides some easy-to-use information about the workings of your garage door. That way, when it isn't working properly, you have a better chance of diagnosing the problem. Whenever you are having garage door issues, it's best to leave it up to the professionals.

The garage door opener has a motor that is responsible for providing the power to open and close the door. If it is not working properly, you will get no response when you try to open the garage doors. Garage door opener issues are usually easy to fix.

Garage door springs come in many different shapes and sizes. There are two major types of springs: extension and torsion. They provide support to the garage door opener by providing counterweight as the door opens and closes.

"If you have a broken garage door spring, repairing it is best left to a professional," said Steve Jacobsen, owner of Premium Garage Door Service. "There is an extreme amount of pressure on the springs, which can cause injury if not released properly."

Cables are another crucial part of a properly functioning garage door. They help to physically lift the door, so it's not left up to the motor of the garage door opener. If these are broken, you may hear the motor whirring, but nothing happens in response. If you are experiencing this issue, your cables may need to be replaced.

With the hope of educating and informing current and potential customers about garage door parts and what purpose they serve, there is a more detailed description of openers, springs and cables on Premium Garage Door Service's website.
