Springs & Hardware
Winding a torsion spring is not a job for a ladder and a screwdriver. It takes proper bars, a secured door and a technician who knows how many turns the door wants. That is the work described in this group.
Which one do I need?
- A roller near the top corner is riding on the lip of the track rather than inside it, and the section above leans back a little more each week.Garage Door Roller Replacement

The hardware the rollers live in
A roller is only as good as the bracket that holds it. The technician inspects every hinge for cracks at the knuckle, elongated holes and loose or missing fasteners, checks that the top fixtures still adjust and hold their setting, and looks over the bottom brackets for rust, deformation and the condition of the cable attachment. Jamb brackets and the flag brackets at the top of the vertical track are checked for movement.
A door moves more than a thousand times a year and that vibration loosens bolts, so a hinge that has been working loose is often the reason a wheel wore crooked, and it is refastened or replaced as part of the same visit.
