Garage Door Technician in Renton, WA

Your garage door technician in Renton

Renton Garage Door Co is a local garage door technician based in Renton, WA. We are licensed for garage door repair in Washington and the service areas we cover.

Renton is home to about 105,279 residents and around 43,066 housing units, and roughly 55% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. The median home here was built in 1989, which puts it at about 37 years old, so a lot of local doors, springs, and openers are reaching the age where parts wear out.

What we fix in Renton

Your garage door is probably the largest moving part in your home and is typically used every day, so when something goes wrong you notice fast. We handle three core repairs:

• Broken springs. Garage door counterbalance springs are under high tension, and a spring that breaks can cause injury, so this is pro-only work handled through our garage door spring repair service.
• Opener problems. Federal rules require residential openers to have an automatic reversing system, plus a secondary entrapment-protection device such as a photoelectric electric eye added in 1993, and if an electric eye is used it should sit 4 to 6 inches above the floor; our garage door opener repair service covers this.
• Off-track or unbalanced doors. A properly operating door is balanced and stays in place when stopped in any partly open position; a severely unbalanced door can unexpectedly crash to the floor and strike someone underneath, so our garage door repair service gets it running true again.

A few safety basics worth knowing

If a door binds, sticks, or will not balance, it should be serviced by a professional, and spring systems are dangerous enough that DASMA says they should be repaired only by trained professionals.

One thing you can safely check yourself is the opener's auto-reverse: lay a 2x4 flat on the floor in the door's path, and if the door does not reverse when it strikes the board, disengage the opener until it is adjusted, repaired, or replaced.
