Door trouble guides
What to check, what the symptom means, and when to stop and call. Written for the driveway, not the search engine.
The overhead door in a dusty plant
A door in a furniture plant or a cabinet shop runs through the same air the saws and the foam cutters fill. That air gets into the grease, the guides and the safety eyes, and it changes what goes wrong first.
The spring broke, and the opener kept getting pressed
Nobody knew it was the spring at first, so the button got pressed again, and maybe again. The spring is the repair. What the door did on those extra presses decides what else comes with it.
Fiberglass garage door repair, read off the face of the door
A fiberglass or faux-wood door rarely quits at the springs first. It wears out at the skin, and what the skin is doing decides whether the fix is a refinish, a repair or a new door.
Locked out by the garage door
In a lot of Tupelo houses the garage is the front door in practice. When it stays shut, the problem is getting into the house, and you are working it from the wrong side.
The commercial overhead door that sits
Plenty of the big doors around Lee County barely move. The church activity building opens for a supper or a wedding, the equipment shed door runs hard for a few weeks and then waits out the season, and nobody thinks about either until the morning it has to go up.
Two single garage doors, one broken spring
A two-car garage with two one-car doors has two separate spring systems above it. When one of them lets go, the question that follows is about the door next to it.
New opener cost, and what the garage adds
Two houses on the same street, the same opener, two different numbers. The spread lives in the ceiling the unit has to hang from, the height of the door under it, and whether that door is fit to carry a new motor at all.
What a damaged garage door panel lets in
A hit section gets judged from the street, where it looks like an appearance problem. The useful look is from inside with the door down, because the door is a wall of the house and the question is what that wall is letting through now.
Garage door off track
From the driveway it looks like one problem. Up close there are three of them, they do not cost the same to fix, and where the wheels left the channel says which one you are looking at.
Insulated garage doors and a sweating Tupelo garage
Water shows up on the slab in March with no rain in the forecast. That is humid air giving up its water on the coolest surfaces it can find, and in most Tupelo garages the door is one of them.
Garage door maintenance for storm season
The maintenance schedule in the manual was written for somewhere calmer. Around Tupelo the door gets checked twice, in March before the worst of the severe season and in September after a humid summer has worked on the steel.
Garage door opener not working
An opener is a short electrical story: power comes in, a signal arrives, a motor turns. Find which chapter stopped.
Garage door won't close
Around here, the first diagnostic question for a door that will not close is not what broke. It is what month it is.
Garage door won't open
You do not need tools to diagnose a stuck door. You need to know the four places to look, and what wrong looks like at each one.
