The Right Garage Door Spare Parts

07/22/2014 Back To Blog

Even the best garage door parts can get worn-out and damaged. In such cases, immediate replacement is required. But how do you know which spare parts are right for your particular door. Use some important criteria which will help you to make the right decision.

Making a Choice

The length and width of the new parts have to match those of the original ones. This is especially true when it comes to broken garage door cable replacement and track replacement. Similarly, the garage door rollers have to be of the same size as the original ones. Thankfully, most doors use either 2-inch or 4-inch rollers so finding proper replacement ones should be easy and quick. Needless to say, the design and style of the new parts have to be the same as well. It is possible to deviate from the original when you consider these requirements, but you have to ensure perfect compatibility between the old and the new parts.

You must always check the thickness of the spare parts. This is particularly important in the case of torsion and extension springs for garage doors. You have to ensure that you will get a spare cable of the same thickness as the original one as well. When it comes to tracks, you could actually benefit from the installation of thicker ones since they will be stronger and less prone to bending. Of course, you have to ensure that they will fit.

The make is always extremely important. The new parts have to be made from galvanized steel. It has special coating which prevents the parts from rusting. That way, they have a longer useful life and require less maintenance.

Finally, you have to know that the brand always matters. It may be more efficient and more cost-efficient to buy replacement items from the manufacturer of the door. Alternatively, you can go for the products of a leading brand with excellent reputation such as Stanley.
