Beloit's weather writes the maintenance schedule. With a high, dry climate of intense summer heat, sharp overnight cooling, and very little annual precipitation, doors here face extreme summer heat that bakes and warps lightweight steel panels, rapid day-to-night temperature swings that loosen hardware over time, and dust storms that pack debris into tracks and photo-eye sensors — and we stock the parts that stand up to it.
The short list of what goes wrong on Beloit garage doors: dust-blinded photo-eye safety sensors, prematurely fatigued springs from extreme thermal cycling, dried, cracked bottom seals that let dust into the garage, and cold-snapped springs after hard winter freezes. Whatever's on yours, the diagnosis is free on most repairs and the quote is in writing.
Garage door balance is the relationship between door weight and counter-weight (spring tension). When the door is correctly balanced, a fully disconnected opener should let the door rest stationary at any position you put it in — half-open without drifting up or down. When out of balance, the door drifts down (under-tensioned) or drifts up (over-tensioned), and the opener has to work harder than designed every cycle. Out-of-balance doors are the #1 cause of premature opener failure we see in the field.
Balance drifts over time as springs lose modest tension with cycling, as cables stretch slightly, and as panels accumulate weight (insulation added later, repaired panels with slightly different weight). A balance adjustment visit measures the actual door weight, calculates the correct spring tension, and re-winds the springs to spec. We also check cable tension and drum spool count as part of the same service.
After adjustment, we verify auto-reverse on a 1.5-inch obstruction test (UL-325 baseline) and re-program the opener's force and travel limits to match the new balance. The whole visit is 60–90 minutes. Done right, balance adjustment can add years to the opener's life and noticeably smooth out door operation.
Under-tensioned springs let gravity overpower the counter-weight. Opener compensates but the door still impacts hard at close.
Opener strains on lift
Heavy opener motor sound during open cycle indicates the springs aren't providing enough lift assistance.
Door drifts down when stopped halfway
The classic balance test — disconnect opener, lift door to half, release. Drift down = under-tension. Drift up = over-tension.
Door reverses before fully closing
Modern openers reverse when they detect resistance. Out-of-balance increases the apparent resistance, triggering premature reversal.
New spring installed but not balanced
A spring replacement without proper balance check is a partial job. Always re-balance after any spring work.
Common causes & what we fix
Spring fatigue
Springs lose 5–10% of tension over their cycle life. Re-tensioning recovers the original balance.
Cable stretch
Cables elongate slightly under load over time. Stretched cables change effective door travel and balance.
Weight added after install
Insulation foam, additional panels, or hardware adds weight that the original spring wasn't sized for.
Improper original install
Builder installs occasionally use the wrong spring size. Balance check reveals and corrects.
Damaged panel adding weight
Water-damaged or replaced panels can weigh differently than the original. Balance re-tunes for the new weight.
