Garage Door Service for Lindsay Homes

What Is on the Truck

Lindsay runs about 3,739 households, which is a small enough number that we're not stocking for every door style on earth - we're stocking for what's actually out there. That means torsion springs sized for the steel sectional doors that went up through the 1980s and 90s, galvanized lift cables, and nylon rollers to replace the steel ones that were standard when most of this town's housing stock was built. We carry extension spring kits too, since a handful of older single-car garages in the area still run them. What we don't load up on: parts for high-end insulated doors or smart openers with proprietary boards, because that's not what the call volume out here calls for. If your door needs something unusual, we'll tell you on the first visit rather than guess at it on the truck.

A door built around 1981, which is close to the median build year for this part of the valley, usually has a torsion spring system that's simple in design but genuinely dangerous to touch without the right bars and clamps. Swapping rollers or lubricating a track is fair game for a homeowner with patience. Winding or unwinding a torsion spring is not - the spring is under enough stored force to break a hand or worse, and that doesn't change no matter how handy you are. If the opener is just not responding, check the wall switch wiring and the photo-eye sensors first; that fixes more
