Arlington
Arlington is the dense town between Cambridge, Medford, Belmont, and Lexington, built out early. Arlington has two-families, older single houses, and some newer infill. Garages are often single bays on small lots or missing. Low headroom is common. Arlington sees close-in winter: street snow, freeze-thaw, and little salt air.
Arlington sees a stuck door blocks a short driveway immediately. A loud bang in the garage usually means a spring let go. Stop using the door. Do not wind the spring, and do not prop the door open. Torsion springs sit on the shaft above the opening. Older single doors sometimes still have extension springs along the horizontal tracks.
We replace the broken spring and balance the door before the opener is connected again. A typical stop starts with the motor unhooked, so we can feel whether the door is heavy. We name the failed part at the opening and write the figure before a wrench turns.
Single bays and two-car doors are both ordinary residential work. Someone should be home to approve that figure. Call (781) 602-0737 to book directly.
