Two-Door Service with Hinge and Track-Mount Repairs in Tyler, TX

Cracked bottom weather seals, a broken hinge and a split track-mounting board needed attention at this Tyler, TX garage. The homeowner had requested an inspection and tune-up for two doors. StraightShot Overhead replaced the bottom seals on both doors, replaced rollers and the broken hinge, and replaced the damaged 1x4 where the track brackets attach to the wall. We also lubricated the springs and hinges. This visit involved more than lubrication: damaged hardware and mounting wood needed replacement.

The Problem

The homeowner requested an inspection and tune-up for two garage doors. Inspection uncovered damaged bottom seals, a broken hinge and a split board supporting the track brackets.

What We Found

The bottom seals were cracked and shrunken, with sections stopping short of the door ends. A hinge was broken, and the 1x4 where the jamb brackets attach to the wall was split. Two photographed end bearings showed no visible wear, while another had grease leakage that the technician flagged as possible bearing wear. The technician also noted a 2013 stamp on a torsion spring.

What We Did

We completed tune-ups on both doors, replaced rollers, and lubricated the springs and hinges. We installed bottom seal kits on both doors and replaced the broken hinge. We also replaced the damaged 1x4 at the track-to-wall attachment.

The Result

Both doors received new bottom seals and tune-up service. The broken hinge and split track-mounting board were replaced rather than left in place.
