Garage Door Pulleys
Garage Door Pulley Replacement
Garage door pulleys are an important component of the counterbalance system used in doors with extension springs.
Most garage doors are equipped with four pulleys which are split into pairs on both sides of the door. There are two stationary pulleys and then two more affixed to each end of an extension spring.
When pulleys break, they can damage other components and prevent your door from working correctly.
At Precision, we install high-quality garage door pulleys to ensure your door operates quietly, smoothly, and safely.
How Long Do They Last?
Most standard garage door pulleys last around 10,000 cycles, which aligns with the lifespan of most garage door springs.
While they’re typically made of sturdy materials and can last longer with proper maintenance, they’re still susceptible to environmental factors like heat, cold, moisture and rust.
Here are some signs it might be time to have them replaced:
- The garage door won’t open at all
- The garage door opens partway and then stops
- The garage door doesn’t sit evenly on the ground when closed
- You hear a scraping sound when operating the door
Garage door pulley problems can be challenging to diagnose, so it’s important to call Precision if something seems “off” about the way your door is operating.
Homeowners should never attempt to fix garage door springs or pulleys themselves.
Why Choose Precision?
Professional Precision technicians are trained to work with all garage door sizes, styles, and weights, and fix them using only the highest-quality replacement parts.
We Use
Precision uses a cast iron pulley for strength and durability. The no-seam design ensures cables roll through pulleys smoothly.
They Use
Other companies use a lightweight sheave pulley. These will eventually separate and cause the door to strain severely.
