No Spring? No Problem!

Owning a garage door reminds me of what it’s like to own a car. It works just fine every day and then suddenly, it’s not working at all! There’s nothing as horrifying as a car that won’t start, except maybe a garage door that won’t open. Now, most of the time, when your door won’t open, it’s because the spring has broken. The spring system acts as the counterbalance for the garage door so when it breaks, the door is bearing its full weight against you or your opener. This normally results in not being able to open it.

However, when your spring breaks, Raynor has an option to make the repairs a little smoother for you. If you purchased an Aspen, Encore, or RockCreeke Series garage door, you’ll have had the option to upgrade to Raynor’s EnduraCote system. The upgrade initially appears cosmetic, with powder-coated white track, hardware, and end stiles and powder-coated black springs. But EnduraCote actually warrants all hardware and spring components against defects in material and worksmanship for as long as you (the original purchaser) own your home. The Enduracote springs even have a longer lifecycle than standard springs.

If you upgrade to EnduraCote, this means that the broken spring on your garage door will be replaced only at the cost of labor. A Raynor dealer (like us!) will take information from the broken spring, submit it to Raynor, and have the replacement spring back on your door as soon as possible because no one likes to have a garage door that doesn’t open.

So, keep that in mind while you’re shopping. Sometimes, the “extended” warranty is worth it!
