Little hinges swing big garage doors …Small in size, hinges are essential to the proper function of your garage door. Should they break or wear out, opening the garage will be difficult, if not impossible. Even worse, broken hinges can cause serious damage to the garage door itself. Look for signs of deterioration and get them fixed before you are faced with a major repair bill. Read More→

How hard can it really be to balance your garage door torsion springs and know if they are the right one(s) for the garage door…..
There are many schools of thought about garage door torsion springs and their replacement. Numerous websites and videos showing you how to change them yourself, using galvanized or oil soaked, some will count the number of coils within a certain measurement to determine the wire diameter of the torsion spring, some will use a spring gauge to determine the wire diameter of the torsion spring, and some will look at the color coding i.e. yellow, red, green etc. This can be somewhat overwhelming to an untrained service technician or “Do it Yourselfer”. It looks simple enough …how hard can it really be??? Read More→
One Spring vs. Two Garage Door Springs
What is a garage door spring and where do I look for it? It is that object that is located above the garage door that looks like a coil or spring. The proper name used in the garage door industry is called a torsion spring.
A torsion spring is a spring that works by torsion or twisting; that is a flexible object that stores mechanical energy when it is twisted. When it is twisted, it exerts a force (actually torque) in the opposite direction, proportional to the amount (angle) it is twisted.
So why would it be important to have one or two garage door springs on a standard two car garage door? Read More→
Thank you to all who came out for our annual Garage Door Safety Fair.
GARAGE DOOR SAFETY FAIR FUN!
National Garage Door Safety Month
June 2014
Did you know the month 
of June is National Garage Door Safety Month? Why is it important to check your garage door? Well, it is the largest moving wall in your home and on average a garage door opens and closes two – four times everyday. If the garage door opens that many times everyday, over time, parts start to wear out, torsion springs lose tension and openers need lubrication.

Losing your business identity to an unscrupulous competitor is easier than you think; protect your business internet identity now!
Recently I received a call from a solicitor wanting to gain our business thru SEO – Search Engine Optimization. During that call the individual asked me if we were affiliated with another competitor. I replied, “Absolutely not! Why would you ask?” He proceeded to explain to me that when he searched a specific term with city and state on Google. This is what he found, the name of our company A1 Affordable Garage Door Repair Services, our phone number 972-398-1919 and a competitor’s website link. When he clicked on the web link listed, it went to our competitor’s website. I tried the same search and couldn’t believe what I saw. But there it was: our company name, our phone number that is listed in the internet yellow pages but with our competitor’s website address. I was very upset and wondered how long this had been going on. What other keywords does he have this listed under? Read More→
