Insulation Strip

Have you started to notice a loud, specific banging sound every time the garage door is closed? This is potentially a sign that your insulation strip, located on the bottom of the door, is either worn down or has broken off at some point recently.

When this happens, the door material itself will be slamming into the hard ground surface every time the door closes – that’s the noise you’re hearing. Beyond this, such impact will also damage the material, plus the lack of the strip will allow for temperature loss that makes your building far less efficient from a heating and air standpoint. In such cases, our team will be happy to recommend a replacement insulation strip for your garage door, plus provide services installing it.

Spring Upgrades

In other cases, it will be the springs of your garage door that are causing all the racket. This is particularly true if you’re noticing a harder-than-usual thud or impact when the door closes – this is often because the springs have worn down and are not providing proper cushioning for the door, which is crashing down instead of lowering lightly on the springs.

In the majority of cases, we strongly recommend leaving spring replacement to our team of garage door repair pros. The only exception will be if you have specific training and experience with garage door springs and related components – otherwise you will be risking both personal safety and the quality of the spring installation.

Noise Isolator

In certain situations, most of them found in commercial facilities, there’s a need to completely remove any noise or even minor vibrations from the garage door to the rest of the building. In such situations, owners or managers may consider a specific noise isolator system, one that’s meant to cut out vibrations between the garage engine and metal support structures, completely muting the noise impact from the entire system and allowing for silent operations.
