Apache Junction garage door repair company

Apache Junction is named for the junction of the Apache Trail and the Old West Highway, and the city counted 38,499 people at the 2020 census. Housing collected around those two roads over the years, so one street can hold doors from different decades, with different springs behind each.

Older and lighter doors often run extension springs alongside the horizontal tracks, 2 to a door, each with a safety cable threaded through the middle of the spring. If yours has them, that cable is part of the job and not an upgrade. On a torsion door the spring sits on a steel bar above the head and twists as the door comes down. Either way the heat is the same. Over 110 F on many Valley days, a garage hotter than the air outside, and grease in the rollers and hinges cooked down to wax. The monsoon window runs June 15 to September 30, and the wind arrives before the rain, which is how grit gets into a track and a door starts to scrape at one height.
