2021 census: what it means at the door

Every square is one home in a hundred.

  • 58 in 100 homes · older homes
  • About 58% of homes in Toronto were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.Original openers in older neighbourhoods often predate photo-eye sensors and rolling-code remotes. Bringing one up to date means a quieter motor, sensors that stop the door for a child or pet, and remotes that cannot be copied from the driveway, all installed in a single visit.
  • Single-detached houses make up about 23% of homes in Toronto (2021 Census).Condo and townhouse garages are frequently used for storage as much as parking, with the door opened many times a day, and the shared walls mean vibration travels. A well-balanced door, tight hardware and a quiet opener are the upgrades residents notice most.

Anatomy of a garage door

Drawn forLawrence Manor
ScaleNot to scale

Older homes often carry extension springs stretched along the tracks; newer ones use a torsion bar above the door. We work on both, and we can convert one to the other when it makes sense.

  1. Part 1The panels

    Garage Door Panel Replacement

    Rust has crept along the bottom edge of the lowest section. What began as bubbling paint is now a soft, flaking strip, the seal retainer is working loose, and a screwdriver pressed against the worst spot goes through the steel.

  2. Part 2The springs

    Torsion Spring Replacement

    Nothing broke outright, but the door has grown heavier each winter, opens more slowly and squeals as it moves. The springs on an older door have lost tension and the coils show pitting, so the system is asking for attention before it fails.

  3. Part 3The cables

    Garage Door Cable Replacement

    The car bumper kissed the door on the way in. The bottom panel has a dent, the bracket in that corner sits crooked, and the cable on that side has jumped and gone slack, so the door reverses every time it tries to close.

  4. Part 4Tracks and rollers

    Garage Door Roller Replacement

    Since the cold snap the door has been stiff and noisy first thing, and after the last thaw the bottom corner began to judder. There is slush in the foot of the track and a bloom of rust on the lowest wheel.

  5. Part 5The opener

    Garage Door Opener Diagnosis and Repair

    It is a January morning and the door lifts about a hand's width, groans, and settles back down. When you pull the release and try by hand the door feels far heavier than it used to, and the bottom seal is stuck hard to the slab.

Asked and answered

Will new holes have to be cut in the track?

Rarely. The slots are already there on most tracks, and a bar that misses one is usually a sign the door or a guide has moved. Restoring the door's closed position and resetting the guide brings the bar back to the existing slot. A new slot is punched only when a lock is added to a door that never had one, or an old slot is badly damaged.

What do the numbers stamped on garage door hinges mean?

They mark the joint the hinge belongs to, counted from the bottom. A 1 goes at the joint above the bottom panel, a 2 at the next one up, then 3, with 4 and 5 on taller doors. Each higher number stands the roller a little further off the door face, so the door leans into the jambs when closed and follows the track as it climbs. Centre hinges use the geometry of a 1.

Why is the horizontal track sagging?

The horizontal run hangs from the ceiling on back hangs of perforated angle, and it sags when a hanger bends, its screws pull out of a joist, or it was only ever fixed into drywall. A sagging hanger droops that run out of level or its intended pitch. The fix is a straight or new hanger screwed into solid framing, with the run set to the manufacturer's specified pitch and matched to its partner; a door that drifts back toward the opening once raised is a separate, balance-related symptom.

Do the pulleys need replacing at the same time?

Often, yes. Each side has two pulleys, one on the spring and one fixed at the front of the track, and the cable rides over both on every trip. A pulley whose wheel has worn a sharp groove, or whose bearing has stiffened, drags on the cable and adds load the spring has to overcome, which is a common reason the old spring wore early. Pulleys that spin freely and run true can stay.
