It’s not a good idea. Springs and tracks are designed to match your specific door for safe and smooth operation. Reusing old parts can cause problems, violate safety codes, and put extra stress on your new door. New garage doors are tested and approved as complete systems to work safely and reliably. 

If you’re noticing water, dirt, or pests sneaking in, worn or missing weather seals are usually the cause. In Florida’s climate, seals can break down after about five years. King Oaks Inc. can easily replace your seals and trim to keep your garage clean, dry, and protected. 

It could be something simple, like a dead battery. If a new battery doesn't solve it, the issue might be with the sensors, interference from nearby electronics, or even a problem inside the opener. Our technicians at King Oaks Inc. can find the cause and fix it fast. 

This usually means something inside the opener’s drive system is worn out or broken. It’s not something you can fix yourself, but our team can diagnose it and get your garage door working again. 

We recommend having your garage door checked twice a year. Regular tune-ups help catch small problems early and keep everything running smoothly for years to come. 

You can check for loose bolts, keep the tracks clear of debris, and lubricate the rollers, hinges, and opener chain or belt with garage door lubricant. A few simple steps can make a big difference! 

Anything involving springs, cables, or red-painted parts should always be left to professionals. These parts are under a lot of tension and can be dangerous without the right tools and training. 

Most garage door openers last between 10 to 15 years. With regular maintenance, you might even get a few extra years out of yours. 

If your opener makes strange noises, struggles to open or close the door, or is over 10 years old, it might be time to think about a replacement—especially if it doesn’t have updated safety features.

Look out for slow movement, loud or unusual noises, jerky motion, broken wires, or if the door comes off its track. If you notice any of these, give us a call—trying to fix it yourself can be dangerous. 

Yes, that's a sign something isn’t right. It could be interference with the signal or an issue inside the opener. It’s important to get it checked out as soon as possible. 

Your door should have an automatic reverse system that makes it go back up if it hits something, plus photo-eye sensors at the bottom to detect anything in its path. These features help protect you, your family, and your pets. 

Safety cables are attached to the springs on some garage doors. If a spring ever breaks, the cables help prevent it from flying across the garage and causing injury or damage. They’re a simple but very important safety feature.
