Old Springs - Your garage door’s springs are arguably the most important and most dangerous part of your door. Springs wear out. When they break, injury can result. If you have an older garage door, have your springs inspected by a professional technician and replaced if needed. If your door has two springs, both should be replaced, even if one is not broken. This will not only prevent any damage caused by the breaking of the second spring, but also keep your door working efficiently.
Loud Springs - Springs can squeak and be noisy. This is caused by normal use and does not necessarily indicate a problem. Before calling a professional service technician, use a spray-on lubricant (recommended especially for garage doors). If the noise persists, call a professional garage door installer for service.
WARNING - Springs are under high tension. Only qualified persons should adjust them.
Garage door springs, cables, brackets, and other hardware attached to the springs are under very high tension and, if handled improperly, can cause serious injury. Only a qualified professional or a mechanically experienced person should adjust them, but only by carefully following the manufacturer's instructions.
The torsion springs (the springs above the door) should only be adjusted by a professional. Do not attempt to repair or adjust torsion springs yourself.
A restraining cable or other device should be installed on the extension spring (the spring along the side of the door) to help contain the spring if it breaks.
WARNING - Never remove, adjust, or loosen the screws on the bottom brackets of the door. These brackets are connected to the spring by the lift cable and are under extreme tension.
Lubrication
Regularly lubricate the moving parts of the door. However, do not lubricate plastic idler bearings. Consult the door owner's manual for the manufacturer's recommendation.

Addison Circle began as a vision of the Addison 2020 committee established in 1992 to envision Addison’s future. The committee determined that Addison’s most logical future was to become the urban housing provider for those who wanted to live in an urban environment and also enjoy the great location, safe environment, shopping, events, and restaurants the Town had to offer.
Once the vision was adopted by the City Council, the staff hired RTKL to create image boards showing how the development could look. The staff then began pitching the idea to developers.
Robert Shaw of Columbus Realty Trust pursued the project and hired RTKL as the planners and architects. Columbus, RTKL, and the staff began crafting new zoning district standards and designing the Phase I product and infrastructure. (1993-1995).
The Addison City Council adopted the Urban Center zoning classification and rezoned the property to the UC district (1995). Once the zoning was approved, the Town entered into a development agreement for $9,000,000 in infrastructure improvements with Columbus Realty Trust (1995). Tracts were later sold off to other developers.
Vitruvian Park(SM) is located in the Town of Addison, long recognized as a city of opportunity with more than 100,000 jobs, thoughtful and attentive government and numerous entertainment options. Conveniently located just north and west of two of the most important arterials in the Dallas metropolitan area, LBJ Freeway and the Dallas North Toll Road, Vitruvian Park(SM) offers convenience and easy accessibility to world class amenities, renowned shopping including the Dallas Galleria Mall and recognized schools.
Vitruvian Park(SM) will be delivered in phases to carefully create an inviting neighborhood with a variety of luxury housing options including traditional flats, soft lofts, and townhouse style homes. Designed on an appealing human scale, mindful of the ancient principles of Vitruvius - the renowned Roman architect. and of Leonardo de Vinci's study of man - the development will put urbanites within a few minutes walk to work, play and home. To be executed in an environmentally responsible and thoughtful way, Vitruvian Park(SM) will become a model for sustainable urban development and will attest to UDR's determined commitment to being a leader for responsible development. The community will include a 12 acre park built around a spring-fed creek and connected to area bicycle and jogging trails, a second neighborhood park with an amphitheater and a third park for a variety of outdoor games establishing Vitruvian Park(SM) as a community for active urban dwellers.
