Repair,
Service and Installation
A garage door is the largest moving object in your home and
because of the large number of small parts, its installation
is highly technical. Connecting the springs can be
particularly dangerous and proper installation is critical
to the performance of your door. Professional
installers can typically install a door in a few hours and
are careful to make sure safety requirements are met.
Installations by most homeowners typically span several days
and cause much frustration. In addition, incorrect
installation can void certain warranties, so we recommend a
professional company like ours handle the job for you.

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.

Highland Village is a city in Denton County, Texas, United States, a suburb of Dallas hugging the south side of the far western branch of Lewisville Lake. As of the 2000 census the city population was 12,173, though the 2006 projection by the U.S. Census Bureau puts the city's population at 15,738. A number of residential communities are located within Highland Village, including Highland Shores and Castlewood.
Highland Village incorporated as a city in the early 1960s, though it only registered 516 residents in the 1970 census. The opening of the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport helped spur massive growth in cities north of the airport, including Highland Village. The census figures rose sharply: 3,246 in 1980, 7,027 in 1990, 12,173 in 2000, and 14,589 in 2004 (estimated). The city remains a primarily residential area, though more business development is occurring. Rapid growth has led to political conflict, although the city is still relatively small compared to nearby Flower Mound and Lewisville.
Highland Village has been the site of a number of local controversies, including the extension of FM2499 to FM2181 in Corinth, Texas—long planned by TxDOT—and approval of development of one parcel within the city's retail district which will include a Wal-Mart as the anchor tenant. The contested development of FM2499 was originally planned by the impacted communities through a 1987 task force report presented to the Texas Transportation Commission in 1988, which proposed the expansion and extension of FM2499, from SH 121 to IH-35E, in five sections.
At the same time that the Wal-Mart development was being hotly debated, a development on the opposite side of FM2499, with a larger anchor—and offered by its developer to Wal-Mart, but not identified as such—was accepted without opposition. One highly visible activist, Paul LeBon, lost a $725,000 libel and slander lawsuit filed by former councilman Gary
Kloepper.
In a recent story, local newspaper The News Connection reported that Duncan Duvall, owner of the Double Tree Ranch in Highland Village, had been arrested in connection with possible illegal water
use.
On February 14, 2007 former Denton County District Attorney Bruce Isaacks and his wife, State District Court Judge Vicki Isaacks, filed a libel suit against attorney Bill Trantham and a local newspaper, The News Connection, the newspaper's publisher Shane Allen, its executive editor Bob Weir, and its investigative reporter Stephen Webster. Isaacks was defeated by current district attorney Paul Johnson in the March, 2006 Republican
primary.
Emerging Issues
The City of Highland Village mayor and city council commissioned the development of a new logo in 2007, to replace the familiar red, white, and blue logo in use since the 1970s. Citizen reaction to spending taxpayer dollars on this venture has been decidedly mixed.
DCTA initiated bus service in Highland Village in January 2008. News reports by the Dallas Morning News and DCTA Board Minutes posted on the DCTA website revealed that this service, known as Connect Route 22, was averaging less than one rider per hour during its first six months, and costing an average of $55 per ride in taxpayer subsidies.
