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.

About

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.

The fertile Blackland Prairie and water from Bear Creek attracted settlers to the area in the mid-1850's. The St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas Railway laid tracks through the area in 1888.
The community adopted the name Lavon in honor of Lavon Thompson, the son of E.C. Thompson, who operated the town's post office, established in 1888.
The flag stop, on what became the St. Louis Southwestern Railway of Texas in the early 1890's, served as a commercial center for farmers and increased the population of Lavon from an estimated twenty-five in the late 1880's to 300 by 1910.
In 1913 the Richard Royal chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution marked the grave of John Abston, who was buried near Lavon. Abston fought in the battle of Kin's Mountain during the war, and later moved to Texas.
The population of Lavon hovered near 200 through the 1930's and 1940's, and in 1940 five businesses served its residents. These population and business figures varied only slightly between 1940 and 1980, despite the construction of Lavon Lake in 1952-53, two miles west of town.
The lake did, however, bring boaters, fishermen, and picnickers to replace farmers as the most frequent visitors to the community. In 1980, the newly incorporated Lavon had one business, serving 306 residents.
During the late 1990's and early 2000's, a number of smaller housing developments served to approximately double the population of Lavon, and brought the city's first new businesses in decades; an auto repair facility, quick-stop grocery / gas station, a branch bank, barbecue restaurant, and others.
