The Mechanics Of A Garage Door

Getting Physical with the Law of Physics

 

More than a Door

When you look at a garage door, your eye automatically focuses on the aesthetics of it. The style, the fit, the color while your brain sees the door as the best way to keep your automobile and other possessions out of view and safe. You just grow to rely on it always performing the duty it was designed to do.

 

Until the day it doesn’t. If you have a garage, then no doubt you’ve had a basic run down of the way it operates. The door lifts, the door closes. It is tracked with wheels and a frame to make it glide and when the remote stops working, just switch the batteries. The top ten recognizable terms any garage owner has heard and can identify are:

 

  1. Springs
  2. Rollers
  3. Tracks
  4. Cables
  5. Opener
  6. Safety Sensors
  7. Weather Stripping
  8. Hinges
  9. Locks
  10. Panels

 

To ascertain a better grasp of the importance of relying on a professionally trained garage door specialist service like the one available with Garage Door Experts to handle all of your garage door system needs in and around the Greater Boston area, lets go back to the one standard that does not change for any style of garage door, be it electric, hydraulic or pneumatic: gravity.

 

Simple Law Behind the Door is Centuries Old

When Newton applied three laws to the action behind motion, it became apparent that force was required to lift weight beyond our own singular ability. So, in this case, the garage door is the inertia object. The one that stays at rest until the correct amount of force can lift it. Next, is gravity. We can’t escape it so we must find a way to break it’s hold on the inert object by applying more force to achieve success.

 

Now, consider the standard garage door alone weighs between 150 to 300 or so pounds, when we add springs to it, the weight is compressed down to more manageable weight. Then the other interconnected parts come together and allow your door to stay in motion.

 

With minimal strain on you or your opener, a garage door cycle is complete at a safe velocity to stay within proper weight parameters. A properly tuned and counterbalanced garage door is what professional service specialists like Ronen at Garage Door Experts have the knowledge to make the effort behind a working door look and run effortlessly are committed to achieve,
