Garage doors carry enormous static load, and for Garage Door Safety Inspection every connected component — springs, cables, drums, and openers — is engineered to work as a system. A Garage Door Safety Inspection repair addressing only the visible symptom often fails within weeks because an adjacent component was already near failure. That is why every Garage Door Safety Inspection call includes balance testing, full-travel inspection, and hardware torque checks. Leaving a safe and smooth door after each Garage Door Safety Inspection visit is the goal, not a temporary quiet period.

What a garage door safety inspection covers

A garage door is one of the few mechanical systems in a home that can cause serious injury when a component fails under load — a 150 to 400-pound panel with springs under hundreds of foot-pounds of tension. A safety inspection from BSD Garage Door covers every load-bearing and safety-critical component on the door system: springs, cables, drums, end bearings, center bearing plate, auto-reverse force limits, sensor alignment, and opener limit behavior. We document findings in writing and provide a condition rating for each component. Comprehensive safety inspection for Franklin garage doors — springs, cables, auto-reverse force, sensor alignment, hardware torque, and travel limits. Documented report provided after inspection.

Safety inspections are appropriate before purchasing a home, after a door has been impacted, if the door is making new noises, if it has reversed unexpectedly, or simply as an annual verification for older systems. BSD Garage Door provides inspection-only calls across MA — we document findings, quote any needed repairs with priority ratings, and let you decide how to proceed. There is no pressure to authorize repair work during an inspection-only visit.

Safety inspection report — what each section covers

• Spring system: both springs inspected for corrosion, wire gap, and remaining coil life. Safety cables on extension spring systems checked for thread and clip condition.
• Lift cables: checked at drum windings, mid-span, and bottom bracket attachment for fraying, kinking, and wear. Cable replacement is the most commonly deferred maintenance item found at inspection.
• Hardware: hinges, rollers, brackets, and track fasteners inspected for fatigue cracking, missing fasteners, and worn roller stems. Lag screws into framing checked for pull-out risk.
• Auto-reverse force test: obstruction test and down-force measurement per opener manufacturer specifications. A door that fails this test is a code-compliance issue.
• Safety sensor alignment and function: both sensor lights confirmed solid, beam path verified, and auto-reverse from beam interruption tested.
• Balance test: door disconnected from opener and held at mid-travel. A door that does not hold position indicates spring imbalance that accelerates wear on the opener carriage.
• Weather seal condition: all four perimeter seals and bottom gasket checked for contact gaps, hardening, and tearing.

The written inspection report includes a condition rating (good, monitor, replace soon, replace now) for each component, the technician's findings notes, and repair quotes with priority assignments. Most homeowners find the inspection cost recoverable in the deferred maintenance they choose to address — and peace of mind that the door is operating safely is the primary benefit.

Do I need to replace both springs at the same time?

On two-spring residential doors scheduled for Garage Door Safety Inspection, BSD Garage Door replaces both springs — for a clear mechanical reason, not upselling.

The cost difference between replacing one spring and a matched pair during the same Garage Door Safety Inspection visit is modest; the service-interval benefit is significant. On single-spring systems needing Garage Door Safety Inspection service, BSD Garage Door replaces the one spring and notes the estimated remaining life of adjacent hardware.
