New Doors
Installation & Upgrades
A new door starts with a tape measure. Width, height, headroom, sideroom and the depth of the garage all decide what will fit and how it will run.

2021 census · what it means at the door
46%Homes of every age
About 46% of homes in Halton Hills were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
Where housing ages are mixed, many older houses have already had a newer door and opener fitted, so the door's age and the house's age are not the same thing. The technician reads the door itself, its spring type, tracks and opener, before recommending anything.
73%Mostly houses
Single-detached houses make up about 73% of homes in Halton Hills (2021 Census).
A detached house with its own garage is a natural fit for upgrades that need space: a jackshaft opener to free the ceiling, a high-lift door for a car hoist, or a wider door when a bigger vehicle arrives. The technician measures the opening and headroom and says what fits.

What people ask us
My opener is old and has no photo eyes. Can it still be inspected?
Yes. Older openers rely on contact reversal alone, so the board test carries more weight and is run carefully against the maker's procedure, along with the manual balance check, the force setting and the release. The report records what the opener has and how it performed. An opener built before photo eyes became standard is flagged for replacement in the report, since makers recommend moving off that generation of opener rather than treating photo eyes as a nice-to-have.
Should I lubricate the tracks?
No. Tracks should be clean and dry. Rollers are meant to roll along the track on their own bearings, and a film of lubricant on the track collects grit, thickens in the cold and makes the rollers slide and drag instead. Wipe the tracks with a rag and put the lubricant where it belongs: on the hinge pins, the roller bearings, the spring coils and the bearing plates at the ends of the torsion shaft.
What is the difference between perimeter weatherstrip and the bottom seal?
The bottom seal is a rubber or vinyl strip fixed to the lower edge of the door itself and presses against the floor. Perimeter weatherstrip is fixed to the frame, running up both jambs and across the header, and the closed door presses against it from inside. They wear differently and are replaced separately, though it is common to renew both in one visit when each is showing its age.
Do nylon rollers need lubricating?
The nylon tire itself needs none; spraying it or the track only collects dust that grinds the wheel. The hinge knuckles and stems where they turn benefit from a light coat of garage door lubricant once or twice a year, worked in by running the door. The ball bearings themselves are lubricated only where the roller's own maker calls for it, since some nylon rollers should not be greased there. Rollers with sealed bearings come greased from the factory and need only a wipe and a look.
Why is my door sitting crooked since the spring broke?
On a two-spring door, one intact spring keeps pulling on its side while the broken side goes slack, so the door lifts unevenly and a cable can jump its drum. The technician levels the door, reseats the cables in their drum grooves and evens the tension after the new spring is fitted. Rollers and track are checked for damage from the crooked travel so the door runs square again.
