- MDMatthew DyorichNov 17, 20255.0Had a spring break and door would not open. Called Western in the morning, got it fixed that same day. $125.00 lower then another company and another quoted me $1,500.00 and said bearing, wheels and a bunch of other parts needed replaced. Western now has a loyal customer.
- RCRyan ChristensenNov 11, 20255.0They responded quickly to the message I left. They came and professionally replaced the broken garage door spring and identified that the other spring was in need of replacing as it was about to break. They were great to work with.

Frequently Asked Questions About Western Wholesale The Garage Door Store
What materials are garage doors made of?
We specialize in steel garage doors. These doors offer superior strength and security compared to wood, aluminum, or fiberglass alternatives. Our steel doors come in a variety of designs, from classic raised panels to distinctive carriage-style options, allowing you to choose the perfect look for your home.
How important is insulation in a garage door?
Insulation plays a crucial role in garage doors for several reasons. It helps maintain a consistent temperature in your garage, keeping it warm in winter and cool in summer. This temperature regulation can lead to reduced energy costs. Additionally, an insulated door can help minimize exterior noise, enhancing the comfort of your garage space.
How often should my overhead garage door be serviced?
To ensure optimal performance of your garage door and opener, we recommend servicing every six to twelve months. Regular maintenance is particularly important considering that, according to Raynor, 55% of homeowners use their garage door as their primary entrance. Professional servicing helps keep your door functioning safely and efficiently.
How long should my garage door springs last?
Torsion springs typically have a lifespan of about 10,000 cycles, with one cycle representing a complete opening and closing of the door. As springs are subject to wear over time, we encourage you to contact us for any necessary repairs to ensure your garage door continues to operate safely and smoothly.
How do I release the door from the operator so I can open the garage door by hand?
To manually operate your garage door, ensure it's fully closed for safety, then pull the red release cord downward. This disengages the door from the operator. We advise against pulling the release cord when the door is open, except in emergencies, as the door could fall rapidly. Release cords are a standard feature on all garage doors.
How do I select the right garage door opener?
Choosing the appropriate garage door opener depends on various factors, primarily the size of your door and the available clearance above and beside the door opening. Our team will guide you through the selection process, ensuring you get the ideal opener and setup for your specific garage configuration.
What safety features are important on a garage door opener?
Modern garage door openers incorporate several key safety features. These include rolling code technology, which generates a new, non-repeating code each time the control is used, enhancing security. Many also feature an exterior keypad for coded entry. Most openers are equipped with a light that remains on for a few minutes after operation, providing illumination as you enter your home.
Why does the garage door reverse and open when I try to close it?
If your garage door reverses upon closing, it's often due to an obstruction in the path of the safety sensors. Check for any objects on the floor that might be blocking the sensors. If the area is clear, verify that the LED lights on the sensors are blinking. Should the issue persist, consult your opener's manual for troubleshooting guidance.
How long does a door opener last?
The lifespan of a garage door opener typically ranges from 10 to 20 years, depending on the model and frequency of use. Regular inspections and proper maintenance can significantly extend the life of your opener. We recommend scheduling periodic check-ups to keep your opener in optimal condition.
Why won't my garage door open when I press the button?
If your garage door isn't responding to the button, first check that the opener has power and that the remote batteries aren't depleted. If power isn't the issue, try manually lifting the door using the emergency release cable. If you can't lift the door, the springs may be broken. Note that repeated attempts might trigger the motor's overload protector; in this case, wait 15 minutes before trying again. For any concerns about your garage door opener, please don't hesitate to contact us.
