In Ashburnham we have found that most people simply want to understand what happened to their door. So the technician explains as he goes: why the spring broke, what a balanced door feels like, how the sensors work. You end up knowing your door better and knowing what to listen for next time.

Shop rules
A door you barely notice.
- A walk-through of the door. You see what we see: the spring that has stretched, the cable that is fraying, the sensor that is knocked off line.
- Care for what is stored. Bikes, tools, seasonal boxes and vehicles are moved or covered as needed, and put back where they were.
- Choices that fit your plans. Selling next year, staying for decades or renting out: the right option depends on that, and we ask before advising.
- Open 24/7, same fees any hour. Set up a visit

2021 census: what it means at the door
Every square is one home in a hundred.
- 64 in 100 homes · older homes
- 57 in 100 homes · mixed housing
- About 64% of homes in Peterborough were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.Extension springs are common on older doors, and they should carry a safety cable through the middle so a broken spring is held rather than flung. Adding those cables is a small job the technician checks for and offers on any older door he services.
- Single-detached houses make up about 57% of homes in Peterborough (2021 Census).A blend of housing means a blend of garages: spacious attached garages with full headroom on the detached lots, and tight tandem garages with little side room in the attached units. Openers, tracks and springs are all sized at the door rather than assumed from the street.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know which size and type my door takes?
Look at the end of the bottom section for the metal or plastic strip that holds the seal. Count the channels, note whether they are slotted or rounded, and measure the distance between them and the width of the door. A photo of the end of the retainer and one of the seal's cross-section is usually enough for the technician to identify the profile before the visit and bring the right roll.
Why should the seal only touch the door lightly?
The fin is meant to bend against the door with a small, even deflection. That is enough to seal, and it lets the fin spring clear as the door lifts. Pressed hard, it drags on the door face, folds under on the way down, squeals and wears through well before its time, and it adds load to the opener. Set too far off, it leaves a standing gap. The light touch is the setting that lasts.
How long does a manual lock repair usually take?
An adjustment to a slide bolt or a guide is a short job, while a full T-handle replacement with new bars, a rekey and a door alignment fills a longer visit. Most calls sit somewhere between, and the technician gives you a realistic sense of the time once the door has been looked at, rather than guessing from the phone.
What is the difference between balancing a torsion door and an extension-spring door?
A torsion door has springs on a shaft above the opening, and tension is changed by winding the springs with steel bars, a quarter turn at a time. An extension door has springs along the tracks, and tension is changed by moving the hook or cable clip to a different position with the door open and clamped. The hand test that proves the result is the same for both.
