Garage Door Garage Door Safety Inspections Wright, WY
Our Wright garage door safety inspections calls cluster around cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, debris-blinded safety sensors, and loosened hardware from repeated freeze-thaw. We fix the cause on the first visit and back it for a decade.
Weather matters more than most Wright homeowners expect. Local conditions — a high-elevation mountain climate — cold, snowy winters, dry, mild summers, and large elevation-driven temperature swings — drive freeze-thaw that cracks seals and loosens hardware, cold-thickened grease that bogs down openers in unheated garages, and ice that forms on tracks and bottom seals overnight, so we recommend hardware and seals suited to Wyoming's high country.
Across Campbell County, the garage door problems we see again and again are cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, debris-blinded safety sensors, and loosened hardware from repeated freeze-thaw. If that sounds like your door, there's a good chance we can fix it today.
Safety inspections are formal, documented evaluations of the entire garage door system — useful for home sales (preempt buyer-inspection negotiations), insurance audits (some carriers require periodic verification), post-incident review (after a near-miss or actual injury), and rental-property compliance. The inspection covers every safety-critical component plus structural items, and produces a signed PDF report that meets the documentation needs of most buyers, insurers, and property managers.
Our standard report covers: UL-325 compliance (photo-eyes present, aligned, and triggering auto-reverse on obstruction test), spring health (visible wear, age, cycle estimate), cable health (fray, corrosion, secure termination), drum and shaft integrity (set-screws tight, drums spooled correctly), opener motor and gear health (audible inspection, force/travel calibration), photo-eye function, manual-release operation, balance verification, and structural items (track alignment, bracket fasteners, panel integrity, hinge condition). Every check is photographed and the report includes the photographs.
Inspections take 60–90 minutes. The signed PDF is emailed within 4 hours of completion. If we find issues, we present a separate flat-rate quote for any repairs — you can address them during the same visit, schedule a return, or share the report with the relevant party (buyer, insurer, etc.) and decide later.
