Wear and tear
This is by far the most common reason for broken torsion springs. The
garage door is one of the most used devices in your home. Constant use is
bound to take a toll on the various parts that enable it to move. The
torsion springs come with a specified lifespan but that all depends on how
many times you and your family use the garage door. The weight of your
garage door also puts a certain pressure on the springs and with time, they
could give way to it.

Poor maintenance
Proper maintenance could have your garage door last for a couple more years
than the specified time. However, most homeowners tend to ignore the
maintenance of the garage door. Maintaining your garage door by, for
example, constantly lubricating the torsion springs will lengthen their
lifespan. Other than that, you need to ensure that your door is always
balanced. To do so, manually open the garage door and release it halfway.
If your springs are in good condition, the door will stay still. If the
door sags a bit, then it may be time to get some new springs.

Rust
Rust on the springs will certainly lead to their failure. Rust causes
friction on the coils and eventually corrodes the coil and weakens the
springs. However, there is some good news. Rust is very easily preventable.
All you have to do is spray some lubricant on the springs every three to
four months. This not only lubricates the coil but also prevents rust from
building up.

Improper installation
Garage doors are manufactured in such a way that each door has a specific
spring engineered to operate the door. If the springs installed are not a
match, then this means that they are more likely to break down and cause
failure. Ensure that when installing, the correct spring length and wire
size are used.

Ill-advised cost saving
Garage doors usually use two torsion springs, one on each side. However, in
order to cut costs, some builders will use one long torsion spring across
the entire door. While this may work for small and light garage doors, the
spring may not support a heavy garage door properly. A single spring
working to support a heavy garage door will not last long. It will
eventually lead to failure and may end up causing some heavy damage.

Although garage door springs are bound to beak at some point, some simple
maintenance routine practics should increase their lifespan. Remember that
in case of broken springs, you will have to call a certified garage door repair
company, rather than attempt to fix the problem yourself.

One of the problems with these tiny home ideas are that things come up, lifestyles change. This is why if you are in the market for a tiny home, make sure that you get yourself a garage with it. The garage is one of the most overlooked portions of the house in many respects, but it becomes all the more important when space in your home is at a premium. When life throws you a curveball and it turns out that your uncle Travis is going to be coming to stay with you for a few months your tiny home might not be able to accommodate an unexpected long term guest. This is where that great big garage comes in handy.

Your garage can quickly and easily turn into pretty much whatever room you need when you need it. The garage door goes down for a few months and a carpet and bed go in, that’s your long term guest room for the near future. If your son just started getting into fitness but doesn’t have the ability to go to the gym, then your garage is your new home gym. One last reason for the larger garage is that the storage space in your house is going to be a little less than most people are blessed with. Having extra garage space when you don’t have a ton of space to store things is pretty important. Keeping your home clean and free of clutter can be tough to do and having a place out of the way to store things is just great and near essential when you’re staying somewhere small long term.

The one thing that can really impact your home’s flexibility and the flexibility of your garage is a garage door repair. Garage door repairs can turn what is one of the most flexible rooms out there into a space that is wasted and goes unused. It is important to keep all of your home in top shape especially if you have a smaller home that is being used efficiently.

I did a bad super test

As usual, I made a bad super test … too tense! Saturday, I had a little trouble to free myself at the beginning of the race but I ended the day hard and I win.
Sunday, I was a little worse. The land was concrete and that’s not what I prefer. We were still in the fight with Antoine Méo, Johnny Aubert and Alex Salvini all day. I took advantage of Salvini’s mistake to take second place.

Happy to take the lead

The weekend was difficult because of the weather conditions. Saturday it was fat and Sunday, they stopped the race a lap before the end because it was not practicable because of the rain. After the big fight with Antoine Méo in world and his 3 wins against 1, I was eager to find the championship of France to continue the explanation! The fight was intense during the two days. I win with 1 second ahead Saturday and 4 seconds ahead Sunday. I am very happy to take the lead in the provisional standings of the French championship and look forward to seeing Antoine at the next EWC event in Greece.

I had a great weekend

Alexandre made his second double of the season in Sweden and won the scratch on both days. He left the Scandinavian tour with a 34 point lead overall.

Pela  :   ”  I had a great weekend with 2 beautiful days. I had prepared myself mentally for this event which was announced very hard with more than 2 hours of time. I was in my element all weekend winning the scratch 2 days with a comfortable lead. The days were long and difficult. It was very physical and you had to try to save money and keep energy. Saturday went well, I did not encounter any problem. Sunday I made a mistake, which allowed Johnny Aubert to get closer, but other than that it’s great. That’s part of the good times, in the life of a pilot, and you have to know how to savor them. ” 

First double of the season

For the first time in a long time, I did a great test. I left in the lead on Saturday morning and stayed all day. The fight was intense with Antoine, Johnny and Salvini during the whole race. Unfortunately, Antoine injured himself half way and we continued at 3.
Sunday, I went limp. It rained on Saturday night and I did not choose the good foam. I came back to the contact at the end of the race and I took advantage of a mistake from Johnny to sign my first double of the season and win the scratch in front of Nambot ‘for 1/2 second. ”

” I spent 15 good days in Germany, we were a good group or there was a good agreement. In addition the federation had really put in place a good coaching, and had the means so that everything is perfect to participate in 6 days in good conditions. From the first day, we showed our opponents that we would be present so much that the fight more took place between the French (Christophe Nambotin, Antoine Meo, Johnny Aubert and myself) against other nations. Thursday (4 ^thday) was a bit more complicated for me, I got a penalty of 20 seconds which was subsequently withdrawn. On this day, I also made a bad tire choice and got a little upset. Overall, I had a good week, the ISDE is really a good experience and I’m happy to have participated,  “says Pela who returned home as soon as the event was over. ”  Now I have to meet my doctor, because I hurt my ankle; it is the problem of the big ones, the legs often drag on the ground and it is enough of a rut or an obstacle to be hurt. As of next Tuesday, I’m back on the road to compete for the finals of the French and World Championships, two championships where I intend to keep the first place I currently hold.”

Pela second to Réquista

We feared the rain, but it is the wind that shook his world Saturday in Réquista. A zef of madman who carried the banners and seems to have pushed some pilots in their last entrenchments. What in any case to dry a little three beautiful specials on meadow traced by the master hands by the Motosport Réquista, which can offer a single day of racing because of the weather of the night from Saturday to Sunday compromising the conditions of security, canceling the race on Sunday.

Pela fourth in Argentina

A week after the opening of the season in Chile, the World Enduro was in Argentina last weekend. If the heat, the dust and an enthusiastic crowd were still there, the route was different with many sections drawn directly into stone fields Pela did not appreciate this route more than that and was not able to repeat her superb win of the previous week. The goal was to take big points, in a test that has done damage since Juha Salminen and Johnny Aubert both gave up on one of the two days. Twice fourth, Pierre Alexandre returns to Europe still well in the third place of the championship, with fifteen points behind Ivan Cervantes who has been very successful in these first two GP.

Pela takes the lead in the championship of France

After a world in Italy a little complicated, I wanted to reassure myself and take the opportunity to take points to Jeremy Tarroux in the championship standings. Saturday, I fell early in the day but I recovered well and I win with 17 seconds in advance. Sunday, in the rain, the fight was hot with Jeremy. I win in the last stage for 2 seconds and I take the same head of the provisional. Thanks to our victories this weekend, we win the constructor’s classification and we return to equal points with KTM in the championship.

Pela loses provisional in Italy

The results are disappointing but they are the hazards of motorsports. Saturday, I had a good day behind Salminen and Guerrero. They were faster than me in the line and I could not hang them. Saturday night, I went back on the line and it paid off because on the first clock on Sunday, I was at the same time as them. As I was faster in the other two stages, I took the lead early in the second lap. In the next line, I attacked to keep my lead but I derailed in the rocks and the chain got stuck. I managed to help myself but lost more than 4 minutes. I continued to take a few points. I lose the head of provisional for 4 points. The next two grand prizes are on Salminen lands, we’ll have to go to the polls to get the victory.
