What Goes Wrong With Garage Doors in Lewis Estates and The Hamptons
Lewis Estates is the name many people use for the Lewis Farms area in west Edmonton. The City adopted the Lewis Farms plan in 1988, and neighbourhood plans followed for Potter Greens (1990), Breckenridge Greens (1991), Webber Greens (2000), Suder Greens (2002), Stewart Greens (2007) and Rosenthal (2009). The Hamptons is a separate, newer neighbourhood. Wikipedia reports that its population grew from 5,642 in 2009 to 9,405 in 2012. So doors here range from new to about 35 years old. These are the problems we see most:
- Springs and cables that have reached the end of their life. See spring replacement and cable replacement.
- Safety sensors that are dirty, blocked or out of line. See sensor repair.
- Rollers, hinges and tracks clogged with grit and debris. See roller replacement and track repair.
- Openers with remotes, keypads or boards that act up. See opener repair and installation.
Our general garage door repair service covers the rest.
Homes Beside Fairways and Open Space
Lewis Estates has a golf course. The City says three fairways of the Lewis Estates Golf Course run through the middle of Suder Greens, with homes placed to overlook the open space. Homes beside open space can have a few extra garage door problems:
- Sensors that reverse the door in low sun. Direct sunlight on the receiving sensor can make the door reverse or refuse to close, often at the same time each day. Wipe both lenses, check that both lights glow steadily and try shading the sensor.
- Grass, leaves and dust on the sensors and tracks. Wipe them clean and clear debris from the bottom of the door.
- Impact damage. If a ball or other object has hit the door, look for a dent, a cracked panel or a bent track. Stop using the door if it looks out of line, and call us. See panel replacement and track repair.
- Moisture and rust. Wipe off surface rust on tracks and hinges, and lubricate them. Rust on a spring or frayed cable strands is a safety issue. Do not touch them. Call us.
If the door keeps reversing and the sensors look fine, the wiring may be damaged. We can check on the visit.
A Year of Garage Door Care
A little attention each season helps a door last. This table is a simple guide:
| Season | What to do |
|---|---|
| Spring | Wipe the tracks, sensors and seals clean after winter. Lubricate the hinges and rollers. Look for rust |
| Summer | Check the sensors for glare and dust. Test the auto-reverse with a 2×4 board laid flat in the door’s path |
| Fall | Replace the remote and keypad batteries. Check the bottom seal. Book a tune-up before the cold |
| Winter | Clear snow from the bottom of the door. Do not force a frozen door. Call us if it will not move |
Do not touch the springs or cables. If you notice a gap in a spring, frayed cable strands or a door that is crooked, call us. See garage door maintenance service.
Doors That Are Not New Anymore
Doors in the older parts of Lewis Farms were installed in the 1990s and 2000s. A standard spring is rated for about 10,000 cycles, which is about 9 years at three cycles a day. So many of these doors are on a second set of springs, and cables, rollers and openers are often due. If your door has started to feel heavy, shake or make noise, a checkup can find what is worn before it fails. If you are not sure what is original, we check on the visit.

Garage Door Repair in Lewis Estates & Hamptons FAQs
How much does garage door repair cost in Lewis Estates & Hamptons?
A service call and diagnosis typically costs $90 to $130 plus GST. A spring pair typically costs $280 to $450, a cable pair $180 to $320 and a roller set $150 to $260. We confirm the exact price in writing before we start.
Do you charge extra to come to Lewis Estates & Hamptons?
We tell you the full price, including any travel or after-hours charge, before we start, and you approve it first. Call us with your address and we will confirm the price for your visit.
Why does my garage door reverse or refuse to close on sunny days?
Direct sunlight on the receiving safety sensor can make the door reverse. Wipe both lenses, check that both lights glow steadily, and try shading the sensor. If it keeps happening, the wires or a sensor may need repair.
My home backs onto the golf course. Does that affect my garage door?
It can. Low sun, grass and dust can interfere with the sensors, and a damp garage can cause surface rust. Keep the sensors and tracks clean, lubricate the moving parts, and call us if an impact has dented a panel or bent a track.
What garage door care should I do each season?
In spring, wipe the tracks, sensors and seals and lubricate the moving parts. In summer, check the sensors and test the auto-reverse. In fall, replace the batteries, check the seal and book a tune-up. In winter, clear snow from the bottom of the door.
How old are the garage doors in Lewis Estates and The Hamptons?
The Lewis Farms plan was adopted in 1988, with neighbourhood plans from 1990 to 2009, and The Hamptons grew quickly after 2009. So doors range from new to about 35 years old. Many older doors have had springs replaced already.
Do I need to replace both springs if one breaks?
Yes, we recommend it. Both springs have been through the same number of cycles, so if one has broken, the other is usually close behind. Replacing both also keeps the door balanced.
Should I try to fix a broken spring myself?
No. Springs and cables are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury. If you heard a bang, the door will not lift or a cable is loose, stop using the door and call us.
