2021 census: what it means at the door

Every square is one home in a hundred.

  • 58 in 100 homes · older homes
  • About 58% of homes in Toronto were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.Hardware on an older door has often been through many winters: hinges with worn pins, rollers with tired bearings, bottom brackets rusted at the floor line. Replacing these in sets restores a smooth lift and takes a surprising amount of noise out of the garage.
  • Single-detached houses make up about 23% of homes in Toronto (2021 Census).In condominium communities the outward appearance of a garage door is often set by the corporation's rules, down to colour and panel style. We check what the board expects before ordering a replacement door, so the new one is approved and matches the row without a second conversation.

Anatomy of a garage door

Drawn forClarks Corners
ScaleNot to scale

Replacing a spring is the moment to review everything it touches: cable condition, drum wear, bearing play, bracket fasteners and the set of the door in its tracks. Doing it as one job means the fix holds for years.

  1. Part 1The panels

    Garage Door Panel Replacement

    The top section has developed a bend where the opener arm pulls on it. On the way up it flexes visibly, the door hesitates near the top of its travel, and daylight shows through the joint below it when the door is closed.

  2. Part 2The springs

    Torsion Spring Replacement

    You heard a sharp bang from the garage, and now the opener hums for a second and gives up. The door lifts a few centimetres at most, then settles back down as if something very heavy is holding it in place.

  3. Part 3The cables

    Garage Door Cable Replacement

    After years of slushy winters the cables look thinner near the bottom brackets, with rust streaks running down the door where they attach. The door still works, but the frayed wires catch your glove when you brush past.

  4. Part 4Tracks and rollers

    Garage Door Roller Replacement

    Every morning the door announces itself: a rattle on the way up, a grinding squeal on the way down, loud enough that the neighbours know when you leave. A spray of lubricant settled it for a day or two, then the racket came back.

  5. Part 5The opener

    Garage Door Opener Diagnosis and Repair

    For a few days there was a grinding sound whenever the door started moving. Now the motor spins freely and the door stays exactly where it is.

The questions that come up

What happens if the report lists a stop-use item?

The door is parked in a safe position, usually closed, with the opener disconnected so nobody runs it by habit, and the reason is shown to you. The correction is explained and quoted as its own piece of work, and once it is done the door is retested through the balance, reversal and photo-eye checks before it goes back into daily service. Another door into the house or garage is used in the meantime.

Will replacing the perimeter seal keep mice out?

It closes one of their favourite routes. Mice enter at the open corners where the header and side seals meet and along a fin that has shrunk back from the door, so a continuous, overlapped seal removes those gaps. It works alongside a sound bottom seal, a swept threshold and attention to any other openings in the garage wall, and a technician will point out any of those noticed during the visit.

What is checked after the rollers go in?

The door is run through several cycles with the technician watching each wheel stay seated, then balanced by hand with the opener released to confirm it holds at halfway. The top section is checked for a tight seal at the header, the hinge and bracket fasteners are snugged, and the opener's force and reversal are tested with a 1-1/2 inch block in the door's path. The industry checklist for a residential door covers exactly these points, and they are all part of finishing the job.

What is the track made of, and what sizes are there?

It is galvanized steel folded into a channel that the roller wheels ride in. Residential doors almost always use two-inch track, with three-inch reserved for heavier or wider doors. The curved piece comes in a radius, commonly 12 or 15 inches, that sets how much headroom the door uses. Replacement pieces are ordered to the same profile, gauge and radius as the rest of the set.
