Terms of Use

Garage Door Science is an independent educational site. Everything here — labs, chat responses, inspection tools, videos — is informational only, not a substitute for a licensed garage door technician. Do not attempt to adjust, remove, or replace torsion springs, extension springs, or lift cables yourself. These components store dangerous amounts of energy and can cause serious injury or death if mishandled. When in doubt, call a pro.

By using the chat on this site, you agree to these terms.The chat is powered by an AI assistant and may make mistakes. Messages you send are processed by third-party language model providers to generate responses. Don’t share anything in chat you wouldn’t put in an email.

If we connect you to a local partner, we’re facilitating an introduction — we don’t warrant or guarantee any third party’s work. You can reach us by replying to any email you receive from the site.
