Mira Mesa's single-family tracts on both sides of Mira Mesa Boulevard date mostly from the 1970s, with condos and townhomes along Camino Ruiz, Black Mountain Road and Westview Parkway following in the 1980s. Whatever door the builder hung, most of these garages now have steel sectionals, and many run on a pair of extension springs along the horizontal tracks. Each of those springs needs a safety cable through it, and on older installs the cables are sometimes missing or rusted through. Openers range from pre-1993 units without photo eyes to newer belt drives. Rentals near MCAS Miramar turn over often, so landlords ask for safety checks between tenants.

Mira Mesa questions
What are the long springs on the sides of my Mira Mesa garage door?
Those are extension springs, and they are common on the steel doors in Mira Mesa's 1970s and 1980s tracts. They stretch along the horizontal tracks as the door closes and pull it up as it opens. Each one should have a safety cable running through its center so a snapped spring cannot whip across the garage. If yours have no safety cables, or one spring is broken, do not run the opener and do not try to unhook it.
Does the old opener in my Mira Mesa garage need safety sensors?
If there are no small photo eyes about six inches off the floor on each side of the door, the opener almost certainly dates from before 1993, when entrapment protection became mandatory on openers sold in the United States. An opener that old may not stop or reverse for a child or a pet. We recommend replacing it, and any new opener installed in California also has to include battery backup.
Our Mira Mesa door runs on extension springs. Can you add the safety cables older installs are missing?
Yes. A safety cable runs through the center of each extension spring and is anchored at both ends, so a spring that snaps stays on the cable instead of flying across the garage. Many older installs here never had them, or the originals have rusted through. We fit them with the door raised and secured so the springs carry no load, and we usually pair the job with new springs. Do not try it yourself.
