- Is this a garage door spring size chart or calculator?
- No. Charts and calculators work out what spring a door should have from its weight and height. DoorSpec Book records what's actually on each customer's door, measured by your tech, so the next call starts from the real size instead of a recalculation.
- Is this a garage door CRM?
- Partly. Keep scheduling and invoicing in Jobber, Housecall Pro, QuickBooks or the paper calendar on the wall; DoorSpec Book holds what those tools don't: the door itself, its springs and opener, the warranty dates and every visit.
- Why not use the equipment notes in our field service app?
- Most field service apps store equipment as a name, a serial number and a free-text note. Nobody types wire size, inside diameter, length and wind the same way twice in a note, so it can't be searched or trusted. Here they're separate fields on every spring set.
- What should a tech measure on a torsion spring?
- Four things: wire size (measure 10 or 20 coils and divide), inside diameter (usually 1¾, 2 or 2¼ inches), length of the coils unwound, and wind (left or right, by which way the end points). Add the cycle rating if the label is readable. Those are the fields on every spring set.
- Does it handle commercial doors?
- Yes. A door can be sectional, roll-up, rolling steel, carriage, one-piece or commercial sectional, with its own size, weight and track. A warehouse with twenty dock doors is one property with twenty door records.
- Can a property manager see their doors?
- Gate and keypad codes never show for them; everything else about their own buildings does. On the Fleet plan, an HOA board member or a facilities person gets a login tied to the addresses you pick, can look but not change anything, and can download a spreadsheet of the doors and visits.
