How Often and How Should I Service My Quality Garage Doors?

 

Garage doors are one of the most used parts of your house. You rely on them to open and close on your command every day. It's no surprise that these doors require maintenance to function properly all of the time. It would help if you had your qualitygarage door professionally serviced once a year to keep it in good working order. In addition, please perform your monthly checks on the door to ensure it is functioning properly. Learn more about the most common items inspected by a service technician each year and how to perform your monthly checkup.

 

Why Should I Maintain My Garage Door?

Servicing your garage door can help it last longer. It's similar to going to the doctor when you get annual garage door service. A physician examines you for signs of potential problems and treats any problems discovered. The same is true for a garage door.

 

Service ensures that a minor issue does not become a major one. For example, during your service appointment, a technician may identify and replace a spring about to break. You won't be caught off guard by a broken garage spring and forced to wait for someone to repair your door. It can also save you money because it does not require emergency service.

 

How Do Professionals Service Garage Doors?

The largest moving object in your home is the garage door. Some services and repairs are extremely dangerous, so they are best left to a professional technician. When professionals inspect a garage door, they have a checklist of issues to look for. They may begin by squeaky lubricating tracks and inspecting the system's overall health. They will then conduct individual checks, such as:

 

  • Torsion springs should be examined to ensure they have the proper tension.
  • Check the cable for fraying and replace anything that appears worn.
  • Look for signs of bending or breakage on the roller.
  • Door sections and panels: Look for signs of wear and tear, which can affect the garage door opener.
  • Garage door opener: Use to open and close the door several times to ensure it is balanced.

 

How to Maintain Your Garage Doors?

Aside from having your garage door professionally inspected once a year, you can take care of your system yourself by following these simple maintenance tips:

 

  • Check the alignment of your garage door by unhooking the opener and raising and lowering the door by hand. If it's extremely difficult, you may have door alignment issues.
  • Examine the "eye's" functionality: When it's safe to open or close the garage door, the garage door eye alerts your opener. Close the garage door by pressing the door opener button and placing a broom in front of one of the eyes. If the door stops, the eye is fine, but if it doesn't, you should seek medical attention immediately because there is a safety issue.
  • Debris removal: Keep the garage floors, and door tracks clean and debris-free.
