Maintaining your garage door
Waking up in the morning to a broken garage door can be quite a hassle. Your car might be stuck in the garage, you can’t drive the children to school, or worse, you miss out on a day of work to wait at home for a repairman! Your garage door needs to be maintained and kept in working order.
Garage doors resemble cars in functionality. Unlike front doors or windows, garage doors have moving components that all need to work together to function properly. Springs, cables, rollers, electronic components, etc… all these parts tie in together. Broken bearings inside of a pulley may not be noticeable to you, but cable may have a harder time turning, damaging it over time. This in turn weakens the springs on the door and damages the gears in the motor. Regular maintenance is crucial for the proper functioning of your garage door.
If you don’t have time to maintain the garage door yourself, then call a professional garage door service specialist to provide maintenance. Minimum, you should do a checkup every 2 years. Problems that can be prevented:
- Broken pulleys
- Cables fraying
- Spring tension problems
- Broken door hardware causing pressure on the garage door motor
- Broken gear
- Broken Springs
- Damaged weather-strips
- And much more…
