Garage Door Maintenance Adds Years To Your Garage Door
Garage door maintenance is an important part of owning a garage door. Just like other motorized appliances, garage door hardware is put through constant wear and tear. Over time, this can be fatal for springs, cables, and rollers. Once there’s a broken part, it can greatly damage other garage door parts and compromise the safety of your door if the problem is not addressed. Scheduling routine garage door maintenance can have a powerful impact on the functionality of garage door parts. It may just be the difference between having to schedule expensive repairs and preventing serious issues.
It’s easy to forget about garage door maintenance, but we advise you to form the smart habit of scheduling annual checkups now. Our technicians perform detailed garage door tune-ups, which are successful at thoroughly examining the condition of your garage door, and making adjustments as needed. These appointments can be completed within a couple of hours and will ensure your garage door is performing at its best.
What is a Garage Door Tune-Up?
During a garage door tune-up, a service technician will come to your garage to perform maintenance service. One of the most important parts of a garage door tune-up is servicing hardware. Springs and cables especially are impacted by the garage door’s constant movement due to their responsibility to carry its weight. Scheduling garage door tune-ups can help preserve the condition of these parts.
What’s Involved in Professional Garage Door Maintenance?
Thorough Inspection
In your garage door, it’s easy for underlying issues to exist, which may escape your notice. When a technician comes in, they’re trained to notice anything abnormal. If garage door parts are loose or about to snap, they’ll be replaced. It’s smart for these replacements to happen before parts actually break. Once a spring or cable snaps, it can damage other hardware and stop the garage door from functioning properly.
Cleaning and Lubricating Hardware
Garage door hardware includes hinges, springs, cables, rollers and more. These parts are exposed to wear and tear, which limits their lifespan. If they are cleaned, lubricated, and tightened annually, it can help them perform better and extend their lifespan.
Door Balance Test
A door balance test checks that the garage door is properly balanced. Springs and cables play a big role in moving a balanced garage door. Over time, it’s possible for hardware to shift and loosen, which may impact the garage door’s movement. It may even cause the garage door to slam shut, which could be extremely dangerous. We ensure your garage door won’t experience any of these problems.
DIY Garage Door Maintenance Tips
- Visual Inspection: Every couple of months, take a moment to inspect the garage door hardware. Look for any fallen or loose parts. Ensure that the safety sensors are properly aligned and the lights are turned on.
- Listen for Grinding Noises: When the garage door’s moving, pay attention. If you hear any abnormal grinding noises, it’s time to schedule garage door maintenance. This usually signifies that garage door hardware needs to be lubricated, but can also mean the opener needs to be repaired.
- Keep Your Garage Door Clean: Garage door hardware may accumulate water, dust, and debris over time, harming its functionality. Keep your garage door and the garage door tracks clean to create a safer environment and prevent rust damage.
- Tighten loose Nuts and Bolts: Garage door nuts and bolts might shift with time. Tighten all nuts and bolts to increase the overall functionality of your garage door.

MARYLAN POSTIER
Called and had them come and replace a broken spring on the garage. My car was in the garage when it broke. The technician asked me to pull my car up so he could get behind it. He said he would guide me and ended up hitting the corner of the hot water closet. When I confronted him about it he said that he couldn’t see that side he was watching the cloths hamper in front of my car. When my husband called the office he said he didn’t guide me he was behind the car. He is a LIAR. The only reason I gave two stars is because he did replace the spring.
