Garage door maintenance comes with numerous benefits, including:
- Smoother overall garage door operation
- Less mechanical wear and tear
- Reduced frequency and cost of repairs
- Greater confidence in your home’s security
- Maintenance of any warranties in place
When your technician arrives for your garage door tune-up, they’ll always start with a thorough inspection of the door itself, as well as the motor, tracks, cables, and torsion springs. This will give them a sense of what they are dealing with so they know which adjustments are necessary.
They’ll tighten any loose bolts or other hardware and ensure that the tracks are free of debris. They’ll lubricate the tracks as well so the door glides smoothly. Your technician will also check the balance of the door, which can vary over time. An improperly balanced door can put extra strain on the torsion springs and tracks, so it is important to keep everything properly aligned.
