Here are some key signs that you need garage door maintenance:
- Strange or Loud Noises: Lubricating springs, rollers, and other moving parts can eliminate squeaks, grinding, or rattling sounds.
- Jerky or Shaky Movements: Adjusting tracks or cables ensures smooth and stable garage door operation.
- Unevenness or Sagging: Rebalancing or replacing worn springs and panels restores the door’s even alignment and functionality.
- Slow Response Times: Regular maintenance improves motor and track efficiency for faster door operation.
- Improper Closing: Addressing alignment or sensor issues ensures the door seals correctly, enhancing security.
A common indication of garage door problems is a noisy operation. Sounds such as squeaking, grinding, or rattling suggest that something is wrong with the door’s internal parts. In minor cases, you may just need to lubricate the springs or adjust the rollers. In more serious cases, you might need to replace certain parts entirely.
Another sign to look out for is jerky movements. If your garage door is visibly shaking as it moves, you may have a problem with the tracks or cables. By scheduling a tune-up as soon as possible, you can fix your door and help prevent a larger, more costly repair from developing.
In addition to the movements, pay attention to the shape of your garage door. Does it appear uneven, or are certain parts sagging? Not only is this aesthetically displeasing, but it can also cause functionality issues. For example, you might notice that your garage door isn’t closing properly. This can leave your garage (and home) vulnerable to intruders.
Last but not least, consider how quickly your garage door moves. Many maintenance issues can negatively impact response times and make it operate slower than usual. The sooner you receive proper maintenance, the sooner you can restore your door’s functionality.
