Here are some reasons why you may need to schedule garage door maintenance:
- Operation and functionality issues
- Broken or loose parts
- Lack of lubrication
- Harsh weather conditions
A major reason that people schedule maintenance is functionality issues. You might notice that your garage door is operating slower than usual or that it’s not closing properly. During a standard maintenance session, our garage door specialists will carefully examine the door to identify the source of the problem. Then, depending on the cause, they’ll either perform a minor tune-up or recommend a more major repair.
Oftentimes, garage door issues are linked to broken or loose parts. If even a single bolt gets loosened, the entire door won’t operate properly. When you schedule maintenance, our team members will check the individual components, including the roller brackets, cables, and bolts. If they notice any broken or loose parts, they’ll take steps to fix them.
In addition to adjusting the garage door’s different components, our specialists will add lubrication. Over time, the various moving parts in your garage door can stiffen, which affects functionality and causes loud noises. Proper lubrication helps ensure all parts are moving correctly and promotes a quieter operation.
Finally, you may need to schedule maintenance after a particularly harsh weather event. Strong winds, thunderstorms, and snow or hail can damage your door. Not only can they disrupt functionality, but they may also cause aesthetic issues. Scheduling maintenance early allows you to restore your door to prime condition as soon as possible.
