Signs You Need Garage Door Maintenance or Repairs

If your garage door has been having issues or is otherwise annoying, you might be wondering if you have a serious problem on your hands or if you just need garage door maintenance? Like most things in and outside of your home, garage doors will sometimes be problematic. While some things can be chalked up to wear and tear, other issues need to be addressed right away.

It’s important for all homeowners to know at what point they need to call in the experts. Ignoring some garage door problems can lead to major damage down the road. These are the top 3 signs that you need to schedule a service call for your garage door.

Your Garage Door Doesn’t Open Properly

If your garage door doesn’t open or close properly, it’s a safety hazard. While there are several different things that can be causing this issue, it’s best to consult with an expert. We will examine your door’s tracks, cables, springs, and electronics. We can get to the root of the problem and get your garage door opening and closing safely again.

Your Garage Door is No Longer Weather-Proof

If your garage door is no longer weather-proof, give us a call. Your garage door shouldn’t be letting in water, debris, or dirt. If it is, you could have an issue with your garage door’s weather strips. If you’re having these types of issues with your garage door, we can help.

Your Garage Door is Loud

Finally, another key indicator your garage door needs to be serviced is if it’s loud. Does your door seem to wake up the neighbors? Although a noisy door may not seem that serious, it can actually point to a whole host of issues. A trusted garage door technician can determine where the issue lies and fix it quickly, and properly.

Do you have issues with your Garage Door Cables

By

Your home’s garage door can have a variety of issues that may cause it to malfunction, making it difficult or impossible for you to open or close it. We suggest you examine your garage door every few months to determine if it needs to be serviced. One of the most important things for you to look at is your garage door cables.

What a Garage Door Cable Does  

Your garage door’s cable is an essential part of the process of raising and lowering your garage door – it is threaded through the torsion spring and physically lifts the door when activated. It can also protect you and your family from being injured if your garage door’s spring ever breaks. It’s absolutely essential that you make sure your garage door cable is in good shape and is aligned properly.

Why Garage Door Cables Break  

There are a number of different reasons why your garage door’s cable might break and/or come off its track. Sometimes the tension between your cable and spring isn’t right, which can cause your cable to break or be misaligned.

Another common problem is that some cables will have an issue winding around the drum, which can weaken them over time and cause your door to raise and lower unevenly, or even get stuck.

Another issue to be aware of is the age of your cable – as your cables get older, they will get weaker, which can cause them to snap.

How to Fix a Garage Door Cable

Although you might be tempted to try and replace a broken cable yourself, we urge you to call in the experts. There are a lot of things to consider when replacing or fixing garage door cables, and safety is at the top of the list. It’s best to hire a reputable garage door technician any time you have issues with your garage door or its parts.

Workmanship
This may be the most important checkpoint. And it is also easy to verify. Does the door dealer have satisfied customers? If so, do they have letters of recommendation from their customers? Depending on the project, you may want to talk to a customer or two.
Code and Regulatory Compliance
