Garage Door Maintenance Advice

Garage Door Repair – Douglasville

A broken garage door is one problem best left to the experts. Yet once Metro’s garage door technician has gotten your door working again, there is plenty you can do to keep it in tip-top shape. If you would like to learn more about preventing breakdowns through basic maintenance, read on. This article will introduce you to two simple yet effective things you can do. 

Ensure that your rollers are lubricated. 

Garage doors are equipped with several sets of rollers. These keep the door correctly oriented inside of its roller tracks while opening and closing. Unfortunately, over time the rollers tend to acquire a nasty layer of gunk and build up. When severe enough, such buildup can restrict the rollers’ movement, thus causing all manner of whining and squealing and screeching when the door moves up and down. 

The good news is that you can eliminate these annoying sounds and get your door moving smoothly again with little more than a can of silicone spray lubricant. Yet before you apply the lube, you will have to clean the roller as thoroughly as you can. By leaving the gunk in place, you will only ensure that the problem recurs down the line. When spraying your lubricant, do your best not to get any of it on the roller tracks; if you do, wipe it off carefully so that it does not cause dangerous slippage as the door moves up and down.  But, it’s probably best to hire Metro Garage Door to ensure the cleaning is done properly.

Keep your hinge bolts good and tight. 

The rollers are attached to the door by means of metal hinges. These are fastened to the door with hex-head bolts. While lubricating your rollers, it is always a good idea to check that these bolts are as tight as possible. They have a tendency to loosen up from the vibration of the door.

Spring Cleaning? How About A New Garage Door!

By

Spring is in the air

Did you know spring cleaning is not just an annual affair that urges people to tidy up and downsize? It is actually rooted in history when back in the days of harsh winters and fire hearths homes were cleared of furniture and the whole family worked together to remove the build-up of soot and dirt from a long winter.

Thankfully, we don’t have to deal with such issues anymore with airtight windows and sealed doors but we often still carry on the tradition of spring cleaning. It’s hard to resist when the weather warms and we can open the windows and doors to fresh air.

When you take the time out to swap the winter rugs for summer welcome mats and cold-weather colors/implements for sunny, summertime items, the garage door is one change not to be neglected.

Garage Doors – Douglasville GA

There may be many reasons you would want to consider adding a new garage door (or repairing an existing one) to your list of spring cleaning tasks:

  • It is outdated/unattractive
  • It is damaged
  • It is not energy-efficient
  • It is not safe
  • Just want something different

No matter what the reason(s) may be, a recent cost vs. value report from Remodeling.com indicates that garage door replacement is among the top three investments for homeowners who are remodeling.

Replacing an outdated garage door has the benefit of not only adding aesthetic value to your home, but your insurance rates could even improve with the addition of an updated garage door.

Garage Door Repairs vs Replacement

A damaged garage door can be as simple as replacing broken or non-functioning parts to replacing the entire door. The best way to determine which path to take is to have an expert meet with you to discuss options.

Many older garage doors were installed without consideration of energy efficiency but nowadays there is a large variety of energy-efficient residential garage doors to choose from.

A safe garage door is important for your garage and home. If your garage door does not adequately provide protection from the elements, intruders, or worse poses a safety risk by being in disrepair it is important to replace it.

Sometimes it all comes down to wanting to change to something new. Just as making a bed makes a bedroom look bigger and neater, having a new garage door is like giving a facelift to your beautiful home.

Garage doors are often overlooked until they stop working so now, as the weather warms, take a good look at the facade of your home and contact us today to schedule an appointment.
