Service and Maintenance

Your garage door is probably the biggest moving part in your house and performs an important role in keeping your home and garage secure. A regular garage door service keeps it running smoothly and quietly and ensures your home and property is protected and safe.

Every garage door service includes the following 6 important checks:

This is the most important part of a garage door service as the torsion springs do most of the work opening the door. If the springs are not properly tensioned the garage door will be excessively heavy which causes undue wear on the motor.

Springs which are properly tensioned will ensure your door opens and closes smoothly and get the maximum life from your motor/opener.

Every sectional garage door has a wire cable on each side of the door. These two cables connect the bottom panel of the door to the cable drums on the spring pole across the top. The torsion springs turn the pole, which in turn lift the door as the cables wind up onto the cable drums. Frayed or rusty cables are the most common cause of garage doors coming out of the tracks, so it is important to get the cables checked regularly and replaced if necessary.

Broken hinges are common and usually due to normal wear and tear. A garage door service includes an inspection of every hinge and roller wheel, replacing loose screws where necessary, and lubrication to ensure smooth and quiet operation of your garage door.

Making sure the garage door opener is working properly is a vital part of the garage door service. This includes checking the force/sensitivity settings which ensure the door will reverse if it encounters an obstruction as it closes or stop if it is on the opening cycle.

Adjusting the limit settings where necessary will make sure the door closes properly to the garage floor and opens enough to provide adequate clearance for your vehicle to pass underneath the door.

This part of the service also includes inspection and adjustment of the chain or belt which lifts the door and lubrication where required.
