Keep Your Garage Door Operating Smoothly and Safely
Even the best-quality garage doors and parts wear out eventually. Louisiana weather contributes to this wear. Humidity can rust parts and cause wood to swell, leading to misalignment and balance issues. Heat stresses the motor, increasing the risk of overheating. Heating and cooling cycles can also cause parts to expand and contract, causing them to wear out quicker. Storms bring high winds, hail, and driving rain that can further damage your door and its parts.
Frequent daily use makes maintenance even more important. Our garage door tune-ups include checking springs, pulleys, cables, rollers, door balance, sensors, tracks, and opener components.
Here are some benefits of a garage door tune-up:
- Extended garage door lifespan
- Improved safety
- Better performance
- Enhanced curb appeal
Garage Door Inspection, Lubrication, and Safety Checks
We’ll usually start our garage door tune-up with a visual inspection, including examining moving components. We will listen for any abnormal sounds during operation. Modern garage doors have safety features to prevent the door from falling onto vehicles or people, and we’ll check those features. This includes performing safety sensor checks, auto-reverse testing, and door balance evaluation. We’ll lubricate parts, check hardware and connections, and identify worn components so that we can provide garage door repairs.
Components like springs in the door opening mechanisms are under high tension. Trying to fix or maintain your garage door yourself risks injury and property damage. Professional maintenance ensures safety and may be a condition of your warranty.
