Garage Door Maintenance & Safety Check
Garage doors mostly fail without much warning, but not entirely without any. Noisy rollers, a door that's getting heavier by hand, or an opener that's started working harder are all things you can catch before they turn into a Saturday morning phone call.
A maintenance visit covers the moving parts, the balance, and the safety features. It's also the visit where we'd rather tell you a spring is near the end of its life than have it let go with your car behind the door.
Signs you're dealing with this
- It's been a few years and nobody's looked at it
- The door has gotten noticeably louder
- Rollers look worn, or hinges are visibly loose
- You're not sure whether the auto-reverse still works
- Weather seal is cracked and the garage is drafty or wet
How the visit goes
- 1
Moving parts
Rollers, hinges, bearings and the opener rail — inspected, lubricated where appropriate, tightened where they've worked loose.
- 2
Balance and travel
The door gets lifted by hand to check spring balance, and the opener's travel and force limits get verified.
- 3
Safety features tested
Photo-eye sensors and the auto-reverse on contact both get tested, because those are the ones that matter most.
