The Importance of a Garage Door Tune-Up
To keep a garage door in optimal working condition, it helps to have regular tune-up inspections done. Here is what we do when performing the service:
- We check and adjust the cables to the springs
- Ensure that the garage door operates smoothly and tighten hardware components as needed
- We check for obstructions to signs of wear and tear on the tracks and hinges
- We keep the gears and sensors in good working order and lubricate all the moving parts
- We will verify the integrity of the weather seals insulation
- Lastly, we remove obstructions and debris away from the sensors
You must perform this inspection regularly, at least ones a year.
You use the garage door daily, and the components are under pressure.
Hence, it ends up with daily wear and tears you cannot see with the eye.
Thus the door can fail without warning.
