Garage Door Maintenance
Any time a garage door breaks down is an inconvenient time. Garage doors offer more than curb appeal, they’re often our main way in and out of a house. They’re our access to storage, workshops, and vehicle security. It’s important that you don’t wait until something breaks to call us. Instead, allowing us to provide regular maintenance will ensure your garage door operates smoothly every time you need it to.
Regular maintenance plans are the best way to avoid costly repairs, shortened garage door lifespans, and hassle. Planned maintenance can take a number of forms, but it typically means inspecting, cleaning, lubricating systems, testing safety systems, and addressing any problems. We bring all the right equipment to get the job done correctly the first time. No matter what comes up, we can handle it.

Garage doors are made up of many complex pieces and systems. It is never worth the risk to attempt this maintenance on your own. Garage doors weigh hundreds of pounds, and if they fail or if an accident occurs, you could be looking at serious danger and damage. Always let a professional handle the routine maintenance if for no other reason than to be on the safe side.
Here are just a few of the components within a garage door:
-
- Center Bracket and Bearing: The center bracket supports the torsion springs and affects the door’s balance.
-
- Spring: The springs are the powerhouses of the garage door system. They lift the weight of the door by unwinding as the door opens.
-
- Cable Drum: There is a cable drum on each end of the torsion shaft that winds as the door opens and helps support smooth operation.
-
- Cables: All of the cables in the system endure incredible amounts of tension. It’s a bad thing when the cables snap unexpectedly.
Ways We Maintain Your Garage Door System
Inspect the Door’s Operation
Often, a thorough inspection will prevent accidents. The first thing we do when we’re on a maintenance call is inspect the door, top to bottom, including the components listed above and many more. Be sure to inform our team if you have heard any odd noises or noticed any unusual strain on the door.
Clear Garage Door Tracks
One of the easiest ways to ensure smooth operation is to make sure the garage door tracks are clear of any debris. Dirt and clutter can easily accumulate on the tracks, which will prevent the door from opening and closing properly. Your service technician will be happy to clear the door’s path and restore optimal function.
Lubricate Garage Door Parts
As with all mechanical things, lubricant is an essential part of maintenance. Spray lubricant will help prevent a lot of that friction that’s caused by the high-tension system of a garage door. This is often something that’s overlooked, but we know the importance of this step, and we make it a part of all our regular inspections. There is no such thing as “minor issues” when it comes to maintenance. We will lubricate moving parts to avoid further damage and keep you running for longer.
Update Safety Features
Safety is likely a large part of why you chose the garage door you did. We want to make sure you stay secure by offering a proactive approach. By having a technician come out regularly, you’re able to rest easily at night knowing you are up to date and ready to go.
One of the simplest and first steps we take is cleaning the photo eye sensors at the bottom of the door with a soft cloth. Regular cleaning of these devices will help prevent delays and keep the path of the door clear of people and items.
Garage Door Opener
No job is too big, no job is too small! Your garage door opener is not to be neglected. We’ll make sure it’s working properly, whether it’s a remote or wall button. You need your door to stay open when you tell it to, and close when you tell it to. By checking your opener for potential issues, we hope to save you lots of trouble.
How Often To Maintain Your Garage Door
We recommend that homeowners have maintenance services at least twice a year. If you use your garage door multiple times a day, it would be prudent to have maintenance done more often than that. Some businesses require monthly maintenance! Even at that, it’s much easier to call someone monthly to check your hinges and hardware than it is to find out too late that there’s no fixing the problem.
No matter what kind of property owner you are (homeowner, business owner, industrial complex owner, ectera), we’re here to help. Our maintenance services are designed to protect you and provide you with a reliable product for many years. We know that you can’t live and function with a door that you expect to fail every time you need to use it. That’s why we have tailored our services to fit your situation. From preventative maintenance to emergency services, we keep your needs first in our minds.
