WNY Garage Door Maintenance

Your garage door serves both a security and aesthetic role in your property. How often do you stop to listen for any squeaks and squeals from your garage door? Did you know you should plan for garage door maintenance at least twice in a year?

Proper garage door maintenance can forestall the need for expensive repairs caused by wear and tear. When you engage a technician, they will come and listen for any unusual sounds when the garage door opens and shuts. They will also inspect the door rollers to decide whether they might be due for replacement. Ideally, you need to replace them after 6 years.

What We Look For During Garage Door Maintenance

Your garage door tracks should be clear of any debris and dirt. Small stones and pieces of metal stuck in the track will quickly cause damage to your door. Another important step in the inspection process is tightening of screws that may have loosened up over months. This takes a few minutes, but it can prevent injuries and damage to your car. Loose screws are not unusual. In short - our technicians will thoroughly inspect your door and all of its hardware to ensure that it's running properly and shows no developing signs of any dangerous or problem-causng issues. 

Completing The Garage Door Maintenance Process

Once all checks are complete, it's important to test the balance of your door. If you lower your garage door halfway, it should remain in that position. A door that rises or falls lower is under too much or too little tension. A garage door technician should adjust the tension. Do not do this by yourself. It's too risky.
