Garage Door Tune Up

Peace of Mind With Regular Garage Door Tune Up & Maintenance

A garage door tune up is an important part of maintaining your garage door's overall health and lifespan. During a tune-up, a professional will thoroughly inspect and adjust all of the parts of your door to ensure that it is operating smoothly and safely.

Here are 7 signs that it may be time for a garage door tune-up:

  • Loud noises: If your garage door is making unusual or loud noises, it may indicate that the springs or other parts need to be adjusted.
  • Slow operation: If your garage door takes longer than usual to open or close, it could indicate that the springs or opener need to be revised.
  • Door comes off track: If your garage door comes off the track or becomes misaligned, the rollers or other parts need to be repaired/ replaced.
  • Uneven gaps: If you notice uneven gaps between the weather seal of your garage door and the floor, it might be an opener or spring issue.
  • Safety sensor issues: If your safety sensors are not working as they should and make the door go up every time you try to close it, they need realignment and careful cleaning.
  • Loosen parts: If you notice any loose or frayed parts, like cables, on your garage door, it may be a sign that they need to be tightened or replaced.
  • Age: If your garage door is more than 10 years old, it may be a good idea to have a professional inspect and tune it up.
  • It is important to remember that garage door tune-ups should be performed by a professional and licensed technician with experience working on them. Attempting to perform a tune-up on your own can be dangerous and may cause further damage to your garage door.

During a tune-up, a professional will typically perform the following 25 safety points inspection:

  • Inspect all the door parts, including the springs, opener, rollers, tracks, hinges (brackets), and safety sensors.
  • Adjust the tension on the springs, if necessary.
  • Lubricate all parts to ensure smooth operation.
  • Check the door's balance to ensure that it is operating correctly.
  • Check the alignment of the safety sensors and adjust them.
  • Check the opener and its settings to ensure it is functioning correctly.
  • Check the weatherstripping around the door to ensure it is in good condition.
It is recommended to schedule a tune-up at least once a year or if you see any of the signs mentioned above. Regularly scheduled tune-ups can help prevent more costly repairs down the road and ensure that your garage door operates safely and efficiently.
