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.
