Garage door maintenance is essential for ensuring your door operates smoothly and efficiently for years to come. One crucial aspect of maintenance is lubricating the springs, rollers, hinges, and bearings. These components can become dry over time, leading to noise and reduced smoothness in operation. Regular lubrication helps prevent these issues and prolongs the lifespan of your garage door.
Another critical maintenance task is adjusting spring tension. As springs loosen or weaken over time, your garage door can become heavier and harder to lift. This places unnecessary strain on your garage door opener, potentially leading to early failure. Properly tensioned springs ensure your opener functions as intended, with the springs bearing the brunt of the door's weight.
Additionally, regular maintenance includes inspecting and maintaining the opener itself. This can involve checking and rewiring safety eyes, resetting force and limits, and tightening the chain. These preventative measures help identify and address issues before they escalate, keeping your garage door in optimal condition and minimizing the need for costly repairs.
By investing in regular garage door maintenance, you can enjoy a smoothly functioning door, extend its lifespan, and avoid unexpected repairs. Schedule your maintenance service with us today to keep your garage door operating flawlessly
