As a garage door expert, I cannot stress enough the importance of regular tune-ups for your garage door. Even if your garage door is functioning properly, it is still recommended to have it serviced once a year. Not only does this ensure the safety of your garage door, but it can also save you from costly repairs in the long run. Neglecting to maintain your garage door can lead to damaged hinges and even the need for a full replacement. When my family moved a few years ago, our garage door was making some concerning noises when opening and closing.
After conducting some research, I realized that it had been years since any maintenance had been done on it. This made me wonder if I should hire a professional company to service it. I didn't want to be taken advantage of, but I also wanted to ensure that my garage door would continue to function properly for years to come. The best way to guarantee the safety and reliability of your garage door is by having it serviced and inspected annually by a trained technician. Not only does this give you peace of mind, but it also reduces the risk of potential safety hazards that could result in serious injuries. It goes without saying that your garage door deserves routine maintenance and preventive care.
At IDC-Automatic, we highly recommend scheduling an annual tune-up for your garage door to ensure optimal safety and performance. By regularly maintaining your garage door, you can also prevent the need for more expensive repairs in the future. Over time, constant use and exposure to weather conditions can cause wear and tear on your garage door, making regular tune-ups essential. Most garage door manufacturers recommend scheduling maintenance at least once a year, also known as tuning your garage door. This helps prevent common issues such as squeaking, shaking, and difficulty opening and closing.
Not only are these problems annoying, but they can also be a sign of underlying issues that need to be addressed. Preventive maintenance is crucial in keeping your garage door in top condition. Thanks to advancements in technology, garage door manufacturers have made great strides in improving the security of garage doors and openers. However, it is still important to have your garage door regularly inspected and serviced by a professional technician. If you are not comfortable adjusting your garage door on your own or do not have the necessary tools, it is best to enlist the help of an expert technician. Automated garage doors and openers should be tuned at least once every one to two years to maintain optimal performance and security.
During a tune-up, professionals can clean and inspect the door for any dents, scratches, or rust, ensuring that it is in top condition. This is especially important because if any issues arise, such as a malfunctioning opener, you may not be able to open the door at all. An inspection of your garage door can also reveal any damage that may require repair or replacement, such as a rusted spring or underperforming opening motor. It is essential to thoroughly examine all components of the overhead door, including springs, fasteners, tracks, hinges, roll-up wheels, and cables. Additionally, photoelectric eyes should be checked to ensure they are properly detecting movement and causing the door to reverse when necessary. Regular tune-ups are not only important for the functionality of your garage door but also for the value of your property.
If you are planning to sell your home, a well-maintained garage door can significantly increase its value. Don't neglect the maintenance of your garage door - schedule an annual tune-up today!.
