Garage Door Preventative Maintenance Checklist

Here's just a few things we check for during our annual maintenance inspections.

01

Springs

The right tension on your garage door springs determines how easy it is for your door to open and close.

02

Openers

Regular maintenance of your garage opener will ensure you avoid any corrosion by checking the metal parts, including servicing the chain and belt.

03

Tracks & Rollers

We repair any misaligned tracks to keep the system running correctly. We can also replace, adjust, or lubricate any worn rollers.

04

Panels

Check for any damage to garage door panels that may decrease the garage door's performance or negatively impact your home's property value from exterior damage to your garage door.

05

Cables

We check for any early indications of wear and tear of the garage door's lift cables. This includes determining if their is additional strain on the cables from broken rollers.

Here are a few signs to look for that indicate you may be dealing with a broken spring.

01

Your Door Closes or Opens too Fast or slow.

If your garage door abruptly jerks closed or open, it is likely the springs are experiencing problems. The opener system has a mechanism to control how fast the door lowers and raises. When any springs are damaged, it may interfere with this safety feature due to the excess weight on other components, making it unable to control the speed.

02

Your Door Feels Heavy or Won't Move.

Does your garage door suddenly feel heavy? This may be a sign that your garage door extension springs are broken and in need of replacement. Since garage doors are extremely heavy you put yourself at risk of injury trying to inspect the door on your own. It is best to leave this service to the professionals if you think something is off.

03

Your Door Appears Crooked.

You may think a crooked garage door isn’t a big deal, but it is not a problem to be overlooked. This is typically a sign of the extension springs being broken and requires immediate attention. The door appears crooked from this issue because one side of the door is getting pulled up quicker than the other.

04

There Are Large Gaps in Your Springs.

If a torsion spring has snapped, you could see visible gaps of up to a few inches wide. Sometimes, people can even hear a loud snapping noise coming from their garage and discover a broken spring. This will require a specialist to come in and replace the torsion spring. It is also advised to get the other springs evaluated to ensure all components work properly and none received damage from the broken spring.

05

Your Door's Cables are Loose.

You may find loose cables hanging from your garage and think the issue lies with the cables. In reality, cables will loosen or slack when the torsion springs are broken, adding more stress onto those components. This means the springs are to blame for the issue!
