Just like your car needs regular Oil Changes and tune-ups, your garage door needs routine check-ups to maintain its function and security for your home.
Many homeowners overlook the importance of choosing the right garage door for your home, but neglecting to do so can lead to costly repairs or breakdowns. To keep your garage door in top shape and working properly, here are five essential checklist items that you should include in your annual routine maintenance:
Step 1.
Check the Balance – Many people forget that their garage door is a moving object and that it needs to be properly balanced in order for it to function correctly. To check the balance of your garage door, open it halfway and then release. If the door drifts up or down, you will need to make adjustments to the springs.
Step 2.
Lubricate Moving Parts – Keeping the moving parts of your garage door properly lubricated will help to maintain its smooth operation and reduce noise. Make sure to use a non-sudsing silicon based spray lube or a light weight oil on the chain, rollers, springs and tracks to keep everything running smoothly.
Step 3.
Inspect Weather Seal – The weather seal around your garage door helps to keep out drafts, dust and pests. Check it periodically to make sure that it is securely in place and not cracked or broken.

Over time, garage doors can start to experience some wear and tear which may cause them to not open and close as smoothly. If this is happening to your garage door, it may be time for some maintenance.
If you notice your door is making more noise than before, it may be due to loose hardware or parts that need replacing. With modern doors, they should open and close almost silently.
If it’s suddenly difficult to open or close your garage door, even with the opener, this might be because the tracks are dirty or misaligned. Plus, if the door feels “rough” when you operate it instead of moving smoothly, that suggests the rollers need replacing.
Many people don’t think about their garage door until it breaks, but preventing major issues is simple with regular maintenance. Get your door checked and serviced regularly to avoid any future problems.
What do garage door inspections involve?
To keep your garage door functioning properly for as long as possible, it is important to clean the rails that the door rolls on regularly. Debris and dirt can build up over time, making it difficult for thedoor to open and close properly. A skilled team will be able to check the rails and ensure they are free of any debris or dirt.
The technician will investigate the door opener, examining the springs, cables, pulleys, and other pieces for any rust or damage.
Lastly, we investigate the rollers that the door relies on for movement. Unfortunately, these can become damaged or misaligned over time.
