Maintenance
Garage door maintenance and tune-ups
Most garage doors open and close several times a day, every day. A tune-up keeps them running smoothly and lets us catch a worn cable or tired spring before it fails at a bad moment.
Once a year is a reasonable schedule for most homes. If your door is older, very heavy or used all day, consider having it checked more often.
Our main site has a list of simple maintenance tips you can do yourself between visits. Leave the springs and cables to a technician.
A tune-up includes
- Checking door balance and spring condition
- Inspecting cables, drums and bottom brackets
- Lubricating rollers, hinges and bearings
- Tightening hinges, brackets and track bolts
- Checking track alignment and roller wear
- Testing the opener's auto-reverse and safety sensors
- Adjusting opener travel and force settings
