Questions
What are common winter garage door problems?
Cold weather causes metal contraction and ice buildup, leading to sticking doors and frozen hardware. Regular lubrication prevents these seasonal issues.
How do I know if springs need repair?
Uneven door movement, loud noises during operation, or visible gaps in coils indicate spring damage requiring professional attention.
Should I repair or replace my garage door?
Replace if panels are severely damaged, insulation is compromised, or the door is over 15 years old. Repair minor cosmetic issues or mechanical failures.
How often should garage doors be maintained?
Perform basic maintenance every 6 months, including lubricating moving parts, checking spring tension, and inspecting track alignment for optimal performance.
What safety features prevent accidents?
Install photoelectric sensors that reverse door movement when obstructed, and use reinforced safety cables to contain broken springs.
