Has your garage door started squeaking when you open and close it? Have you noticed it seems to be working harder to open and close? A garage door needs some TLC once and awhile to maintain it’s ability to work properly. If you have inherited a garage door from a previous homeowner, you’ll want to take some time to work on your garage door to ensure it’s working the right way. Here are some things you need to know about garage doors, and how you can avoid some of those costly garage door repairs.
Lubricate the Rollers
That annoying squeaking is normally coming from worn out rollers. Using lubricant can assist in stopping the noise, but the best way to get rid of the squeaks is by purchasing some new garage door rollers. Adding a little garage door lubricant can extend the lifespan of the rollers, and it helps to reduce the stress burden on the garage door spring. If you have a garage door that is two years old, you should plan on having yearly tune-ups to ensure everything is working correctly.
Loud Bangs When Closing a Garage Door?
If you have a garage door that is shutting violently, you need to get it serviced as soon as possible. Do not use the door during the time in which you are concerned as it could easily break the spring, or you can have a broken chain. It pays to hire professionals immediately to avoid expensive repairs in the future.
