When shopping for
garage door parts, consider how you use it. If it’s also a workshop, utility
room or play area, then you’ll need a door with good insulating properties.
Garage doors lead pretty simple lives; fortunately, that simple life usually
makes for relatively simple repairs. However, without the knowledge of your garage
door parts, you will definitely have trouble. Proper maintenance of your garage
door parts are huge savings. You can do some tests and related maintenance to
make sure your garage door and garage door parts are in place and in good
shape.
A monthly visual
inspection of your garage door parts can save you a lot of time and money.
Stand inside the garage door closed. Look over the garage door parts (springs,
cables, rollers, pulleys, etc.) for signs of damage or malfunctions. Look for
cable wear or fraying. If the mounting hardware is becoming loose as evidenced
by an unlikely look or sound, make sure to have them fixed because it could be
a symptom of a serious issue.
One common
problem home owners encounter in garage door parts are the unbearable set of
rollers and springs. You can wipe everything clean, and then apply light oil,
such as 3-in-1 lubricant to the parts. If any rollers or hinges seem stuck, try
to soak them in some kerosene. Use a small brush to work the kerosene into the
cracks. Remove any rust with steel wool then wipe all garage door parts clean.
To avoid such symptoms, a monthly balance test would help a lot in the
situation. If your door is equipped with an automatic opener system; close the
door and disconnect the automatic opener. One you are able to lift the door
manually (without resistance and should remain fully open) then the garage door
parts are fine; if it does the opposite, inspect the possible damaged garage
door parts.
For those with
automatic equipped garage door parts, a monthly force setting test is a good
way to test its safety features. With the door fully open, push your garage
door opener into close door. As the door is closing, put a hard item that would
resist its action, if the garage door parts do not respond by reversing
immediately, then call the technician immediately.
Lastly, a
semi-annual lubrication of your garage door parts will keep almost all possible
issues out.
