Home owners rely on their garage
door to open smoothly and close securely each and every time they use it. When
your garage door suddenly stops operating properly, the explanation and
solution are pretty simple. It may involve any of the following parts: garage
door opener, garage door springs, hinges, or rollers.
Moving parts are the most common
problems since they can wear out or break. Things can also get out of
alignment. All it takes is one item that is not working and the whole door can
be rendered useless. Garage door parts have different functions. For instance, the
garage door springs do the heavy lifting. When the door is down, they are
stretched. When lifted, the springs recoil and lift the weight of the door for
you. Garage door rollers, meanwhile, help the door move smoothly. So when
problems occur with these parts, other parts can be a disaster.
The easiest way to solve an
unevenly opening garage door is by removing an obstruction or debris on the
tracks where the garage door rollers pass through. Everything starts with a clean and clear
passage. Next is to check whether the springs are of the same length and are
stretched at the same amount. However, when your door is operated by a garage
door opener, check whether the control works on both sides. Loud noises when
opening or closing your garage door is also a common problem especially on your
garage door hinges and rollers. The screeching, grinding or squealing noises
coming from the garage door parts signifies problems on lubrication. Again,
since your garage door has a lot of moving parts, you might want to lubricate
them regularly.
Lastly, your garage door openers are
of great help to lessen hassle in entering your home. When you push a button on
the remote, the garage door parts respond immediately; but when it doesn’t, it
is best to check whether the remote or the wall unit is faulty. When nothing’s
wrong, better check your house fuse box and check the circuit controlling the
door opener.
Perform an annual inspection and
maintenance procedure on your garage door parts and garage door opener to keep
it working for years. When all else fail, consult a professional garage door
contractor.
