Avoiding Garage Door Repairs

There are a few keys to keeping your garage door in good working order. The first is to perform an annual inspection to head of problems before they start. These general maintenance steps can be done by most owners, but it is highly recommended for you to hire a garage door repair expert to make sure that you don’t miss anything. Because beyond the basic maintenance, having a professional around is the best time to bring up complicated garage door problems and so quick repairs may be done.

Cleaning garage door tracks properly is the easiest yet most ignored task by homeowners. In cleaning, one should not spray any lubricant to the garage door track when the garage door becomes noisy or perhaps sticky. The lubricant will not contribute to the proper functioning of the track of the garage door. Lubricants can even initiate the collection of particulate matter that will eventually harden and can complicate the function of the garage door; thus needing to spend more on garage door repairs. The best thing to do is clean the track thoroughly by simply wiping the inside portion of the track with the use of a damp cloth. If you want to have your garage door tracks lubricated, there are certain brands that are best for your garage door’s material so it is best to ask for professional assistance in this area.

Garage doors are much safer these days than they used to be. That is especially true of garage doors equipped with garage door openers. Older garage door openers did not have the kinds of safety features that would stop them from closing on a child or a pet wandering on or out of the garage while it is closed. However, improvements in safety haven’t eliminated safety concerns when it comes to garage doors. In this context, when the garage door sensors are not functioning properly, this may be due to the fact that the sensors are knocked out of line. Garage door repairs for this will require realigning by pushing the sensors in the right position. The correct position of the sensors would be directly facing each other. There are lights that would blink in case problems arise.

Take time to learn about simple garage door repairs by asking your trusted technician about the basics.
