Homeowners rely on their garage door to open
smoothly and close securely each and every time they use it. These heavy doors
cause problems, however, if they fail at their job. Four of the most common
garage door problems do not require a call to an expensive professional. Learn some
of the garage door repairs and keep your house and cars secure.
1.
Garage door spring problems. Garage door torsion
springs are the most common part to break on a garage door because they
simply wear out over time. When your springs wear out, replacing them is
not a DIY-friendly repair; contact a garage door specialist for a thorough
inspection.
2.
Faulty door track problems. If this is the
problem then you will be able to tell by seeing if your garage door rollers are
literally off track. If your garage door panels are not damaged, then you do
not need to replace your garage door. However, the rollers do need to be put
back on the track which should be done by a professional.
3.
Broken garage door hinges. When you can plainly
see you have a broken garage door hinge or hinges, do not operate door until
door is repaired. The garage door hinges that run up the left and right hand
side of garage door will cause the most damage because the door panels come
apart from each other and cause all kinds of problems with the door and door
opener.
4.
Garage door clicker and opener do not work. There’s
usually an LED light display that will either alert you of the battery life or
help you diagnose another problem with the garage door sensor or car remote,
but always check the batteries first. The solution could be as simple as
putting in a fresh pair of batteries. If that doesn’t help, consult your owner’s
manual. Usually issues that arise with just the car remote are the quickest and
easiest to fix. In a worst case scenario, you may just have to reprogram your
remote to signal correctly to the motor.
Maintenance and repairs on a regular basis cut down
costs on garage door repairs in the future. Thus, it is best to plan ahead
before furnishing your home.
