Investing in garage door maintenance can help you get the best performance from your garage door
If you want to get the most out of your garage door, regular maintenance is key. Some maintenance services really should be done monthly, but at a bare minimum every garage door owner should get maintenance service at least once per year. If it’s been a while since your last garage door maintenance visit, your garage door may not be performing like it should. Protect yourself against inferior performance, unexpected parts failures, and premature garage door failure by calling Carroll Garage Doors for service today. Here are the three key components of every maintenance visit from Carroll Garage Doors.
Inspection
Every maintenance visit begins with an inspection so that we can verify that all moving parts and safety features are in proper working condition. We perform several tests including a door balance test, a reversing mechanism test, a photo eye sensor test, a force setting test, and a battery test. We make any minor adjustments that may be needed to recalibrate parts to their proper settings, but if any parts need to be replaced, we will notify you first.
Tune Up
Our expert garage door technicians also include tune up service in every maintenance visit. This includes cleaning any dust or debris out of the opener motor, tightening any loose screws, chains, hinges, or brackets, and lubricating parts as needed. Our tune up service can correct many annoying garage door problems such as noisy garage doors, sticky or uneven opening motion, or unreliable opening and closing.
Preventative Repairs
An annual maintenance visit is the ideal time to make preventative repairs designed to improve the performance and extend the lifespan of your garage door. During the inspection, our technicians will note any parts that may be worn or damaged. If you agree, we will replace these parts for you. This can help prevent you from experiencing a sudden garage door problem in the future and needing emergency repair service. For example, we can replace your worn garage door springs before they break. This can save your garage door from becoming seriously damaged if the springs broke while the door was in motion. It can also save you the time and trouble of a separate service visit, and prepare your garage door for years of reliable service in the future.
