Garage Door FAQ – Your Questions Answered
1. How often should I service my garage door?
It’s recommended to have a professional garage door tune-up at least once a year to ensure smooth operation, prevent wear and tear, and catch potential issues early.
2. Why is my garage door making loud noises?
Loud noises could indicate loose hardware, worn-out rollers, or lack of lubrication. A professional inspection can identify and fix the problem before it worsens.
3. What should I do if my garage door won’t open or close?
First, check the power source, remote batteries, and safety sensors. If the problem persists, it could be due to a broken spring, misaligned tracks, or a malfunctioning opener—call a professional for repairs.
4. How long do garage door springs last?
Torsion springs typically last 10,000 cycles, which translates to 7-10 years of normal use. If your garage door springs are worn or broken, they should be replaced immediately to prevent further damage.
5. Can I replace just one garage door spring?
While it’s possible, it’s recommended to replace both springs at the same time to ensure balanced operation and prevent uneven wear.
6. What are the signs that my garage door opener needs replacement?
If your opener is over 10 years old, makes excessive noise, struggles to lift the door, or lacks modern safety features, it may be time for an upgrade.
