- If your garage door is stuck and will not move up or down (this can be a sign of a broken cable or opener)
- If it sounds louder than usual, or if you are hearing a popping or grinding noise— this is often caused by misalignment
- If it’s out of alignment or has come off its rail
- If it doesn’t close properly, is sagging, or is out of balance— this can mean that a spring needs to be replaced
- If it’s responding slower than usual or takes more than a few seconds to open
To keep your doors working for years to come, it is vital that you stay ahead of the natural wear and tear and make sure that everything stays in working order. With the amount of opening and closing that your doors do on a daily basis, it’s inevitable that they will need servicing at some point. However, if you want to get as many years as possible out of your doors, regular maintenance, once or twice a year, is essential. This helps us pinpoint small problems before they grow to become more considerable. These periodical checkups also help prevent future incidents and keep your doors operating safely and reliably.
When it comes to garage door repair and safety, always rely on experts to lend a hand— garage doors are complex pieces of machinery and can often be dangerous to fix. Trust the experts and schedule consistent appointments with the service crews at your local Door Systems for the best residential garage door repairs and safety inspections.
