How Often Should a Door be Serviced?
It is professionally recommended that you have your garage door serviced at least once a year, especially if you use it frequently.

The torsion springs are responsible for supporting the weight of the door and making it easy to lift and lower, and if they become worn or damaged, they can break suddenly, causing the door to fall or become stuck. Regular maintenance on the springs helps to ensure they are in good condition, reducing the risk of accidents and prolonging the lifespan of the door, so be sure to schedule spring torsion maintenance for your garage door.
-
The sensors on a garage door are responsible for detecting objects in the door's path and stopping the door from closing if something is in the way. If the sensors are misaligned, the door may close on an object, causing damage or injury, so it's important to have them regularly checked and realigned as needed to ensure the door operates safely and effectively.

Garage door re-alignment and balancing is a regular service that helps keep your door operating smoothly and efficiently. Over time, the door can become misaligned, which can cause the door to shake or fall, or cause damage to the tracks, opener, or other components. Re-alignment and balancing services help to restore the door to its proper position, reducing the risk of accidents and prolonging the lifespan of the door, so be sure to schedule this service as part of your regular garage door maintenance.

Garage Door Safety
Mount the garage door opener management button out of the reach of children (at least 5 feet from the floor) and wherever you have got a good view of the door.
Ensure your children stay clear of the garage door during operation. Also, make sure the controls are out of their reach until they’re responsible enough to use them.
It’s good practice to test your garage door opener’s reversing mechanism monthly. Test it by placing a short object under it and let the door close on it. If it doesn’t immediately reverse, contact us.
Review your owner’s manual.
Inspect your door for any damage. Doing this monthly and after times like rain and hail storms will ensure the long-term integrity of your garage door.
Always refer to us when needing repair on any parts of your garage.
