Garage Door Maintenance for All of Vancouver, WA
A garage door or opener that lasts forever without maintenance and occasional repairs is unheard of. Every door requires regular checkups and upkeep to combat natural wear and tear. Even one component on your door with rust, dents or other damage can be unsafe for you, family, neighbors, pets and other property. Garage doors are heavy and their springs pack a lot of tension, so faulty parts can easily be a problem for the rest of the door or the surrounding area.
Call TF Draper to handle any of the following preventative maintenance:
- Visual inspection: The first step is a visual checkup by an experienced professional. Springs, cables, rollers, mounting hardware, pulleys, tracks and other garage door parts can warp or acquire other wear and tear damage that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.
- Balance test: Balance is essential with your garage door if you want it to rise and close without any hiccups. The door should be disconnected from the opener and inspected with manual lifting. If it is excessively heavy, comes down unevenly or gets stuck in the process, there could be a problem with the springs.
- Automatic reversal system check: This is an important safety feature that keeps the door from closing if something is in its path. A piece of wood in the door’s path is the perfect test — the door should stop and reverse. If it doesn’t, there’s a problem.
- Lubrication: Almost every moving part in every garage door system needs proper lubrication to maintain functionality. Rollers, springs, chains and screws without lubrication will most likely work for a lot less time and need replacement much sooner.
- Tune-ups: Our technicians will tighten hinges, screws and bolts and clean and clear the tracks on your door.
- Repairs: If our inspection shows that any one of your garage door components needs a repair, we diagnose the problem and complete the work to get your door up and running correctly in no time.
- Replacements: Sometimes a spring, panel, cable or other component will be damaged beyond repair. We can replace these parts so you don’t end up needing to purchase an entirely new system. We also apply new rollers and weather-stripping when the parts are cracked, brittle or worn.
We will put together a maintenance schedule that suits your timeline. Putting off a repair can cause more damage than it’s worth. Maintaining your garage door is a worthwhile investment that will save you money in the long run. Don’t forget to pay close attention to your door throughout the year for signs like extra-slow operation, hesitation when you try to open the door, noticeable outward damage or strange sounds like clanking, creaking or squeaking.
If you notice anything amiss, don’t wait to contact TF Draper.
