Garage Door Issues

Modern garage doors come with several safety features, including:

• Auto-reverse mechanism: The door reverses direction if it detects an obstruction.
• Photo-eye sensors: These sensors prevent the door from closing if something is in its path.
• Manual release: Allows you to manually operate the door in case of a power outage.

Regular maintenance ensures these safety features function properly.

It’s recommended to schedule professional maintenance for your garage door at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps identify and fix minor issues before they become major problems, ensuring smooth and safe operation.

Signs that your garage door springs might need replacement include:

• The door feels heavy when lifting manually
• Visible gaps in the springs
• Springs look rusty or stretched
• Loud snapping noises

Garage door springs are under high tension and should only be replaced by a professional.

There are several reasons why your garage door might not be operating properly. Common issues include:

• Malfunctioning garage door opener
• Broken or worn-out springs
• Obstructed or misaligned tracks
• Dead remote batteries
• Sensor issues

Check for any obstructions or misalignments of the sensors or any blockages, bends or breaks in the wheel tracks. If these checks do not resolve the problem, it may be due to a broken cable or operator, which will require professional repair or replacement.

Our technicians can quickly diagnose and fix the problem to get your door working again.

A noisy garage door can be due to:
