The Important Things to Account for
You really want to make sure that you are doing what you can to maintain your garage door. Just like any other part of the house, your garage door needs routine checkups and maintenance. Here are some good ways to do that. Look and Listen every time that you use it. You will know if something is wrong just by paying attention to anything that sounds loose or unnatural in the process of opening and closing of your door.
Tighten anything that needs it because your garage door is used multiple times every week and sometimes everyday. Examine and tighten all brackets and bolts that rattle and replace ones that are worn. Inspect the balance and leveling of the door by checking it's proximity to the ground and also by bringing it up about halfway to see how well it stays in place. This helps tell if the spring are properly or improperly balanced. Then you can let us help you fix that. Have the rollers inspected and replaced if you notice that they are worn, chipped, or cracked. Replace weatherstripping because rain, snow, sun, and wind can all effect the stripped that not only protects the door, but protects what inside of your garage from any outside factors. Check cables for any frays or broken strands. Don't replace these on your own, but keep an eye out for what could be on the verge of breaking. Test it if you haven't used it in a while or do use it consistently. Keeping it idle for long periods of time can also be a danger. Clear the tracks because sometimes there are debris or random objects that can get up there and get in the way of the door doing its job. Examine the door for any damage or defaults to it that you might not have noticed. It's very easy for something to hit the door and hurt it without us paying attention to how it was impacted.
