Garage Door Repair and Service

Think about how often you use your garage door. For most people, you’re operating it every day. Whether you’re leaving for work and reversing out or you’re putting your car in out of the rain.

While nobody wants to think about the garage door breaking, it does happen with constant use. But the good news is that there are some issues you can fix yourself, while others are easy for a professional to repair.

Using a Professional Garage Repairman Vs. DIY

You’ve got two options when it comes to garage repair; you fix it yourself or you call in the professionals. It’ll depend on what the problem is and what option you take.

For example, garage opener repair is a job you may be able to do yourself. If you find that your garage door doesn’t open when you use the remote control or the wall switch, you can try different things. Simply, try standing closer to the garage door to see if you were out of range. If the remote doesn’t work but the wall switch does, perhaps replace the batteries and see if that solves the problem. If it still doesn’t work, a professional will be able to assist you.

fixing gagage doorWhen the garage door is making strange noises, this could indicate a problem with the tracks. They could be misaligned, your doors might be able to move, but it sounds strained. The doors could also slow down, indicating where the problem is. You may be able to loosen the screws and use a rubber mallet to realign the tracks. If this doesn’t work or you can’t identify the issue, a professional can do this for you safely.

Is your garage door sticking? Perhaps it’s completely stuck and won’t open? Before you panic, there may be something you can do. First of all, take a look at the wheel tracks. There may be debris or some type of obstruction in the way that is causing the problem. Your garage door might just be in need of some lubrication. This should be something you do on a regular basis to the moving parts. It doesn’t take long and it can save you a lot of trouble later on. Plus, it will stop screeching and annoying noises.

If you’re having the opposite problem, in that your garage door doesn’t stay open, this is when you call in the professionals. This can be due to faulty springs and the problem is that it can be dangerous to fix if you don’t know what you’re doing. But a trained professional in garage door repair can do this without any issues. A garage door that shuts too quickly is also a danger to you and your family – call Powell Garage Doors to have sorted as soon as possible.

things to know before installing garage door openerWhen you’ve got electronic components on your garage door, there is a risk they may need to be fixed after a while. For example, automatic doors often have a safety eye. This is a smart sensor that will make sure nothing is in the way of the door before it closes. So, if there was something in the way, this would mean your garage door won’t close properly. Always check nothing is in the way of the sensor. In some cases, it may be out of alignment and a professional can fix this.

Issues with the rollers can happen too. One way to maintain them is to inspect the rollers a couple of times a year. You can check for any cracks or chips that might cause a problem. Using your garage door every day can cause wear and tear. If you notice any damage, a professional can repair them before it gets worse.

Something you can do yourself is replace any weatherstripping. This is often included at the base of your garage door, keeping the elements out of your garage. If you notice it has become brittle or there are cracks and damage, it’s time for some new weatherstrips to be installed. You can easily purchase this from DIY stores and you can simply cut it to size and attach it to your garage door. It won’t take long and it can save rain and debris from getting into your garage.
