Schedule OnlineCommon Garage Door Issues
Garage doors are made up of moving parts and safety features that wear down over time. Some of the most common issues we resolve include:
- Broken or stretched torsion springs
- Damaged rollers or tracks
- Off-track doors
- Cables that are frayed or disconnected
- Loud grinding or squealing during operation
- Garage door opener not responding
- Door reverses before closing
- Weather seal damage or misalignment
Even small issues can lead to more serious problems if left unchecked. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to schedule a professional inspection.
Is It Time to Replace?
Not all garage door problems require full replacement but, in some cases, a new door may be more cost-effective than ongoing repairs.
You may want to consider replacing if:
- Your garage door is over 20 years old
- You’ve had multiple repairs in recent years
- The door is visibly cracked, warped, or rotted
- It lacks modern safety features
- The system is noisy or unreliable despite repairs
We’ll always walk you through the options. If your door can be repaired safely and affordably, we’ll let you know. If a replacement makes more sense, we’ll help you find a model that fits your needs and budget.
Proper Garage Door Usage
Taking care of your garage door between professional tune-ups can help extend its lifespan and reduce the need for repairs.
Here are a few ways to avoid common problems:
- Don’t ignore strange sounds or movements as they often signal worn parts
- Keep tracks clean and free of debris
- Avoid slamming the door shut manually
- Schedule yearly maintenance to catch early signs of wear
- Don’t attempt spring or cable repairs yourself. These can be dangerous
- Check your opener batteries and remote functionality regularly
A little awareness goes a long way. If something feels off, don’t wait until it stops working completely.
