5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD REPLACE YOUR GARAGE DOOR

• Helping to protect our homes and vehicles and
  with the ability to add significant curb appeal
  to a property, garages are an important element
  of any home, and as such, should be maintained as
  best as possible. However, even if you dont use
  your garage frequently, the door can develop a
  variety of problems, some more serious and
  warranting immediate attention, than others.
• Below are some common garage door problems along
  with indications as to when/if you should
  consider replacing it

• It moves slowly
• There are several factors that can cause a garage
  door to move slowly, here are 3 of the most
  common
• The garage door is old
• Much as with humans, when your garage door gets
  old, it doesnt move so easily! One of the most
  common elements of a garage door that can show
  signs of age quicker than others are the torsion
  springs if theyre not working as effectively,
  they may need to be replaced.

• The door has been programmed to open at that
  speed
• Check the owners manual to find out if the door
  has been programmed to open and close at a
  particular speed if in doubt, consult your local
  garage door specialist.
• Lack of lubrication
• Routine lubrication of rollers, hinges and tracks
  is vital for the smooth and efficient opening of
  your garage door. If after lubrication, the door
  still opens slowly, you may need to seek
  professional help.

5

• It jerks and jolt when closing
• Too much shaking and shuddering of the door can
  quickly lead to a bigger problem, such as loose
  screws and hinges, or rollers going off their
  tracks. Schedule an assessment from a
  professional to determine whether your door can
  be fixed, or whether you need to replace it.
• Its beginning to come off track
• When rollers come off their tracks, this can
  spell danger and youll need to get them repaired
  by a professional right away if any of the below
  have occurred

• Horizontal tracks are not aligned with the
  vertical rails
• A lift cable has snapped
• Rollers are worn or broken
• A vehicle has hit the door
• The door is unbalanced
• If the garage door is uneven or appears to be
  sagging, then you might have a problem with
  balance. If this is the case, youll need to get
  professional help to locate and solve the
  problem, as it can cause a spring to snap and
  cause harm to persons or objects.

• The garage door opener is broken
• There are typically two reasons for a broken
  garage door opener malfunctions with the logic
  board and stripped nylon gears. Since these
  problems can be costly to repair, it makes sense
  to replace the opener. However, this doesnt
  usually mean that youll need to replace your
  garage door just the opener.
• Knowing whether your garage door has a problem
  that can be fixed is not always easy for the
  untrained individual, so reach out to a
  professional garage door specialist if youre not
  sure.
