hire a professional residential garage door
technician for garage door repairs for the
following reasons Reason 1 Safety Garage
doors are connected to the door tracks with
cables and huge springs. It is extremely
dangerous to be near the door when a cable snaps
or the spring breaks. Not to mention, the weight
of the door is a concern. Reason 2 Avoid
Causing Further Damages You could cause more
harm than good when attempting DIY garage door
repairs. Sure, some things are very simple, like
replacing the batteries in your garage door
remotes. However, other repairs can be much more
complex. For instance, if the door isnt
opening and closing, and the emergency
release hasnt been pulled, it is often an
electrical problem. There could be a short
in a wire or a poor connection on the openers
circuit board. The last thing you want is to get
shocked or potentially overload the opener. Not
to mention, attempting to fix one problem could
cause others. Therefore, it is better to leave
garage door repairs to a professional garage door
technician. Reason 3 Peace of Mind Using a
professional garage door technician means
your garage door repairs are performed
correctly. You will not have to worry about
something not being done correctly. Most
importantly, your garage door technician will let
you know when it is time to start thinking about
replacing your existing garage door or opener
with a new one. Reason 4 Your Garage Door
Lasts Longer Garage doors and garage door
openers do eventually wear out. A
professional garage door technician helps you
get the most life out of the door and
opener through regular annual or bi-annual
maintenance. Preventive maintenance ensures
the door and opener are operating
correctly, are lubricated, and identifies
potential problems before they become major
repairs.
