The garage door on your Canadian home makes it
convenient to have a place to park your car to
protect it from the elements. Homeowners also use
their garages as play areas for their children,
storage, workshops, arts and crafts rooms, and
other purposes.

Yet if you do not carefully have regular garage
door maintenance performed, the door you trust to
be reliant can become a safety risk for you, your
loved ones and your property. It is important to
take the time to familiarize yourself with garage
door basics, a topic we covered in a previous
blog post.

The spring or cables could snap causing personal
injuries. It is better to call on a professional
garage door technician if you are having problems
with your door.

other loud noises? Modern garage doors are
designed to operate at very low noise levels.

If you are hearing unusual sounds when opening or
closing the door, it could indicate something is
getting ready to fail. For instance a clicking
sound could indicate a problem with the spring
tension or a spring that is getting ready to snap
and break, which can cause serious bodily
injuries.

What can I do to keep my children safe? Remember
to have garage door sensors installed at the
ground level.

These sensors will stop the door from closing or
opening if something is preventing them from
communicating with each other. In addition, have
the automatic opener control button installed at
a height small children cannot easily reach.

Furthermore, take the time to educate your
children about proper safety. For example, your
children need to ask a parent to open and close
the door for them. Remind them to do not play
underneath the door, even when it is open.

How often does a garage door need inspected? You
should get into the habit of doing a
self-inspection of the garage door once a month.

14
This self-inspection merely involves opening and
closing the dooring and monitoring how the door
operates. If you hear any strange sounds or
something seems off, then it is time to call a
garage door technician for further
troubleshooting and repair assistance.

How often does the door need to be
replaced? There is no set timeframe as it is
entirely up to the homeowner. With proper care
and regular maintenance a garage door can last
anywhere from ten to fifteen years or longer.
