When Should You Get Your Garage Door Serviced?
2

• For many American households, garages are an
  essential element of their home, and whether
  theyre used for storing vehicles in or as a
  workshop or even a gym, the garage door gets a
  lot of daily use. With this in mind, its
  important to regularly maintain it so that it
  continues to perform its function after all,
  theres nothing more irritating or inconvenient
  than a garage you cant get into. Not only that,
  but garage doors are large and heavy, and if they
  malfunction due to a lack of regular servicing
  and maintenance, they can cause serious harm to
  you, anyone else using it, and even your pets.

• How often should you check the function of your
  garage door?
• You might think it enough to simply get your
  garage door fixed when it experiences a problem,
  but if you keep a close eye on your door and run
  a few simple checks every month, you might be
  able to prevent the problem from occurring in the
  first place, and save yourself a whole lot of
  expense and inconvenience.
• Listen for any odd noises coming from your door
  as it opens and closes, cast your eye over the
  seal to check that its intact, and make sure
  that you still open your door manually, should
  you need to.

• Reduce the risk of criminal entry with monthly
  checks
• Any potential issues with your garage door can
  mean that it isnt as secure as it could be, and
  it only takes one opportunistic criminal to test
  it on a day when it isnt working, and theyve
  gained entry to your garage and possibly even
  your home.
• Carry out quick but thorough monthly checks and
  if you spot anything untoward, reach out to your
  local garage door specialist as soon as possible.

• How often should you schedule a service?
• While the regular checks you perform are
  important, they should never be a substitute for
  a full service, and even if you havent seen any
  potential issues with your garage door, an expert
  such as a licensed locksmith or other trained
  service technician, should still check it over
  and carry out any necessary maintenance work or
  repairs to keep it performing well, for longer.

• What happens during a service?
• The garage door technician will examine every
  mechanical element of the garage door in detail,
  and tighten up any loose bolts or other parts
  that may have become loose. They will also
  examine the rollers and springs for any signs of
  warping or bending, and lubricate the tracks to
  help prevent unnecessary wear.
• When should you schedule a garage door service?
• If your door isnt functioning as it should, then
  a service should be scheduled right away to
  prevent it from malfunctioning altogether. But if
  you simply want your door checked over by an
  expert to keep it working well (and save you
  money in the long term), then its best to
  schedule it for some time during the fall, before
  the winter weather kicks in.

• Whenever you choose to have your garage door
  serviced, always make sure you select an
  experienced technician or locksmith who deals
  with garage doors, and if they recommend repairs
  or replacements of certain elements, its
  generally best to heed their advice.
