The Importance of Regular Garage Door Maintenance

Regular maintenance on your garage door is vital for several reasons. First, it enhances the safety of your property by ensuring all components are functioning correctly. A well-maintained garage door minimizes the risk of accidents or malfunctions, which can lead to costly repairs or damage. Second, routine maintenance can extend the life of your garage door system, allowing for continued smooth operation over time.

Many homeowners overlook the impact a faulty garage door can have on their daily routines. Imagine being unable to access your vehicle due to a jammed door during the morning rush.

FAQs on Garage Door Maintenance

Why Is Regular Garage Door Maintenance Necessary?

Regular maintenance ensures your garage door operates smoothly and safely. It reduces the risk of unexpected malfunctions, which can lead to costly emergency repairs. Maintenance also extends the lifespan of the door and its components, saving you money in the long term. By addressing minor issues before they become major problems, you ensure the door functions reliably and safely.

How Often Should I Schedule Garage Door Maintenance?

We recommend scheduling maintenance at least once a year. However, if your garage door is subject to heavy usage or extreme weather conditions, more frequent inspections may be necessary. Routine maintenance can often be scheduled alongside seasonal home maintenance activities, ensuring your garage door in St. Joseph County remains in top condition.

Additionally, new homeowners or those living in older houses might consider more frequent checks initially to ensure any existing issues are promptly addressed. By doing so, they create a solid maintenance schedule moving forward, customized to the specific needs of their garage door system.

What Are Common Signs That My Garage Door Needs Maintenance?

Common signs include unusual noises, slower operation, the door not closing fully, or the presence of rust or wear on components. If the door feels heavy or unbalanced, it might be time for a professional check-up. Addressing these issues early can prevent them from escalating into larger problems.

An additional indicator might be an increase in energy bills if your garage serves as an entryway to your home. A malfunctioning door might not seal properly, causing drafts or heat loss. This not only affects your comfort but also impacts your energy efficiency.

Can I Perform Garage Door Maintenance Myself?

While homeowners can perform basic tasks like visual inspections and lubrication, more technical maintenance should be handled by professionals. Our technicians at Fawley Overhead Door, Inc. are equipped to safely manage repairs and ensure compliance with safety standards, mitigating the risk of injury or damage.

Does Maintenance Affect My Garage Door Warranty?

Regular maintenance often complements and extends the effectiveness of your warranty. Many warranties require proof of ongoing maintenance to remain valid. At Fawley Overhead Door, Inc., we provide detailed records of all work completed, so you can maintain comprehensive coverage and peace of mind.

Our FAQ

Common Answers To Your Questions
  • What is the Life Expectancy of a Garage Door?

    The average life expectancy of a garage door is 15-30 years. To help extend this lifespan, we recommend scheduling annual garage door maintenance. This keeps your garage door parts running more smoothly, delaying the need for repairs or replacement. You can also wash and repaint your garage door exterior periodically to get the longest possible lifespan out of your garage door.

  • What Causes Garage Doors to Break?

    The two main causes of a broken garage door are lack of maintenance and accidents with vehicles. The most important garage door maintenance steps include lubricating the rollers, bearings, pulleys, and springs once a year and making proper adjustments to the counterbalance system to maintain the door’s balance. If an accident happens with your garage door, it’s important to (269) 443-1093">call quickly for repairs. We offer same-day garage door service near Portage & Kalamazoo, MI!

  • How Long Do Garage Door Springs Last?

    The average spring breaks after 7 to 12 years with typical usage, lasting 10-15,000 cycles, depending on the type of spring. A “cycle” is one full opening and closing of the door. If a garage door has two or more springs and one breaks, then you should have all the springs replaced to maintain proper balance. Be sure to check our Garage Door Spring Repair page for more information.

  • What Garage Door Maintenance Do You Recommend?

    Although you should always let a certified professional take care of major garage door repairs, there are some garage door maintenance steps you can take.

    – Lubricate your garage or overhead door track every six months using a silicone-based lubricant.
    – Clean the weather stripping with vinyl cleaner and lubricate it every few months.
    – Monitor your garage door operation, listening for unusual noises or movements that could indicate a problem.
    – If you have a painted door, periodically repaint the exterior to help protect it from weathering and update the look of your home.
