Ardmore Homeowners and Garage Door Maintenance

Regular maintenance will also help you extend the life of your garage door and prevent occasional repairs. Maintenance for Ardmore Homeowners

• Lubrication: Springs, rollers, and hinges move when a garage door is lowered or lifted. Lubing tends to reduce this noise and keep moisture out of joints in moving parts thus extending their life.
•  
• Ensure Door is Balanced: An unbalanced door adds additional strain to the garage door opener and the springs. To test the balance, try to open the door halfway. If it pulls out, give it a little nudge so that it begins to snap in place.
•  
• Look for Signs of Damage: Be on the lookout for rusty springs, frayed cables, and worn rollers. To that end, the best way to avoid very expensive repairs is by dealing with those problems early.
•  
• The Tracks are Dirty: If there is a build-up of dirt, dust, and other debris in the tracks this problem will prevent the door from moving straight up and down correctly. They need to be cleaned periodically.
•  
• Book Annual Tune-Ups: An annual check-in from a pro can help catch small problems before they snowball. Basic Services: This service is basically like a tune-up, offering inspections and lubrication.
