Gaps Between the Ground and Your Garage Door

Overall Convenience

Let’s face it, your garage is uber convenient. You escape the ultra hot, cold, and even the rain and snow by entering and exiting your home and car via your garage.

If your garage door is broken due to a lack of upkeep, it could just make your next return trip from the grocery store during the winter quite the challenge. Being stuck in the cold elements unable to access your warm home and put your vehicle away safely are just two of the major disadvantages. 

 

Avoid Unexpected Repairs

Annual garage maintenance helps to minimize unnecessary expenses throughout the year and ensures your garage door is in perfect working condition all year round. Simple preventative maintenance, such as lubricating moving parts, can go a long way to prevent garage door failures down the road.



Are your Sensors Working Properly?

If your garage door is opening and shutting in an irregular manner, your sensors may need to be cleaned or realigned. We also suggest clearing clutter from around the sensors. If an item is in the way of the door, the sensors will prevent the door from closing.

 

Keeping Rust at Bay

Your garage door has many cables and springs. If any of them become damaged or rusty due to a lack of annual maintenance, these components could eventually fail. Taking action now can save you a lot of time and money on future repairs because garage door issues, if left unaddressed, can often cascade and affect other components.
