Garage Door Maintenance Program


If you’re a homeowner with a garage door, how are you handling the maintenance of your garage door?

However, at Smyrna Garage Door Repair in Smyrna, GA we encourage you to have a maintenance plan in place so that you’re garage door will continue to function at optimum efficiency. It is also a good idea to allow qualified technicians from Smyrna Garage door Repair to perform an evaluation of your garage door annually to determine if there are any repairs that need to be made in order to continue to safely continue using your garage. Keeping your garage door in good condition will help you avoid the possibility of needing expense repairs made down the line.

While some homeowners we talk to have their garage door serviced more often than others, it is always suggested that you have your door serviced at least once a year. Those who do this more often are cautious due to the amount of use that their garage door receives. They probably factor in the amount of people living in the house and how often the garage door is opened and closed. Whether it is annually or semi-annually, our expert service technicians are happy to assist you whenever necessary. We would hate to hear of someone being harmed or killed due to a faulty garage door. You can avoid the possibility of this occurring by making sure that receive regular garage door maintenance.

You can do things, such as change remote control batteries and lubricating rollers, springs, and cables. However, a trained and qualified garage door technician should handle your more in-depth maintenance needs.
Maintenance Performed by a Professional Technician includes:

  • Tightening up of door hinges, couplings, drums, and track brackets
  • Lubricate rollers, hinges, chain hoists, release mechanisms and shaft bearings
  • Evaluate and adjust and align cables, tracks, and rollers

If there is a pattern of a reoccurring problem, this might need to be addressed sooner than later. It could be a problem that is caused by yourself or others in the household. We don’t want you to keep paying for the same problem to be resolved when it might be something you can avoid. Also, listen out for any unusual noises you might hear when using your garage and bring them to the attention of the service technician on their next scheduled maintenance call.
