Sometimes it is obvious when you need garage door repair. For example, your garage door won’t open/close or it’s completely off its track. And, other times, it is less obvious. Is your garage door making more noise than usual? Or maybe it’s opening and closing a bit slower than it normally does. If so, it may be time you called us for trusted, reliable garage door repair in Roscoe. But here are a few things you can do on your own first:
Inspection
One of the best things you can do for your garage doors is to have them inspected by professionals like the ones at Garage Door Services. You should have an inspection done at least once a year to prevent certain repairs down the line. We can determine if there is anything that needs to be replaced and we know how to safely and effectively perform garage door repair.
Check the Garage Door Opener
If your garage door is being noisy or not working, check the garage door opener. First, check the power. If it’s not an electrical problem, it could be a broken gear or a worn bearing. We can diagnose the issue and get it fixed for you. While you still might need to call us for garage door repair, lubricating the opener can sometimes help reduce the amount of noise the opener makes.
Check the Springs
This is the most common type of garage door repair. Springs should never be adjusted by those who are not properly trained to perform the task or who don’t have the proper tools. When garage door springs break, it is definitely best to call the professionals to come in for garage door repair. Trying to fix these on your own can result in injuries or worse.
Check the Hinges
Hinges are another part of your garage door that can wear out over time. A little silicone spray might help them, but if that doesn’t work, it could be the bearings need to be replaced. We can replace hinges on all garage doors, whether it’s made of steel, wood or aluminum.
Check the Rollers
Garage door rollers are another cause for garage door repair. Check to see if the metal rollers are rubbing against the metal track. They should be, but sometimes you can get them replaced with nylon ball bearings, and this can help cut back on noise and other related issues.
