Garage Door Opener – A Garage Door Essential

The garage door is something that can be taken for granted. It is used everyday. Each morning when you go to work, you open it. Your spouse may also drive out everyday, and teenage kids use it all the time. Maybe you have a twin garage or larger.

You don’t realize how important it is until things start to go wrong.  If the doors are made from metal, they start to buckle. Closing them starts getting difficult.  Panels start to fall off from a wooden door. The locks become difficult to use. You should also remember, especially if you have a connecting

door inside your house to the garage, that you could be sending a signal to a potential burglar. They then see your property as potential easy picking.

In general, a lack of maintenance will not do you any favor when it comes to selling your property or with house insurance. As such, you are left with two options. You can either let everything fall apart and shell out a lot of money in replacing your garage doors or you can look at maintaining them. Again, there are two ways forward. You do this yourself or you call in a competent company to do this for you.

Remember that this will save you money too.  If you\re from Katy, TX, call on Gold Coin Garage Door Repairs, as we can provide you with the comprehensive maintenance service that suits your needs.

Gold Coin Garage Door Repair – The Best Garage Door Opener Maintenance

Modern garage doors  have features that are potentially dangerous. The cables and springs used in them are held under high tension. If these are released by accident, they could cause  injuries. Many doors mainly use electricity. As such, unless the supply is isolated, touching the bare wires will deliver  a bad shock. Care needs to be taken in opening and closing garage doors.  This electric shock can easily catch your hands, feet or body, if they are sprung open or closed.

A visual inspection is best done monthly. If you detect a problem, it is best to call in a qualified handy man. Apart from the general appearance of your garage door,  there are a number of points that will need monitoring. These are your spring cables, pulleys, rollers, and mountings. Again, this is a visual inspection. If you notice something wrong, call in the experts. Do not attempt to do anything by yourself.  This could be signs of wear, fraying, and damage.

A lot of modern garage doors will use remote transmitter systems for opening and closing the door. This should be checked once a month as well. To check, start with the door open. Press the transmitter to close it. If  it closes, then lift up the bottom of the garage door to see if it closes again. If it does not, there is a problem with the sensors, or it could close with a big bang.  This force setting test shows there is a problem.

Garage Door Opener Maintenance – Springs

The importance of springs should not be underestimated. There are two main types of springs that are used in garage doors. These are torsion springs and extension springs. 

A torsion spring works under a twisting force while an extension spring is subjected to pulling and pushing forces. All steel springs will eventually harden, that is, if they lose their “springy” properties. Constant use will also “harden” them. In the worst case scenario, they could snap;  thus, resulting in the garage door getting stuck. It could also mean that the door could crash down. This may damage your car underneath and may cause serious harm to anyone under it.

Again, do not attempt to replace any of these springs yourself, as they are under high tension. Leave them to the experts.

Mechanical forces can eventually cause wear and tear in other components, such as the rollers and tracking. This is why you need to have your garage doors constantly checked by a professional company. They understand and have experience in dealing with all these matters.

Wear and tear can be predicted. This will depend upon how often the doors are opened. A regular date can be set for the routine replacements of any worn or potentially worn part.

Garage doors are an important part of our lives. Regular maintenance also makes sense economically, as repairing and replacing the whole garage door could prove very expensive.
