Garage Door Preventive Maintenance

Most garage door breakdowns give warnings first: a new noise, a slight hesitation, a door that feels a little heavier. Preventive maintenance is about catching those warnings while they are still small.

Buford Garage Door Fix provides garage door preventive maintenance for homeowners in Buford, Georgia, giving the whole system a careful once over so it keeps running the way it should.

Good times to book a tune up

You cannot remember the last one

If the door has never been serviced, a baseline check is worthwhile.

New noises

Squeaks and rattles are often the first sign of wear.

Moving into a home

A tune up tells you what condition the door is really in.

Before heavy use seasons

Busy months with lots of door cycles deserve a healthy door.

What a maintenance visit includes

A maintenance visit covers lubrication of hinges, rollers, bearings and springs; tightening of loose hardware; inspection of cables, drums and tracks; and a balance check to confirm the springs are doing their job.

The opener gets attention too: travel limits, force settings, and safety sensor alignment are tested, along with the auto reverse function. If anything needs repair, you will hear about it with a clear explanation.

Simple checks between visits

Watch and listen

Run the door and watch it move. Uneven travel, jerks or new sounds are worth noting.

Test the reverse

Placing a soft object like a roll of paper towels in the door path should make a closing door reverse. If it does not, stop using the opener and call.
