Why Regular Garage Door Maintenance Matters

Your garage doors are often the largest moving parts on your property and play a crucial role in security, efficiency, and curb appeal. Wear and tear compromises your garage door’s functionality and safety — especially in high-use or heavy-duty settings. 

Signs You Need Professional Garage Door Maintenance

If you don’t remember the last time your garage door system was professionally serviced or if you see any of these warning signs, it’s time to give us a call: 

  • Increased noise during operation 
  • Jerky or uneven movement
  • Delayed response from the opener
  • Safety sensors malfunctioning
  • Visible damage to springs, rollers, or cables

What Our Garage Door Maintenance Services Include

Gator Garage Door Repair provides a multipoint inspection and service selection with every maintenance call to your property. Our skilled and experienced technicians inspect, adjust, and repair every component as needed to maintain optimal performance.

As part of our maintenance services, we provide: 

  • Thorough inspection. We conduct a detailed diagnostic inspection of all components, including cables, springs, tracks, and rollers. That way, we can identify potential issues before they lead to larger problems.
  • Expert lubrication. We use premium industrial-grade lubricants to reduce friction, minimize wear, and ensure smooth, quiet operation. 
  • Spring tension adjustment. Misaligned or uneven spring tension stains the opener motor and components, leading to premature wear. We test and adjust springs to restore balance and improve performance.
  • Safety sensor testing. Malfunctioning safety sensors are significant hazards to people and property. We’ll calibrate and test these sensors and other safety features.   
  • Roller replacement and track alignment. Damaged rollers and misaligned tracks impair the smooth operation and cause additional wear. We provide high-quality replacement rollers and precisely adjusted tracks. 
  • Cable inspection. Frayed or worn cables compromise the door’s integrity and safe operation. When necessary, we recommend replacements using superior modern cable materials designs. 
  • Weatherstripping and hardware maintenance. We’ll check and replace worn weatherstripping to seal your interior space from the elements. Inspecting and tightening all bolts, brackets, and hinges promises a secure fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Type of Lubricant Should I Use on My Garage Door Between Service Visits?

The lubricants we recommend for your garage door between service visits would be silicone-based or lithium-based formulations, which are specifically designed for garage doors. Avoid grease or WD-40, which attract dirt and grime.

How Do Safety Sensors Work?

Safety sensors work by using infrared beams to detect obstructions in the door’s path. The door will then reverse to prevent accidents or damage.

How Does Garage Door Maintenance Improve Energy Efficiency?

Our professional garage door maintenance improves energy efficiency by: 

  • Sealing gaps with proper weatherstripping
  • Ensuring smooth operation
  • Addressing insulation issues early 
How Often Should I Schedule Garage Door Maintenance?

We recommend scheduling your garage door maintenance sessions annually. For systems that face heavier demands, such as in commercial or industrial settings, twice-annual service is safer.
