Common Garage Door Problems

There are a wide variety of reasons that you may be having trouble with your garage door not opening or closing properly. Some of the first signs of trouble are scratching or squeaking sounds, and/or a slow garage door reaction time, (i.e., you have to press the opener longer, or when it does begin to open or close, it is at a far slower pace or seems to almost fall down, or the garage door sensors are simply not functioning). It is important to keep an eye on how your garage door is behaving- if you can catch the problem sooner than later, it will not only save you money and time, but it will also increase the odds of not having to replace the garage door completely.

5 Common Garage Door Malfunction Culprits

1. Faulty Garage Door Openers- Sometimes the problem is not with the garage door hardware itself, but is actually related to the electric garage door opener and/or the garage door remote control. These problems are primarily due to electrical or battery-related issues. In some cases it is recommended that you try changing the battery in your remote control, however it poses a safety concern since it can be dangerous to deal with electric hardware on your own…(learn more about our solutions to these issues).
2. Garage Door Jams- It can be difficult to diagnose the source of the garage door jam without consulting with our professionals. The signs of a jam are pretty obvious- you will see that your door is stuck in place and just will not open or close properly; it is important to not open or close the door on your own. There is a risk of injury when trying to work with this heavy machinery…(learn more about our solutions to these issues).
3. Garage Doors Off Track- Garage doors that are off track will often make a scratching sound that is hard to miss. If you suspect the door is off track- STOP using it immediately and please consider giving our experts a call! Operating a door that you suspect may be off track can cause irreparable damage to the track and/or panels, which could lead to needing a full garage replacement…(learn more about our solutions to these issues).
4. Broken Garage Door Springs- Despite the amount of machinery inside the automatic opener, the springs do the heavy lifting on your garage door. Acting like a stretched rubber band when the door is down, it is the tension of the spring that does 90 percent of the lifting. So if your spring or springs are shot, the garage door opener will become overworked and will eventually be much more costly to replace…(learn more about our solutions to these issues).
5. Damaged Panels- Damaged garage door panels aren’t just unattractive- it can also lead to further damage of your garage door hardware, especially your track. A wobbly or dented door will cause strain and is probable to ruin an otherwise properly functioning garage…(learn more about out solutions to these issues).

Garage Door Maintenance Tips

1. Lubricating Squeaky Doors- It is best to use a lithium or silicone based spray lubricant to prevent squeaky garage doors. The parts of the garage door that are recommended to lubricate include the rails, stems, hinges, metal rollers, bearings, bars and nubs.
2. Cleaning Garage Door Tracks- When cleaning the garage door track you are not lubricating it! This process is pretty simple, just use a damp rag to clean any dirt or grime. It is important to do this in order to avoid the build-up of these damaging materials which can harden and affect your garage door to go off track.
3. Resetting Garage Door Openers- Resetting a garage door can help tackle little issues like a garage door suddenly opening up again as you are trying to close it. The basic steps to resetting garage doors are to shut off the power, wait about 10 seconds, and then turn the power back on.
