When to Get Your Garage Door Repaired

We understand that it can be tempting to ignore a few dings and dents on your garage door here and there. However, some red flags to look out for will signal you when to get immediate repairs. If your door is heavy, sagging, visibly damaged, or just won’t work the way it should, don’t hesitate to give us a call.

What to Look Out For

Sometimes, there are very specific things you might notice that are wrong with your garage door. When you see or notice any of these things, it is definitely time for a garage door repair.

Very Heavy Door

Has your garage door felt unusually heavy lately? If so, your garage door may have some broken springs. Broken springs no longer hold the weight of the garage door, leaving it essentially inoperable. It is ill-advised that you should try to lift the door or continue operating the door. Instead, call us for immediate garage door repair.

Garage Door Jamming

When your garage door jams, you might notice that it partly opens before you feel some resistance. Usually, this is because your garage door has fallen off its tracks, leading it to open unevenly and at bad angles. Other times, this is because the door’s tracks have become bent, typically because of broken cables.

Bent Tracks

Your garage door works by rolling along set tracks. If those tracks are bent, you will have great difficulty opening and closing your door properly. If you try to keep using the door while in this condition, the pressure placed on other mechanisms will cause even greater damage, so it is worthwhile to get garage door repairs as quickly as possible.

Broken Cables

If your cable has come off or broken entirely, you might notice that your garage doors feel incredibly unbalanced. When functioning properly, the cable helps your door lift from the bottom up and puts less stress on other moving parts. 

Issues Opening and Closing

If your garage door is fitted using a garage door opener, but it isn’t working properly, it can get frustrating very quickly. In this case, your garage door opener might be experiencing a logic board failure, meaning that it isn’t correctly sending or receiving signals that control the operation of your door. Electrical storms and power surges can cause that. If you notice these problems, make sure to give us a call right away. A garage door that won’t open or close properly is dangerous! 

Loud Garage Door 

Your garage door opens by lifting and rolling along set tracks. To move along these tracks, it relies on rollers to glide along the tracks. Over time, your rollers can wear out, and instead of rolling, they’ll drag instead. When this happens, garage door operations tend to grow louder. 

Unusual Humming Sound

A humming sound usually indicates something wrong inside your garage door opener. When this happens, there is typically an issue with the gear sprocket. As time passes, the gear inside your opener can wear out, stripping away the plastic teeth needed to operate properly. When the gear is stripped, it can create a humming sound.
