HELPFUL ANSWERS

Garage Door Maintenance FAQs

These answers are general guidance. For advice about your specific door, property, and service availability, contact your local office.

How often should a garage door be inspected?

Follow the door and opener manufacturers’ recommendations and consider a professional inspection periodically, especially if the door is noisy, used frequently, or showing signs of wear. The right interval depends on usage and condition.

What can I safely check myself?

Keep the door area clear, visually inspect accessible parts for obvious damage, listen for new noises, and keep photo-eye sensors unobstructed. Do not loosen hardware, adjust springs or cables, or work beneath an unsupported door.

Does lubrication help a noisy garage door?

Appropriate lubrication of specified moving parts may help, but noise can also indicate worn rollers, misalignment, loose hardware, or opener problems. Use the manufacturer’s guidance and do not lubricate tracks unless the manufacturer specifically instructs it.

What is included in a tune-up?

The exact scope varies by provider and door system. Ask the office to confirm which inspection, adjustment, lubrication, and safety checks are included before scheduling.

Can maintenance prevent every breakdown?

No. Maintenance can identify visible wear and operational concerns, but components can still fail due to age, usage, impact, or other factors. Address unusual changes promptly.
