Hello. I’m Maria Jardine. I’d love to talk to my readers about garage door maintenance and repairs. When you take the time to keep your garage doors in great condition, you can reduce your costs over the life of the doors. Well-maintained garage doors retain their easy movement and attractive appearance for years longer than ones that do not receive the proper level of care. On this site, I will teach you all the maintenance and repair techniques needed to keep your garage doors in phenomenal condition. Come by often to learn all you can about maintaining your garage doors.
Are you having issues with your garage? If your garage door won't close, it could be a number of issues that only your garage door service specialist can diagnose and treat for sure. You should never attempt to repair a broken or malfunctioning garage door on your own because you risk injury or worse in doing so.
Why won't your garage door close? It could be anything from a broken garage door sensor to a loose or old spring. It could also be something as simple as wiping off a garage door opener so the unit operates again or so complex of a problem that you have to have the garage door replaced. This guide is intended to help you learn more about what may be causing garage door failure and is not intended to replace a garage door service technician.
Your springs are loose or older
In order to go up and down without slamming to the ground, your garage door rests on springs. These springs can operate many times and cycle through the opening and closing of your garage door several times a day. Once a certain number of cycles have been completed, a spring is done and may cause a garage door to stick or not work anymore. Your garage door service tech can evaluate if your garage springs are the main cause of why your garage door doesn't work and can make repairs or replacement of springs as needed.
Your garage door opener is broken
Is your garage door opener dusty or broken? Does it need new batteries? Is there something in the way of the sensor that is keeping it from responding? If you can manually close your garage door but you cannot use the clicker to get it to open, the garage door opener may be to blame. Have a garage door service technician inspect your entire garage door to rule out any dangerous causes for door malfunction before having them check the garage door opener for flaws.
Your garage door should always operate when you want it to. Having regular maintenance checks of your garage door can help you keep the unit in good working condition. If you notice the door sticking, slamming to the ground, vibrating or shaking when opening or closing, or making lots of noise when you use it, then call for garage door service to see what's going on. Odds are, the garage door can be repaired without any major issues moving forward.
