Considering Preventative Maintenance
How often does my garage door require preventative maintenance?
To keep your garage door in functioning working order, it is a necessity to have preventative maintenance performed on it. How often this maintenance is done depends on how often you use the door. If you use it often, as in daily or even weekly, it is recommended to get your garage door maintained annually.
What are the benefits?
Having preventative maintenance performed on your garage door is a wise investment for many reasons. Preventative maintenance will prevent cosmetic issues and keep your garage door aesthetically pleasing. It is also beneficial to the safety of your family. Not having your garage door maintained, especially when you use it often, can cause the component of the door to fail and fall on yourself or your child.
Having it inspected and maintained will ensure the safety of your family. Garage door maintenance is also a great idea because it can save you a lot of money in the long run. It will be tremendously less expensive to perform minor maintenance annually than have to replace your entire garage door system. Maintaining your garage door annually will add years to the life of it.
How long does this usually take?
When a service man for your garage door maintenance arrives, he will normally lube all the proper points and inspect the rollers for wear and damage. He will check the balance of the door by inspecting it as it opens and closes. In some cases the tracks will need realigned or adjusted as well. He will also check the springs on the door, which are a crucial part on the door that is also the most common component to fail.
The professional you schedule this routine tune-up with will be able to perform all of these tasks so the maintenance should be done in one appointment. All of these tasks normally take less than an hour.
