Do Garage Doors Need to be Serviced?

What would happen if your garage door stopped working? Would your car be trapped inside? Would you lose access to important tools or household items? A broken garage door can be a mild inconvenience or a massive problem…

So, how do you make sure your garage door continues to work as it should? With regular servicing, of course!

Do Garage Doors Need to be Serviced?

Do I really need to have my garage door serviced? The answer is… absolutely. Like any other piece of equipment with moving parts, a garage door needs regular maintenance to keep it working properly. Most people should have their garage door serviced at least every 12-24 months. But if you use your garage door more than average (more than 2-3 times a day), your garage door may need to be serviced more frequently.

Why Should I Have My Garage Door Serviced?

Depending on the layout of your home, your garage might lead to the interior of your house. This means that if your garage door fails, your home could be open to the outside world. Even if your garage is isolated from your house, it likely keeps a range of valuable items safe—your car, power tools, bikes, to name a few. If home security is important to you, having your garage door serviced should be important, too.

Also, a regularly serviced garage door is a safe garage door. Did you know that if your garage door malfunctions, it could slam shut unexpectedly? That’s right—your garage door (which probably weighs between 60 and 100 kilograms) could slam down without warning if certain mechanisms break or malfunction. So, get your garage door serviced, for safety’s sake!

Finally, if you avoid servicing your garage door for too long, you could end up with a mountain of costly repairs to tend to. Like most things, if you identify and rectify a problem with your garage door early, it will likely be easier (and less costly!) to fix.

Ready to Service Your Garage Doors?

If you’re ready to have your garage door serviced, remember—DIY jobs won’t cut it. While it might be tempting to try servicing your garage door by yourself, it’s not worth it. Without the proper tools and experience, making any repairs or adjustments to your garage door could be downright dangerous. And, by ‘servicing’ your garage door yourself, you could be doing yourself a financial disservice by not properly addressing problems or creating more problems accidentally. Calling in an experienced, garage door professional is the only way to make sure your garage door will continue to function as it should for years to come.

What People Say About Us

It's nice to have a gorgeous entrance out front when the garage is in front of the house. I like the style, which has four windows down the right side, and the American walnut hue goes well with the garage's stonework. The chinchilla glass obscures the garage's interior, while the windows let in a surprising amount of light. It's a fantastic door.

Excellent job, the fitting appointment was established swiftly, and the fitters that arrived did an excellent job working quickly and professionally, leaving the job clean and tidy with nothing for us to do. He took the time to show us how to operate the door. I'd suggest it.

A very professional service was provided. Following a site survey, a clear quote is provided. The installation took place on the agreed-upon date and time. The installers were clearly knowledgeable and pleasant. They did an excellent job, and we are delighted with our new door.

From beginning to end, the service was great. In the showroom, they were quite helpful and informative, and they kept us updated throughout the entire process, from measurement to installation. We got a wonderful deal on an automated garage door, which was exactly what we needed. I also like the color. I would strongly suggest it.
