Signs of a Problematic Garage Door

If your garage door fails to open and closely properly or emits a squeaking sound at the slightest movement, then the chances are you have a problem and it should be dealt with fairly quickly.

Here are the top signs of a problematic garage door and why you need to get in touch with Jim’s Roller Garage Door Franchise should any of these signs occur.

Squeaking Garage Door

A squeaking sound usually indicates poor lubrication. The most common problems resulting in a squeaking garage door usually involve dry rollers or bearings. In more serious circumstances it can be an indicator of worn bearings and the door being out of alignment.

Garage Door that Moves Too Slowly

A garage door that doesn’t move smoothly usually indicates door spring problems. It is very possible that the springs of your garage door have already run its course and will therefore require immediate replacing. The other possibility is an issue with the motor. A Jim’s Roller Garage Door Franchisee is trained to service and repair all brands of motors

Doors that Don’t Close Properly

If your door begins to close and forces open again before closing completely, this very often points to some obstruction or spring problems. Some object may have caused the obstruction so that your garage door does not close completely. Some cases involve broken cables or damaged cable pulleys, also worn drive-shafts in the motors are a common cause of closing issues.

Scraping Sound

A garage door that emits a scraping sound is usually the result of a worn out cable. In some instances this scraping sound is the result of an uneven or skewed reinforcement strut. A Jim’s roller Garage Door franchisee can diagnose the problem professionally, while replacing the frayed parts as needed.

Noisy Door

A garage door should not be overly noisy. If your door can be heard inside your home or by your neighbours, then this is not a good sign. A Jim’s Roller Garage Door franchisee can isolate these noises and eliminate the majority of them, making your door as quiet as it was when it was new.

Don’t wait until too late before having your garage doors checked or the parts replaced by a trusted professional.

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.
