Wiltshire, UK - Do Garage Doors Need Maintenance?

If you are asking yourself if garage door maintenance is essential, then reading this article will definitely help. The simple answer is ‘yes’, although some types of garage doors need more maintenance than others and here are a few tips for you.

Like anything in and around your home, everything needs a little bit of tender loving care to keep it working well and looking good. You send your car to the garage to get an annual service and MOT so why not your garage door. New Garage Doors can be expensive to fit depending on the type you go for and the company you use, and they can be costly if they keep breaking so it’s worthwhile taking some time every month to check it over. Always remember a garage door is one of the heaviest pieces of moving equipment in a home so regular testing and garage door maintenance are really important. If you don’t have the time, the skills or the inclination then a good Garage Door Company will always offer a maintenance visit or an annual service as part of their services.

There are different types of garage door and we will cover the main ones; roller, sectional, automatic and up and over Garage Doors. More and more homeowners and businesses are opting for automated roller garage doors as they are the lowest maintenance, very secure, less likely to jam and they don’t need much headroom inside your garage.

Roller & Sectional Garage Door Maintenance

Look for signs of wear and for frayed or broken parts by regularly looking at your garage-door springs, cables and rollers. Always remember a qualified garage door engineer should always handle more complicated issues as the springs in roller garage doors are under a lot of tension and can cause severe injuries if not fixed correctly or safely. Some manufacturers will say your garage door needs to be serviced by a garage door engineer annually to ensure it remains under warranty so always check this when you have a door fitted or if you move to a new home or business that has a garage door.
