FAQS

How Often Should My Garage Door Be Serviced?

We recommend having your garage door serviced by a professional at least once a year. Regular maintenance can help prevent unexpected failures, extend the lifespan of your door, and ensure it operates safely. This service typically includes inspecting and adjusting all mechanical parts, lubricating moving components, and checking the door balance. If you frequently use your garage door or live in an area with harsh weather conditions, more frequent service may be beneficial.

What Should I Do if My Garage Door Won’t Open or Close?

If your garage door won't open or close, first, check to see if there are any obvious obstructions in the tracks or if the door is manually locked. Next, verify that the garage door opener is plugged in and that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped. If the problem persists, it could be due to various issues such as misaligned tracks, broken springs, or opener malfunctions. For safety reasons and to prevent further damage, it's best to contact a professional to diagnose and fix the problem.
