What does a garage door service entail?
A standard garage door and opener service takes 30 minutes and includes:
- Lubrication of the critical moving parts including chain drive, tracks, wheels or cable drum. This ensures your door travels smoothly and quietly.
- Tightening of door mounting points along with door bolts, screws, cables and connectors. Delivering integrity of the door and tracks and preventing failure associated with parts pulling apart or away from fixing points.
- Adjustment of spring tension to limit ‘spring fatigue’ or undue strain on the opener, reducing likelihood of failure over time.
- Adjustment of opener travel limits and force margin to ensure the door opens and closes to specification, without causing damage to the door or opener.
- Assessment and adjustment of safety components and accessories including safety beams and Auto-Lock.
- Assessment of the door alignment and the diagnosis of irregular operation.
We recommend servicing your garage door once in the first 12 months and every two years thereafter.
