Between-Service Garage Door Maintenance Tips
While professional garage door maintenance is essential, here are some simple steps you can take between service visits to keep your garage door in good condition:
Monthly Garage Door Visual Inspection
Visually check springs, cables, rollers, and hinges for signs of wear or damage. Listen for unusual noises during operation that might indicate developing garage door problems.
Test Garage Door Balance
Disconnect the opener (pull the emergency release cord) and manually lift the door to about halfway. It should stay in place without rising or falling significantly. If it doesn't, the springs may need adjustment.
Clean Garage Door Tracks
Keep the tracks on both sides of the door free of dirt and debris. Wipe them down with a damp cloth, but avoid using lubricants on the tracks as this can cause buildup and affect operation.
Tighten Garage Door Hardware
Use a socket wrench to tighten any loose bolts on door brackets and hinges, but avoid overtightening which can strip the hardware and damage your garage door.
Test Garage Door Safety Features
Periodically test the door's auto-reverse feature by placing a roll of paper towels in the door's path. When the door contacts the object, it should reverse direction. Also test the photo eye sensors by breaking the beam during door closure.
Garage Door Weather Seal Check
Inspect the rubber seal at the bottom of your garage door and the weatherstripping around the sides and top. Look for cracks, brittleness, or sections pulling away from the door.
Important Garage Door Safety Note
Never attempt to adjust or repair garage door springs, cables, or opener components yourself. These high-tension parts require specialized tools and training to handle safely. Always call a professional for these garage door services.

Garage Door Maintenance & Tune-Up FAQs
How often should I have my garage door professionally maintained?
For most residential garage doors, annual maintenance is sufficient. However, if your door sees heavy use (opening and closing multiple times daily), has been in service for many years, or operates in harsh conditions, semi-annual garage door maintenance is recommended.
How long does a garage door maintenance service take?
A typical comprehensive garage door tune-up takes 45-60 minutes, depending on the condition of your door and the number of components that need adjustment or lubrication.
Will maintenance reduce the noise from my garage door?
Yes, in most cases. Proper lubrication of moving parts and tightening of hardware during garage door maintenance often significantly reduces the noise associated with garage door operation.
Can maintenance be performed on any type of garage door?
Yes, we provide garage door maintenance services for all types of residential and commercial garage doors throughout Pennsylvania, including sectional doors, roll-up doors, tilt-up doors, and custom installations.
What if you find issues during garage door maintenance?
If our technician identifies any components that need repair or replacement during your garage door maintenance, they will explain the issues, provide recommendations, and give you a quote for the necessary work. You can then decide whether to proceed with the repairs immediately or schedule them for a later date.
