Preventive Maintenance for Garage Doors

Like most mechanical devices, garage doors require timely maintenance to keep them in peak operating condition. Drake Reed Door Co. will come to your home and execute a series of service and troubleshooting steps:

• Inspecting the door to detect signs of damage.
• Conducting safety checks, such as testing the auto-reverse mechanism that prevents the door from falling on a person, pet or object.
• Checking the tracks, hinges and other hardware.
• Lubricating moving parts.
• Servicing the belt or chain.
• Inspecting and servicing the springs.
• Cleaning the door’s surface.
• Replacing the opener’s battery.
• Adjusting the opening and closing speed if necessary.

The Importance of Routine Garage Door Maintenance

Performing preventive care steps once a year — or twice a year for older doors — is essential for several reasons:

• Safety: An improperly maintained door can be dangerous. Regular service reduces the risk of accidents and provides peace of mind.
• Costs: Routine maintenance can detect and correct minor issues before they become more expensive repair jobs.
• Longevity: A garage door can last 15-30 years, depending on the materials. Regular maintenance can maximize your door’s lifespan and lengthen the time between replacements.
• Security: A secure garage door in good condition can more effectively deter burglars and intruders who may attempt to use the garage to enter your home.
• Increased home value: If you plan to sell your home, a visually appealing, well-functioning garage door will boost your curb appeal and attract more buyers at a higher price.
