Your garage door is one of the most frequently used mechanical systems on your property. However, it’s often overlooked until something goes wrong. Preventive garage door maintenance is an investment in safety, convenience and long-term performance. Regular upkeep helps your door operate smoothly and can prevent costly repairs down the road from everyday wear and tear to unexpected breakdowns.
At Drake Reed Door Co., we provide comprehensive maintenance services to keep your system in peak condition. With decades of local experience and trained technicians, our preventive maintenance plans can protect your property and extend the life of your garage door’s components.
What Is Garage Door Preventive Maintenance?
Garage door preventive maintenance involves a detailed inspection and servicing of all moving parts, safety systems and structural components of your garage door. Rather than waiting for a problem to occur, our trained professionals look for early signs of wear or potential failure. This approach gives you peace of mind and helps keep your garage door functioning reliably.
During a typical service, we will:
- Inspect and tighten hinges, tracks and fasteners.
- Test safety features, such as the auto-reverse sensor.
- Lubricate springs, rollers and other moving parts.
- Check the garage door opener and replace batteries if needed.
- Evaluate cables, springs and balance for signs of stress or fatigue.
Garage Door Opener Maintenance
We give special attention to your garage door opener because it’s the heart of your system and requires care. Garage door opener maintenance ensures that sensors, remotes and motors work reliably. We check electrical components, replace batteries as needed and test opener performance as part of our comprehensive service.
Benefits of Regular Garage Door Maintenance
Thorough garage door maintenance improves performance, minimizes the risk of unexpected failure and provides other benefits.
Enhanced Safety and Security
A malfunctioning garage door can present serious safety hazards, from compromised auto-reverse systems to failing springs. Routine maintenance for garage door systems ensures safety features remain in working order and helps prevent injuries or property damage.
Longer Lifespan
Like any mechanical device, a garage door has a limited life. Regular garage door maintenance helps prevent minor issues from becoming major problems, extending the lifespan of your system and protecting your investment.
Cost Savings Over Time
Addressing small issues early through preventive garage door maintenance can significantly reduce emergency repairs and major replacements. Early detection often means simpler, less expensive fixes.
Smoother Operation
With regular maintenance, you may notice an improvement in how your garage door opens and closes. Smoother operation reduces stress on the opener and moving parts, helping them last longer.
