Golden Garage Doors provides comprehensive professional garage door maintenance services aimed at ensuring your garage door system continues to operate smoothly, quietly, and safely for a long time. Your garage door is the largest and heaviest operating component in your home, and regular maintenance is the best way to avoid unexpected system failures, extend component life, and ensure the safety of everyone in your family. Our maintenance services cover every component of your garage door system, including springs, cables, rollers, tracks, and opener.
Why Regular Maintenance Matters
Every time you use your garage door, your doors springs stretch, rollers rotate, and opener motor runs. After a few hundred operations, your garage doors lubricant dries up, hardware becomes loose, springs weaken, and tracks become misaligned. If you do not maintain your garage door regularly, these small problems add up to create big headaches, causing your garage door to become inoperable or requiring costly repairs. With regular maintenance, your garage door system will operate smoothly and quietly, increasing its life span and ensuring your familys safety from component failures. It is highly recommended that your garage door system should be maintained at least once a year, however, if your garage door operates heavily every day, it should be maintained twice a year.
What Our Maintenance Service Includes
Each service carried out by Golden Garage Doors includes a complete checklist for the entire garage door system. This ensures everything works smoothly while preventing any issues from occurring. This includes a visual inspection of all the hardware components of the garage door system, for instance, the springs, the cables, the rollers, etc., to check if they are tired or worn out. Additionally, all the movable components of the garage door system, for instance, the hinges, the rollers, the drive of the opener, etc., are lubricated while all the bolts and brackets holding the garage door hardware are tightened, the balance of the garage door is tested to ensure that the weight is evenly distributed on both spring sets. The safety sensors are inspected to ensure proper alignment and that the auto reverse feature is working properly. The weatherstripping and bottom seals of the garage door are inspected to see if they are deteriorating. The entire garage door is inspected to see how well it is holding up.
Spring Inspection and Care
Garage door springs are under tremendous tension at all times and are the most likely garage door part to break without warning. Every time we service your garage door, we inspect the garage door springs to see if there is any sign of rust or fatigue that can cause them to snap without warning. In addition to checking for any sign of fatigue or rust, we apply a special lubricant to the garage door springs that can greatly extend their lifespan while reducing friction and the potential for corrosion. If we notice that your garage doors springs are near the end of their cycle life, we will notify you to replace them before they snap.
Track Alignment and Roller Service
If the tracks of the garage door get clogged with debris or if the tracks get out of alignment, the garage door has to work harder to move along the tracks. This can cause the garage door to make more noise than usual while operating and can strain the opener motor unnecessarily. When we service your garage door, we clean the tracks to remove any debris that may be clogging them and make sure that the tracks are properly aligned. In addition to checking the tracks, we also inspect the rollers to see if they are still working properly and recommend replacing them every few years or so depending on how often you use your garage door. Replacing the rollers with sealed nylon rollers is one of the best upgrades you can make to your garage door to reduce the noise made by the garage door rollers, especially if you live over or beside the garage.
Opener Tune Up and Safety Check
Your garage door opener is significantly helped by regular professional service. We check the motor drive assembly circuit board and remote control system during each service visit. We also check that all safety features, including auto reverse and photo eye sensors, are calibrated and in good working order. A well maintained door opener is more efficient, longer lasting, and provides the reliable service you expect every day. If you have an older unit, we can discuss new units with WiFi and smartphone control from LiftMaster and Genie.
