Garage Door Maintenance Johannesburg


Doing maintenance on your garage door on a regular basis is very important because you use your garage door every day and it opens and closes over a thousand times a year.

If you don’t maintain your garage door it could start making funny noises when you open or close it. Garage doors whether they are made of wood, steel or Chromadek are very heavy with all the steel cables, springs, panels and various parts that keep it together and if not maintained and looked after the springs or cables could snap and bring the door down on you a family member or your car.

Below are some tips to help you with your garage door maintenance: 

  • All the parts need to be checked and tightened like the nuts and bolts and other hardware that loosens over time due to the constant movement of your garage door. 
  • The cables can snap if not in a good condition so make sure they are not worn out.
  • The springs usually rust and also break if you don’t lubricate them often so they will need to be replaced once he guarantee is up. A spring that breaks is very dangerous so you will need to get professional garage door company in to replace it for you.
  • If your garage door rollers are worn your door will have difficulty rolling open so you will need to be replace them.
Aligning a garage door is very important because it needs to be perfectly balanced. If it has not been balanced properly by a garage door specialist it could crush a person. This also places allot of stress on your garage door motor as it will need to work harder to open the garage door. 
Disengage the door opener of your motor and pull the door down halfway more or less. Any garage door, once balanced properly, will stay in position unless there is too much tension on the springs. This will cause the door to pull upwards so the tension of the springs will have to be lowered. The opposite will also occur if the tension on the springs is to weak, the door will sag down.

Next you will need to make sure the auto reverse of your garage door motor works. To do this place a bucket or any household item under the door while open. Make sure it’s in the middle of the door and lined up with your garage door motor. Use your remote of your garage door and press the open button. If the door come to a standstill and reverses without having damaged the household item you know it works and is safe to use.
