In the garage door sector it is common to run into house owners that were never informeded of the best ways to appropriately look after their garage doors and garage door openers. So here is a to-do list of things to do.

Much like most man made gadgets, garage doors sometimes fail to function.  When this happens your door will need repairing.  There are a number of smyptons of failure however perhaps the primary problem you'll encounter is that your garage door will not go up.

Garage doors have two major varieties of springs.  The commonest type of spring is a torsion spring.  Torsion springs are put in above the door opening.  Tension springs are put in alongside the garage door's horizontal tracks.  Both types of springs do the identical thing.  They supply most of the power that causes your door to open.
  
If your door is connected to an automated door opener, disengage the door so that it can be manually operated for this action. A great rule of thumb to bear in mind: if you can not run the door comfortably by hand after that your door opener should not be lifting it either. Readjusting spring tension is unsafe and can create significant injury if not done correctly, and leaving a door heavy too long could induce expensive damage to your door opener.

If you look towards the bottom of the tracks on both side of your garage door opening, one can find a set of "eyes". They're there for your safety as well as the safety of your property and pets.  If the beam is interrupted, your garage door will stop descending and begin going back up.  Normally your garage door opener light will even flash.
  
Many garage door openers will certainly have a rail that expands from the motor device to the wall the door is mounted on. This is the rail that the opener arm travels back and forth on the close and open your door. This rail should be periodically lubricated to keep the opener traveling effortlessly and help protect against early wear and tear.

As soon as every year, it is recommended to have your door serviced at the very least. You may discover that the solution phone call prevented a a lot more expensive problem from ever occurring. The professional needs to make you familiar with any type of troubles that were remedied or in need of adjustment at the time of service.

Complying with the above steps every few months will generally take only approximately ten to fifteen mins each door and can considerably improve the beneficial life of your garage door and garage door opener. If you can not seem to find the moment to do it after that I advise speaking to a door professional regarding once each year to do it for you.
