In other words, not many of us put much thought into our garage doors, how they work, how they’re made or on keeping them in working conditions, although many of us notice the rust forming underneath our vehicle the rust forming along our garage door tracks due to lack of lubrication is far from our minds. Although rust can add a warm, almost homely appeal when used in decor, when present it affects the efficiency of your garage door.
Any good technician knows this and will have thoroughly lubricated your garage door tracks upon installation. That being said, not all technicians are aware that all metal materials on your garage door need such attention, including but not limited to the spring located above the door, this means that even if you have plastic rollers there is still a need for lubrication. Lubrication is necessary to keep your garage door operable over time, but it is only one of the things you need to take into consideration when thinking about keeping up with garage door maintenance.
Here are just a few examples of what can go wrong when your door is not properly maintained:
- Squeaky, grinding noises when opening
- Door doesn’t seal when closed or close all the way
- Broken weather sealant
- Garage door openers simply not connecting or working
- Unaligned Tracks
- Broken springs
- Broken cables
And lastly, most common, but not least …
- Rust
Quality garage door technicians take the hassle of getting your car home safely and securely into your garage easier and far less stressful. They will provide quick and efficient service that keeps your garage door in good condition while extending its life.
