Maintenance will keep your Mundelein garage door and garage door opener off your mind this Thanksgiving

When you’re returning to your Mundelein home from the grocery store, a turkey and all the fixings in the back of your car or SUV, as you pull in the driveway, and push that button, you’re counting on the garage door to open. You have enough on your mind without dealing with a broken garage door opener today.

You’ve planned this meal to the last detail. And though it will only be the immediate family this year, what with the coronavirus, even a smaller turkey requires the same preparation before going into a pre-heated over. It still requires basting. The stuffing, the vegetables, the rolls, the potatoes: they all require preparation and planning so they’ll come out of the oven or the pan, ready to eat, when you’re ready to start carving that turkey.

Detail and maintenance are also required to ensure that the garage door operates as you want it to operate and when you want it to operate. If you ignore the garage door on your Mundelein garage for too long, it’s a wing-and-a-prayer whether it will continue to work as expected.

The detail involved in the operation of your garage door and garage door opener started when they were designed. Those designs are generally not new. Some say that the first garage doors were designed and built in 3500 BC. Of course, the design has been updated somewhat since then.

C.G. Johnson, of Hartford City, IN, is credited with inventing the first garage door opener in 1926. His design has also seen significant improvements over the years. 

As garage doors and garage door openers have experienced design improvements, they have relied on bearings, hinges, gears, pulleys, springs, belts and/or chains, etc, to work in concert to provide a garage door that opens and closes, smoothly and quietly, on demand. Those parts require cleaning, lubrication and adjustments to keep them in optimal working order.

If you perform the appropriate maintenance on your Mundelein garage door and garage door opener, you won’t have to give your garage door and garage door opener a second thought when you come out to the garage to get the pies you stored there in time for dessert. Thanksgiving dinner will come off without a hitch and your garage door and garage door openers will be the furthest things from your mind.
