How To Tell You Need Garage Door Repair
Oftentimes, your garage door will give you signals that something is wrong before it breaks down, entirely. It’s important you don’t ignore those signs when they occur. To make it easier, we’ve laid out some examples of situations you might encounter that indicate you should contact us at Absolute Services to repair your garage door.
Making Strange Sounds
When you hear popping, grinding, or creaking noises when your garage door is in operation, you may have worn out springs or rollers.
Movement Is Uneven
Pay attention to any shaking or hesitating when your garage door is running, as well as if your garage door slams closed. This may indicate a problem with your garage door track or its lifting system that requires garage door repair.
Seeing a Gap
You may see your garage door closing unevenly or a gap once the door is supposed to be closed. These may be due to problems with spring tension or alignment.
Reversing Frequently
If your garage door frequently reverses once it hits the ground, your sensors may be failing or your settings may need to be updated.
Opening Manually Is Difficult
Another sign there’s a problem is when it’s especially hard to open your garage door by hand when the automatic system is disengaged. It means you likely have failing springs.
Won’t Open or Close
If your garage door is having trouble opening or closing at all, there are many explanations all of which require professional assistance. You’ll almost certainly need repair, if not a full replacement.
Closes or Opens On Its Own
A garage door that seems to have a mind of its own can be indicative of an issue with your garage door’s circuit board or aging batteries in the remote control.
Common Garage Door Issues Requiring Repair
The causes of garage door issues may vary, but we see some specific causes more than others, including:
- Tracks or Rollers Are Broken: Since they are heavily used, these parts can degrade or malfunction.
- Cables Are Snapped or Frayed: If your lift cables become damaged, you may experience problems opening your garage door.
- Safety Sensors Are Blocked, Dirty, or Misaligned: You’ll likely see blinking lights if this is the case.
- Springs Are Failing: The springs are one of the most common components of garage doors that require repairs. They can be dangerous to repair or replace on your own, so call a professional.
- Tracks Are Bent or Misaligned: You’ll notice uneven movement from the door if this is the issue.
- Opener Is Stuck: This could be the result of an issue with the motor, wiring, or remote. Luckily, our team tackles a wide range of opener services.
