What Our Customers Say About Our Garage Door Repair Services
What is Included in Our Garage Door Safety Inspections?
- Spring and cables inspection: We examine the springs for signs of tear and wear, check if they are properly tensioned and inspect the cables for rust and looseness to ensure they work in well with the springs to lift and lower the garage door safely.
- Alignment of the safety sensor: Lack of proper safety sensor alignment can lead to door malfunctioning. Thus, we realign and test the sensors to ensure they can detect obstructions accurately and reverse the garage door movement when necessary.
- Moving parts lubrication: We lubricate the rollers, hinges and tracks of your garage door to reduce friction, prevent premature wear, and build the up of rust and improve door operation.
- Garage door opener testing: Our experts test the opener to ensure it responds promptly when activated, and if there's a problem, they check the gears, belts, irregularities and the motor and address the issue immediately while verifying the remote control signal strength.
- Track & balance adjustment: We inspect the tracks to ensure they are correctly aligned to prevent jams. We clear debris, manually lift your garage door, observe its movement to determine if it's balanced or not and adjust it because if it's not balanced, it can cause strain on the tracks.
- Belts, nuts, chains & bolts tightening: Our technicians examine the chains and belts for any misalignment and tighten or adjust them to ensure the door operates smoothly. They go over each nut and bolt securing the tracks and motor and tighten them to manufacturer specifications.
- Weather seal replacing and repairing: We inspect the garage door weather seal for potential issues like cracks and wear, repair or replace it in case it has issues and reattach it if no issues are detected.
Tips for Garage Door Security
- Periodically perform a self-inspection: Perform regular checks by looking for signs like frayed cabless, unusual noises when closing or opening the door and broken springs. This is because early detection will save money and prevent accidents.
- Regular test of the safety sensors: This will help ensure that the sensors reverse the door motion when detecting an obstruction and can, therefore, prevent accidents, especially involving pets or children.
- Safety comes first: Prioritize regular inspections (like twice every year or once every six months) of your garage door, primarily if it is heavily used in commercial settings or operates in harsh weather conditions. You'll be able to identify potential issues and solve them in time before they become big problems.
- Only use experienced craftsmen: Always rely on certified professionals like Abell Garage Doors with the expertise to address garage door issues effectively and safely. Experts perform repairs and replacements correctly the first time, avoiding costly repairs down the line.
- Learn how to use the emergency release cord: It's a crucial feature that allows you to manually operate your garage door in case of a malfunction or power outage and improper use may comprise security. Thus, familiarize yourself with how the cord disengages the opener mechanism, enabling manual operation.
