Why Regular Garage Door Tune-Ups and Inspections Are Essential


Regular garage door tune-ups and inspections are critical for ensuring the smooth operation and safety of your garage door. Not only do they optimise performance, but they also help keep your loved ones safe from potential hazards.


When it comes to maintaining your garage door, trust only the expert technicians at Garage Door Repairs. Call us today on 021 674 385 to book your service.


What Is a Garage Door Tune-Up?


Keeping your garage door in excellent condition requires regular tune-ups and inspections. Here’s what we do during a tune-up service:


  • Inspect and adjust cables and springs.
  • Tighten all hardware components to ensure smooth operation.
  • Check hinges and tracks for obstructions or signs of wear.
  • Verify the functionality of sensors and gears.
  • Lubricate moving parts to prevent wear and tear.
  • Assess the weather seals and insulation for integrity.
  • Clear debris from sensors and operational components.


How Often Should a Garage Door Be Tuned Up?


Garage doors should be tuned up and inspected at least twice a year (every six months). Daily use puts significant strain on its components, causing wear and tear that often goes unnoticed until failure occurs.


To avoid unexpected breakdowns, contact Garage Door Repairs to schedule your regular tune-up.


Benefits of Regular Garage Door Tune-Ups


1. Prevent Major Problems


Without routine maintenance, small issues like worn springs or misaligned tracks can escalate into expensive repairs. Regular inspections help our expert technicians spot and resolve these issues early.


At Garage Door Repairs, we replace damaged springs before they snap, repair motors before they burn out, and align tracks to ensure optimal performance. By addressing problems promptly, we help prolong the life of your garage door.


2. Save Money


While there’s an upfront cost for maintenance, it prevents costly repairs down the road. Regular tune-ups ensure small issues are fixed before they turn into major expenses, saving you money over time.


3. Enhance Safety and Security


Garage doors weigh hundreds of kilograms, making them dangerous if they malfunction. Regular tune-ups ensure the door operates safely, reducing the risk of accidents.


Moreover, a well-maintained garage door improves security by ensuring it closes properly, keeping intruders out of your home.


4. Avoid Inconveniences


Imagine rushing to work only to find your garage door stuck or malfunctioning during heavy rain. Regular maintenance prevents these inconveniences by keeping your garage door functioning reliably all year round.
