At Overhead Door Company of Charleston, we have extensive experience in working on garage doors for both residential and commercial clients. Our team knows first-hand how a malfunctioning garage door can ruin your day, and we want to help you avoid that experience by keeping your overhead doors in good working order. In this article, we will provide an overview of our garage door maintenance services—we encourage you to take advantage of these services in order to make sure your doors continue to work properly.
- Lubrication – One essential step in our garage door maintenance routine is to lubricate the opening mechanism. Oiling the moving parts in your garage door opener and in the door itself prevents any of the parts from getting stuck, ensuring continued smooth operations. This also helps prevent the opening mechanism from overheating.
- Safety Check – As part of our garage door maintenance services, we also check the safety features to make sure they are working properly. Our experts will test your garage door’s auto reverse mechanism and visual sensors to make sure the door can detect objects and people in its path and can reverse quickly to avoid hitting anything below it.
- Tightening Up – Over time, bolts tend to get loose, which can make the parts they are holding together start to wobble. As part of our garage door maintenance services, our team will tighten up all the bolts and other fasteners in your system to make sure everything stays exactly where it is supposed to be.
