Your garage door is the portal to the outside world. It represents freedom; the opportunity to leave the home and go wherever you want, whenever you want. When you put it in perspective like that, there’s no wonder why the team at Star Door Service place so much significance on the condition of your garage door!
Your portal wouldn’t be much use if you couldn’t open and close it safely, right? That’s where automatic garage door maintenance comes in to save the day. Let’s ask the pros from Star Door Service just how often you should service your automatic garage door, and why:
An annual garage door service is the way to go
The gold standard for garage door service intervals is no later than a year. Getting your automatic garage door serviced annually is the best way to keep it running nice and smooth, and prevent avoidable damage from occurring later down the track. Let’s take a look at some of the thing that happen when you call up the team from Star Door Service and book in for a tip-top garage door service:
- Major components are inspected and serviced
Your garage door relies on a number of major components for daily operation. These include your torsion spring, cables, rollers, drums and more. These major parts are given a complete overhaul, being inspected to the finest degree, and repaired or replaced if deemed necessary. - Opener serviced
The thing that makes your garage door automatic is the opener itself, so it’s super important that your opener is checked during an annual service. The team at Star Door Service inspect your opener and run some diagnostics on it, monitoring its operation and speed, and making adjustments if necessary. - Weather seal inspection
Now that the weather is well and truly heating up, it’s important to have a top quality weather seal to keep your home cool in summer. Weather seals help to prevent outside air from travelling into your home, which can cause your AC unit to work harder. Star Door Service test your weather seal and make sure it’s up to scratch, replacing it if necessary. - Lubrication and tightening
And finally, your door is generally lubricated and tightened in the necessary spots. The rollers and tracks are oiled, and the cables and springs are tightened.
