Garage doors are used on a daily basis – often numerous times – so why put up with a sluggish, underperforming door? As the single largest moving part of your home, it’s important that you consider the sort of maintenance your garage door is likely to require.
The vast majority of doors are automatic, meaning they utilise a motor and have numerous other moving components. Just as you have your car serviced regularly to ensure the engine is operating correctly and the body is in good order, the same can be applied to a garage door.
Here at Star Door Service, we provide comprehensive servicing of garage doors. So, how often should you call us?
We recommend that you have your garage door serviced every 12 to 18 months. Regular servicing not only ensures your door continues to run smoothly, but also helps to prevent more serious issues form occuring. Doors that don’t undergo regular servicing are more susceptible to problems; if the door is not operating as it should be, parts can wear out. Think about a car and its steering rack; if the wheels are out of alignment, your tyres will soon wear unevenly and need changing. This domino effect is also the case with garage doors.
What models do we service?
Star Door Service offers servicing of both roller doors and sectional doors, and we work with both belt drive and chain drive models. When it comes to automatic doors, we can service the motor to ensure that it is running smoothly, and we can take care of manual components as well.
When it comes to brands, makes and models, we can service them all; virtually all doors fall under the above styles, with variation coming in the terms of quality rather then structural differences. Therefore, we can assist with whatever type of door you might have, from Merlin and Guardian to Boss, ATA, Superlift and everything in between.
So what happens when we service your door?
Most services address the same things; just like a car, there are key components of the door that need to be checked and maintained every 12 to 18 months.
These include lubricating all moving parts, including wheels, bearings, hinges and springs; checking the cables for any sign of wear and tear, and adjusting the tension on the door as required; and of course a full service of the door motor to ensure it’s operating correctly, including adjusting the sensitivity.
In addition to servicing, we also carry a vast array of spare parts – meaning we’re able to undertake repairs as required. With very competitive rates, you can rest assured that if something does need to be fixed, it won’t cost you an arm and a leg.
