How Servicing Your Door Regularly Can Save You Money

There are very few things that you can keep using without servicing. Maybe your Nan’s 1984 Toyota Corolla (that thing will never die), but that’s about it really. With everything else, you’ll need to get it serviced. Garage door are no exception: they’ve got multiple parts, different mechanisms and are used many times a day, so you want to make sure that everything is working perfectly.

Aside from the obvious reasons of safety and security, servicing your garage door regularly can actually save you money in the long run. Let’s find out why, and where to go if you want the best garage door service in all of Perth.

Less chance of your garage door needing repair

Garage door repairs cost far more than getting a service. An average garage door service costs usually less than a couple hundred bucks, unless it’s discovered that a component needs repairing – then, it’ll cost a little more. A serious repair as a result of neglecting your garage door, however, is going to cost you far more than a standard service. Replacing broken cables, repairing the opener and replacing tracks can cost a hundreds more than a service. All of these faults can be caused by neglecting to service your garage door.

It lasts longer

The second way in which you save money by regularly servicing your garage door is that you won’t have to replace your garage door. The cost of a garage door replacement isn’t in the low hundreds: it’s in the thousands. So, clearly you’re better off taking care of your current garage door, rather than letting it get so bad that you have to replace it. 

Other main benefits of servicing your garage door

Garage door maintenance and service has a range of benefits for door owners, and these two are absolutely priceless:

  • Safety: Garage doors that haven’t been maintained pose a risk to safety. What if your springs or cables needed replacing and one day they snapped? This could cause the door to come crashing down. 
  • Security: A garage door that has been left a long time without being serviced poses a far bigger security risk too. Who’s to say that an intruder couldn’t just lift up your door because the locking mechanism stopped working ages ago? This could void your insurance policy too, costing your thousands and thousands of dollars, directly out of your pocket.
