When you’ve got car trouble, you take your car to a certified mechanic. When you’ve got pipe trouble, you call up a certified plumber. And when you’ve got iPhone problems, you stay as far away from the certified Apple Store as you can, and instead call up a dodgy mate who’s good with technology… we all know you’d be better off buying a new phone than having to deal with the Apple Store!
But garage door problems aren’t quite the same as phone trouble and, like cars and plumbing, they need to be seen to by an expert. In this post, we outline the various reasons why only the experts should repair your garage door:
Garage doors aren’t as simple as they look
Sure, you may look at your garage door and think, ‘door, tracks, rollers… simple as that!’ Kind of, but not really. There’s actually a whole bunch of intricate, finnicky parts that work to operate your garage door, like pulleys, springs, cable drums and shafts. If just one of these mechanisms isn’t 100% attached the right way or totally functional, the safety of your whole door is compromised.
That’s why an expertly trained technician is the only person you should allow to inspect and repair your garage door. They know their way around garage doors like the backs of their hands.
You’ll often need two technicians
Saying you need an expert for a garage door repair is an understatement: in fact, you’ll often need two. Some garage doors weigh over 200 kilos – an impossible weight to bring down on one’s own, unless you’re Arnold Schwarzenegger. Therefore, two technicians are required to bring down the door safely and properly.
Fast, effective service
Garage door experts are lightning-quick at what they do. Most double-garage door repairs can be completed within an three hours – even if it’s a major job like torsion spring repairs or track replacements. A garage door service can be finished within an hour, creating minimal interruptions to your busy daily schedule.
Insurance
If something goes wrong while you’re trying to fix your own garage door, like a damaged ceiling for example, you’re going to need to fork out more money and waste more time repairing it. All of that money will come out of your own pocket. But if something goes wrong while a garage door technician is repairing your door (which rarely ever happens), they’re covered by insurance – so there won’t be anything to stress about.
