Call A1 For Your Garage Door Service or Repair
Is there something wrong with the doors in your house? Do they not work like they used to? Most garage service issues can be resolved by some minor DIY repair, such as resetting your garage door opener, tightening some nuts and bolts, or even adjusting the doors sensors. The majority of these fixes are feasible for the average homeowner to tackle, but some issues will require expertise beyond “a do-it-yourselfer.” In some cases, such as worn torsion springs, a professional garage door technician will have to inspect the problem, and if you try to fix the issue yourself, you may do more damage to your garage doors.
Read on if you’re curious about what you should and shouldn’t do for your door repair; we’ll help you figure it out. If you notice any of the following signs, you should immediately call a professional overhead door company.
Noises that are not part of the original song
There are several signs that you will need to call a garage door services professional if you hear extra noises. There may be some noises from the door as it moves, such as squeaking or clicking. Even though you might think it isn’t a big deal, it may present a dangerous situation if you fail to request garage services. You might need to tighten bolts or replace a wearing spring if you hear the noise. The failure of this spring or these bolts can cause expensive damage to your garage doors and injury or even death. If your door system starts making strange noises, you should contact a professional immediately for a repair.
Some sections are sagging.
Eventually, if the door is not properly maintained over time, it will start to sag. As a result, you will begin to see considerable gaps under the ends of the door when this happens. To prevent this, you will need to make sure that the door is always balanced every month.
- Step one. Disconnect the garage door opener from the door by pulling the emergency release cord.
- Step two. Bring the door down halfway and release some of your grips.
- Step 3. Once the grip is loosened, pay close attention to what happens next. If the door slams down or flies out of your hands, the tension spring has worn out or is faulty. If that’s the case, you’ll need to call a professional to help alleviate the problem and avoid replacement.
- Step 4a: If the door does not react, re-engage the opener and follow up in a month.
- Step 4b: If the door reacted, we recommend closing the door and calling A1 for a repair service.
Slow Response
Observe the length of time it takes for the garage doors to open/close when you use your remote to see if your door is operating at an optimal level. It should take two seconds for your door to respond to these commands. If there is a delay beyond two seconds, it may signify that your garage doors need a professional tune-up. If your door does nothing when you press the open or close buttons on your remote, you may find a bigger problem. Your garage door opener may need to be programmed, or you may have complex wiring issues.
Faulty Photo-Eye Sensor
The photo-eye sensor (also called the safety sensor) tells your garage doors to stop closing or opening if there is an obstruction. An infrared beam shines from one sensor to the other. When the infrared beam is obstructed and the garage door opener continues to close or open, this could present a dangerous situation. If the garage doors don’t open or close when you press the buttons on the garage doors opener, there could be an alignment problem with the photo-eye. Call a professional to get a service repair on your garage door opener when these issues arise.
Roller Issues
The nylon rollers on your doors keep your door on its track. A nylon roller can wear over time and become bent, broken, or faulty. Deformed rollers can cause loud noises, bend the hinges, and roll the door off its tracks when this happens. You’ll need precision garage door rollers to fix the issue to solve this problem. Ensure you get a skilled garage tech to take care of the problem.
The Door Is Off the Tracks
This repair can directly correlate with the roller issues we’ve stated above. Bad rollers can cause the door to go off its tracks. It can be challenging to get the door back on the tracks when this happens. This is not a problem you want to leave or tackle independently. Getting a door back on its tracks may require particular parts, heavy equipment, and extra labor. A professional garage service can work with this problem and get your door back in shape, safely, and professionally.
