Top 4 Garage Door Problems

Garage doors are pretty straightforward. Simply press a button and watch them go up, then come down. This occurs nearly every day. However, even the most reliable garage doors will eventually experience functionality issues. In this article we will discuss the top four garage door problems you may encounter, and how to handle them like a pro!

1. Noisy Garage Door

Is your garage door making more noise than usual? Typically a screeching, grinding, or squeaking noise can indicate a lack of lubrication. Applying lubricant to the rollers and tracks can help silence the ruckus. If the problem persists, some parts, such as hinges, may need to be replaced. Luckily this problem is not always serious.

2. Frozen Garage Door

Those of you who live in colder climates may be all too familiar with this garage door problem! Thanks to a combination of moisture and cold, sometimes garage doors will get stuck to the floor. Rather than pressing the opener over and over again, try to melt the ice! A hair dryer or heat gun works wonderfully. Or with a careful eye, you can use a shovel to chip away the ice. Being sure to remove snow, water, and ice from your garage door area will prevent freezing from recurring.

3. Unresponsive Remote Control

Opening your garage door is easy! When the remote control is working. Typically when the remote stops responding, it is because the device needs new batteries. If replacing the batteries does not solve the problem, you may need a new device. To check that the problem is with the remote as opposed to the door, you can open your garage with the manual wall switch.

4. Worn Out or Broken Springs

Has your garage door been struggling to open? This could indicate the springs are wearing out. Springs are an integral part of the garage door system, so it is imperative to make sure they are in working order. Due to the high pressure and risk, replacing the springs is a job best left to professionals.
