Posted on by

Your garage doors are the largest moving part in your entire home, so you want to be sure they stay in good working order for as long as possible. Premium Garage Door fixes and installs garage doors in Oakdale and the surrounding areas, and we have a few tips on how to make sure yours stay in good shape for years to come.

The best thing you can do is take a look at your garage doors on a regular basis. Make sure there are not any parts that are missing or in need of repair or replacement. Tighten up any loose nuts and bolts. If you see anything that does not look right, call in a company that specializes in garage doors, like Premium Garage Door Service.

Then you should open and close your garage doors. Listen to them closely. Do they sound normal to you? Or are you hearing any odd noises? If you hear anything that is unusual, call us and we can come out and take a look at your garage doors to make sure they are still running safely and properly.

Test your garage doors to make sure they are balanced. You can do this by disconnecting the opener by pulling the release handle. Then move the door halfway up by hand. See if the door stays where you put it. If it does not, then call us for help with your garage doors. Balancing them and getting them back on track is a job for professionals like us. This is definitely not a do it yourself project!

Make sure your garage doors are properly lubricated too. This is another important part of making sure your garage doors work for as long as possible. Garage doors can get expensive to replace, so making sure yours stay in good shape can help save you time, money and hassle in the long run.

Finally, check all of the garage door cables and look for signs of wear or tearing. If you spot anything amiss, call us. We can come out and take a look and make any repairs that are necessary.

If you see anything that does not look right, do not hesitate to call us. We will come to your home or business and look at your garage doors to ensure they are working like they should be.
