Garage Door Trouble Spots
Posted on by

If you begin to experience problems opening or closing your garage door, there are a few different areas you can check for issues. When you have an idea of how serious the problem is, you’ll know if its something simple that you can repair yourself, or if its something that might require the services of a garage door repair specialist.

One of the first places you should look for potential complications is on the garage door tracks and mounting brackets. There are occasions where the brackets might become loose, and a repair is as simple as screwing the brackets tightly back into place. If it looks like the track is damaged, however, it might need to be replaced. It’s a good idea to call a company like Premium Garage Door Service for this kind of job.

Other areas to check if you have problems opening your garage door include the opener itself if your garage door has an automatic opener. These systems utilize a system of pulleys and cables, and like anything with moving mechanical parts, the parts can wear out and fail over time. If your opener needs repaired, you’ll likely want to leave that to a professional repair company.

A lot of behind-the-scenes work goes into opening a garage door. A system of springs, pulleys, cables, and motors comes into play, each piece critical to reaching that ultimate goal of an open door. But one part, the spring, is especially important because it is the most used part. The heavy use it endures often causes it to be the part that fails most often.

Have a Bent Garage Door Track?
Posted on by

If your garage door is having problems opening and closing, a number of issues could be the cause. Often times, a bent garage door track is to blame. This is the section of the garage door that guides the door’s rollers, and keeps the door in its place. Here’s what a bent track looks like.

If your garage door track looks like this, especially in the area where opening and closing the garage door proves difficult, it’s been bent somehow. This can happen due to a car hitting the garage door, or a person kicking or falling into a garage door. When faced with a problem like this, it’s probably a good idea to call in a specialist for a repair. If you try to repair the garage door track on your own, you run the risk of damaging it further, as well as potentially damaging the rest of the garage door assembly if something goes wrong.

Give us a call today to set up an appointment, and we’ll come out and decide on the best course of action for your garage door track.

3 Major Benefits of a New Garage Door
Posted on by

There are a number of different reasons a new garage door makes sense for your home, and a few big benefits you can receive by going with such a purchase. We’ve picked the top three and detailed them below.

Increased home value. For homes that sell at $175,000 or higher, a $2,000 garage door investment could add as much as $7,000 to the resale value. That’s a great investment.

More protection. Depending on the type of garage door you have in place now, a newer garage door could provide greater security not only to the vehicles that are stored inside your garage, but to your family as well, since many garages have an entry door to the home.

A cleaner home. A new garage door with a keypad for entry can become a second front door. When coming indoors from poor weather conditions, or from a dirty job, your garage gives you a sheltered location to take off your messy items of clothing before entering the actual home. This helps keep your home clean.
