F.A.Q

The garages-door’s may get halfway stuck while opening or closing

Answers to common inquiries about garage door repair, troubleshooting, and maintenance. Covers the basics.

How do I avoid broken garage door springs and cables?

You definitely need to replace garage door cables and springs before they become too old and lose their flexibility and, thus, their ability to lift the door. In the meantime, it is wise to check them often and never forget the importance of lubrication maintenance. You must inspect them often and if you notice that the garage door is moving slower, you need to check their condition and do the appropriate repairs.

What detergents must I use for garage door cleaning?

There are various products on the market but it is preferable to stick to mild ones or use the liquid for the dishes. If you own wood garage doors, choose the most appropriate one for natural materials. If you find mold or rust, choose a special detergent to ensure it is coming off. Glass doors need plain soaps and you must remember not to scrub steel garage doors with force.

What should I do with my rusty garage door?

If there are only scarce signs of rust on the door, you should scrub them with a sponge and detergent. The experts of our garage door company  insist of painting the door afterwards with overlays, which can make the panel resistant. If the problem has expanded, replace the door.

Why is my timer-to-close not closing after the amount of time I set?

Most timer-to-close features won’t work if you haven’t activated the timer. This means that, like an alarm clock, unless it is set for the next day or particular days, it will not perform the function.

Does the garage door remote need maintenance?

Yes, it does require care. You should keep it protected from water, dust and dirt. You should clean the buttons, the infrared unit cover and the inner compartment regularly. Clean the battery contacts with white vinegar. Avoid operating the remote with dirty or greasy fingers.

How will I know if my garage door requires servicing?

The most important thing you can do is to simply listen for increasing squeaks or rattles and have a good look for the areas they are coming from. Mechanical failures will typically be audible as they get worse. If your door is not smooth and quiet, there are improvements that can be made.
