Inspection and Tune-Up
Your garage door is one of the hardest-working components of your home, opening and closing thousands of times each year. Like any other mechanical system, it requires regular maintenance to ensure smooth operation, prevent wear and tear, and avoid unexpected breakdowns. At Quick Fix, we offer comprehensive garage door inspections and tune-ups to keep your system running safely and efficiently.
Why You Need Annual Inspections & Lubrication
-
1. Prevent Costly Repairs
Over time, moving parts like springs, rollers, and cables can wear down due to friction and stress. By having your garage door inspected and lubricated annually, you can prevent minor issues from becoming expensive repairs down the line. -
2. Extend the Life of Your Garage Door
Regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of your garage door system. Lubricating the moving parts helps to reduce friction, preventing rust and premature wear. Routine inspections also allow you to catch potential problems early, helping to avoid the need for major repairs or replacements. -
3. Improve Safety
A malfunctioning garage door can be a safety hazard. During our tune-up, we’ll check key safety features like the automatic reverse mechanism and photo-eye sensors to ensure your garage door operates securely. This reduces the risk of accidents, protecting both your family and property. -
4. Ensure Quiet, Smooth Operation
If your garage door is making squeaking or grinding noises, it’s often a sign that it needs lubrication. Annual lubrication helps ensure quiet, smooth operation by reducing friction between metal parts like hinges, rollers, and tracks. -
5. Enhance Energy Efficiency
A properly maintained garage door seals correctly, keeping drafts and outside temperatures from affecting your home’s energy efficiency. An inspection can ensure your weather stripping and seals are in good condition, which helps you save on energy bills.
