When properly installed and regularly maintained, a garage door system will last at least 15 to 20 years. At some point, over the course of its life, however, you can expect a component to wear out, thus, requiring garage door repair. To help you anticipate problems and figure out how to prevent them, Valley Isle Overhead Door in Kula, HI, has compiled a short list of the most common garage door problems for their customers.

If you have a garage door on your residential or commercial property, keep an eye out for the following problems that will affect its overall functioning:

  • Loud Noises: An overly loud garage door system isn’t only annoying; it can also be a sign there’s something wrong with the opener or door. Most likely, your track has come out of alignment, or you need to lubricate moving parts in your garage door opener. 
  • garage doorFailure to Open & Close: The smallest amount of damage could prevent your door from operating, including a dent in the door, a bent track, or an electrical problem with your opener. The best way to prevent them from happening is to use your door with caution and complete annual maintenance tasks.
  • Broken Sensors, Transmitters or Remote: For decades, garage door opening systems have relied on small sensors to detect anything in the door’s path, as well as a transmitter and remote combo to operate the door from afar. To prevent problems with these parts, check the power source regularly, and protect your system from damage.

Identifying these problems as soon as they occur extends the life of your garage door and ensures your property and family are safe from harm.
