Your garage door is expected to open and shut smoothly, giving you a safe place to park your car and granting easy access into the house. However, even high-quality garage doors require servicing from time to time. C&C Garage Doors, Middletown, OH’s leading garage door installation company, knows the importance of recognizing the telltale signs of a garage door that is having trouble so it can be addressed in a timely manner.

Because of safety and security reasons, C&C Garage Doors warns against ignoring the following clues that your garage door is on the fritz:

• Strange Sounds: There are normal rhythmic sounds that a garage door makes, and then there are strange ones that indicate something else is going on. Listen closely, and if there is any loud whirring, squeaking, or clicking, it could mean a number of things are wrong and should be inspected.

• Slow Reaction: A garage door should typically react within a couple seconds of the garage door opener or button being pushed. If it’s taking longer than normal to start operating, there could be an issue with the springs, the remote opener, or a blockage somewhere. 
• Off Balance: When a garage door won’t close properly, it is usually a warning sign that it’s off balance. One side will seem to lag behind the other. This can be tested by stopping a garage door midway down to see if it will continue to fall further on its own, which signifies a problem with balance.

If you notice any of these signs with your own garage door, call C&C Garage Doors at (513) 423-6205 for expert garage door repair. Also, visit them online to find a full list of their garage door services.
