Your garage door is likely made from sturdy, long-lasting materials, but it may still need maintenance or repairs on occasion. If there’s a problem, whether it’s big or small, resolve it before it worsens and affects the system. The following guide will help you spot issues that need to be addressed. 

How to Tell You Need Professional Garage Door Repairs?

1. Delayed Response 

If your garage door isn’t opening or closing as quickly as usual, try lubricating the hinges, tracks, and rollers. They may have become dry, causing the system to have difficulty moving. Call a professional for repairs if there’s no improvement after that, as they may have to clean the system more thoroughly. 

2. No Response

If there’s something stuck in the tracks or in the way of the signal, remove it to see if that helps. Otherwise, examine the cables and springs for signs of distortion or wear, like rust, cracks, or discoloration and contact an expert to fix the issue. 

3. Uneven Movement

You might notice that your garage door continues moving along the tracks even if you stop it at the halfway point, or one side may appear to be hanging or uneven. These signs indicate that the springs are out of balance with each other. The one straining hardest to hold most of the door may eventually break, so make sure you call an expert as soon as you see this issue to prevent further system damage.
