A garage door goes through a lot each time it is used, so it is obvious that it is bound to give problems and a call to emergency garage door repair becomes a must. Identifying potential issues can help save time and money. The most common garage door problems encountered are
· Garage door making loud noises: If the sound is like grinding or screeching, you can check the tracks for dirt or debris which need to be removed for smooth movement of door. A squeaking sound indicates rollers or bearings need lubrication. Popping noises would mean worn out rollers while screeching sounds would be because of worn cables. You would need garage door service in Melbourne for dealing with the last two problems.
· Garage door in moving unevenly: Uneven movement could be because of some debris that is blocking free movement of garage door. If there are no debris, but still the door is moving unevenly then the door springs need to be checked to ensure that both springs are of equal length and equally stretched.
· Garage door is not opening or closing: Check batteries of the remote, if they are dead, they need to be replaced. If batteries are not dead, then you can check to ensure the keypad is not damaged. Then check for the motor units to confirm power supply is not disconnected. Also ensure that motor’s fuse is fine.
These three are the most common problems faced by home owners with their garage doors. A regular maintenance would help in reducing problems but cannot eliminate them completely.
