3 Quick Tips To Fix the Garage Door In Minutes

There are many problems that you could encounter with your garage door. The best way to control the issues is to keep a regular check on your garage doors. Here are some of the avoidable repairs with your doors: 

  

Door Opener 

Your door opener may face issues during winters. The circuits of the door opener can get affected by snow. Snow can erode the circuits of the door opener. Check the power supply and connections, as well as the circuit breaker and fuse. If the door will not close, or reverses when it hits the floor, then you need to check the close limiter switch. If the door doesn’t open completely, you need to check the limit switch. Avoid hitting the button repeatedly, this could make things worse. 

  

Frozen Door 

  

Your garage doors can freeze in winters. The frozen door can get stuck, especially in the days when you need to open and close it quickly to stop the cold air flow in. You may place a portable heater next to the garage door to melt the ice away. If placing heater next to your door is not an option, you can use commercial ice melting products to melt ice. 

  

Maintenance and Readjustments 

Most of the time, the door only needs to be readjusted and a few maintenance procedures are needed to be done. Readjustment is possible in cases when the door is making noises, or keeps getting stuck, or does not open properly. 

However, maintenance includes lubricating the tracks and hinges, rollers, cleaning and wiping the moving parts to remove dirt, and adjusting weather stripping, etc. Your door needs maintenance and readjustments at least once every year.
