(EstateNewsWire.com, August 07, 2012 ) Sacramento, CA – There are steps homeowners can take to insure that their garage doors operate smoothly. To avoid costly repairs, one should follow these easy steps. Regular servicing by a professional is always the best way to keep one’s garage doors operating in peak condition, but one can perform some simple maintenance at home and keep their doors operating smoothly.
Most homeowners do not know that there are moving parts on one’s garage door that need regular maintenance to keep them working properly. Unfortunately some garage doors and openers fail because those parts have had no attention since the door was installed new. Garage Doors Sacramento (Cost Less Garage Doors) recommends having one’s garage door and opener serviced at twice a year. The homeowner can do some things on their own to keep the garage doors operating smoothly. One should visit http://www.garagedoorssacramentorepair.com/ or can call 916-960-8449 for more information.
One should check the operation of the garage door. Does it go up and down smoothly or does it bind up on one side or the other? If it binds up, check to make sure all the rollers are in place and rolling smoothly. Sometimes rollers can pop out of the bracket and be cocked to one side. If this is the case, make sure the roller is not bent. If it is, one should call a professional to replace it. If it is not bent, one can usually place the roller back into the bracket easily and then spray some WD-40 on the roller to lubricate it. Usually however, there is a reason the roller popped out in the first place.
Check the track to make sure it is not bent or flared out causing the roller to become loose inside the track. If the track is bent, it could have been struck a vehicle, or it could have just loosened up over time at the brackets from not being installed properly. If the track looks bent or it is flared out and the roller will not stay in the track, one should call Cost Less Garage Doors Sacramento for a service call before there is further damage to the door.
Check the hinges and the screws that connect them to the door panels, it they are loose, tighten the screws. If any of the hinges are bent or broken, they should be replaced by a professional garage door repair expert like those at Cost Less Garage Door. If the hinges are all straight and tight, a little lubrication will keep them from binding up.
Garage door Sacramento specialists, Cost Less Garage Doors, recommend lubricating the rollers, hinges and springs of the garage doors regularly to keep them rust free, especially in salt-air environments. Springs, rollers, cables and hinges can become damaged if they are not regularly lubricated. Once a roller or hinge is damaged, it has to be replaced. If not replaced, damage could be even more extreme if the door hangs up in the opening because of a bad roller. Cables can snap also which may cause the door to drop causing a safety hazard.
Check the operation of the door opener. If the door goes up too far or down too far, it could cause the cables to slacken which will cause them to become tangled and possibly snap. It is very important that the door operator limits are adjusted correctly. If the door is over traveling or not coming down far enough, the limits are off and will need to be reset. One should call a professional garage door specialist to have the operator limits adjusted properly to prevent damage to door, cables or rollers.
A garage door and garage door opener are a pretty substantial investment in any home and should be cared for by a trained garage door Sacramento repairman like the ones at Cost Less Garage Door. A quick check at least twice a year by the homeowner will catch any potential problems. If a problem is discovered, one should call a professional to service the garage door.
