What’s Included in Annual Garage Door Maintenance?
Annual garage door maintenance is vital for safety, reliability, and long-term performance. It helps prevent costly breakdowns by identifying and fixing minor issues like worn springs, misaligned tracks, or noisy operation before they worsen.
A professional technician typically inspects all components—including springs, cables, hinges, rollers, tracks, and weather seals—for signs of wear or damage. The service also includes checking the door’s balance and alignment, lubricating moving parts to reduce friction and noise, tightening loose hardware, and testing the garage door opener’s motor, sensors, and auto-reverse mechanism.
Weather seals are evaluated for cracks or gaps, and rollers or hinges are replaced if needed. Spring tension is tested to ensure proper door lifting. While homeowners can perform basic upkeep, annual professional maintenance is recommended to ensure safety and efficiency.
