Telltale Signs Your Garage Doors Need Urgent Help
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Many people are in for a surprise when they realize that their doors require some significant repairs or perhaps need replacing altogether. You can take your garage door for granted because it usually exists away in the back of the house in peace. Your car drives in and out, so you may not even think about your garage door at all until one day when you notice that it is beginning to show more wear than usual. Here are five signs that reveal a garage door may be worn out and beyond saving.

Do they shutter or shake?

Suppose your garage door shakes when opening or closing. That indicates something needs replacement. You should look for a few things, such as: does it start smoothly but jitters slightly for the last foot of its flight? It means a problem with the rollers that guide each side of the door or the tracks themselves. If your garage has an opener and reversing unit, mechanics may need to adjust how long it takes your door to travel back before moving forward again or change the timing of each part so they work correctly together.

However, if there are no reversing units installed on your door, you may have a damaged roller system causing your door not to run smoothly. It means you’ll need new rollers. No matter what the need, you must consider taking professional help from a garage door services company like Legacy Door Co. They can inspect the entire system thoroughly and provide the best solution.

Does it hang loosely?

Your garage door closes completely, but the bottom of it dips and droops a few inches beyond the clearance of your garage frame. In this scenario, it’s likely that the springs have stretched out or that the rollers and tracks lack proper alignment.

Did you observe any sign of chipping or warping?

Garage doors come in various materials, but none of them are as durable as you wish they were. Maybe a stray soccer ball dinged the corner, or excess sunlight caused cracks in the panels. Either way, your storage space may be vulnerable to damage. The bumps and cracks in your garage door (both physical and cosmetic) can stop it from adequately rubbing against the machinery that helps it to open and close accordingly. It can make things harder for hinges and let dirt and moisture get into the gaps. If you notice any maintenance or functionality challenge like this, bring these issues up right away with a local service company.

Do you hear a squeaky sound when closing or opening the door?

You hear a loud screech as the door opens or closes every time you access your garage. What’s more, is that you can’t seem to pinpoint what exactly it is that’s causing the noise. It could be that there’s a problem with the hardware, in which case it would end up being a costly repair job.

Your garage keeps your vehicle and other items safe. If you notice any problem with the door, you must reach out for help and get it fixed.
