A noisy garage door if not addressed quickly can eventually become a
larger problem eventually requiring garage door replacement. Noisy garage doors
can be caused by any of the many springs, pulleys and cables that make the
opening system work. As garage door
installation experts in Lino Lakes, we would like to offer some of the reasons your garage door
could be making noise as well as how to keep your garage door working well all
summer.
You can
generally expect a garage door to last you for a decade or two after you have a
new one installed. But, once your garage door starts to act up, it may not be
long before you require garage door installation. Be sure you inspect your
garage door on a regular basis. About once a week or so, inspect the garage
door itself as well as the mechanisms to ensure everything is working as it
should. If you notice a part that is broken, frayed or worn through, call our
garage door company for assistance. Many parts of a garage door, especially the
springs, should only be repaired or replaced by a trained professional.
Inspect
When you
hear strange noises coming from your garage door, start by checking, tightening
and lubricating all parts of the opening system. Use a socket wrench to tighten
the nuts on the track system as well as tighten the opener chain and lubricate
the opener track, hinges, torsion bar bearings and springs. If none of these
work or if you are uncomfortable performing any of these tasks then contact the
garage door installation experts at Premium Garage Door Service for help.
It is
important to make sure your garage door opens and closes as it should to ensure
it lasts all summer. And, if your garage door is getting old and you would like
to look into a new garage door installation to update your home, now is a great
time of year to do it!
Pinpoint the Problem
By
identifying the type of noise your garage door is making, you can determine
what may be causing it. For example, a loud ticking sound could mean it’s the
rollers or a grating noise could mean it’s the coils. The well-trained ear of
an expert garage door installation specialist can listen to your garage door
and help pinpoint the problem.
