Three key signs you need to repair your garage door

A garage door is one of the most effective ways to protect your home or business. It also increases the aesthetic value of your home and therefore may add value. So if it becomes damaged or broken, it is important to diagnose the problem and get it fixed straight away. However, you may not always know what the key signs of garage door repairs are. To help, Cornwall Garage Doors has created a list of the key signs to look out for when considering garage door repair.

1.  Strange noises

As garage doors age, they can become noisier. An effective garage door should be practically silent when opening or closing.  So if you are hearing loud or strange noises from your garage doors, it could be time for a garage door service. Garage door rattles are often caused by the loosening of a part of the door such as the track or the hinge. You can check yourself when the door is closed to see if there is a screw loose and tighten it up with a screwdriver. If this doesn’t work and it is still making noises, you should get in touch with a professional.

2.  Unusual shaking or vibrations

If you have electronic garage doors , one major sign of garage door repair is unusual shaking or vibrations when it opens or closes. Again this could be a loose screw or a slight falling off of the chain. Either way, it’s likely that you need a garage door service. It may be tempting to leave it but this will only cause more damage in the long run.

3.  Slow opening or shutting

Slow garage doors can be extremely frustrating. It’s also a  sign that something isn’t working as it should be. First, check that your garage door isn’t set to slow mode. Next check that your rollers, hinges, and tracks are well lubricated, and give them some lithium or silicone spray to see if this eases the problem.
