Common garage door problems include doors that won’t open or close properly, make unusual noises, or have broken springs. Remote control issues and problems with the door opener are also frequent. These issues can be due to various factors like wear and tear, misaligned tracks, or electrical faults.

It’s recommended to service your garage door at least once a year. Regular maintenance ensures smooth operation and helps identify potential issues before they become major problems. Signs that your door needs servicing include strange noises, slow or jerky movements, and difficulty in opening or closing.

While some minor repairs can be done DIY, such as lubricating moving parts or simple adjustments, most repairs should be handled by a professional. This is due to the complexity and potential safety hazards involved, especially with spring systems. Professional servicing ensures a safe and correct repair.

When selecting a new garage door, consider the material (wood, steel, aluminum), insulation properties (for energy efficiency), style (to match your home), security features, and budget. Also, think about maintenance requirements and the longevity of the materials used.

A garage door might need replacement if it’s extensively damaged, frequently requires repairs, or is very old and inefficient. Consider replacing your door if it lacks modern safety features, is a significant source of energy loss, or doesn’t fit the aesthetic of your home anymore.

First, check the batteries in the remote control. If the issue isn’t resolved, inspect the power source and circuit breaker. Look for any visible signs of damage or wear on the opener mechanism. If simple troubleshooting doesn’t work, it’s best to contact a professional, as the problem could be electrical or mechanical.
