Garage door making strange noises, indicating maintenance needed

How Often Should I Perform Garage Door Maintenance?

If your sectional door is making strange noises, moving slower than usual or not closing all the way it is time to act. these are common signs that you are overdue for essential garage door maintenance. In San Antonio’s hot, humid climate, wear and tear on your garage system happens faster than you think. spirals lose tension, rollers accumulate dirt and openers struggle to keep up. without regular attention, what starts as a squeak can quickly turn into a snapped spring or a total system failure.

We recommend homeowners schedule garage door maintenance at least once per year or twice if your gate sees heavy use. routine checks help identify small issues before they become major repairs, such as:

  • Frayed cables
  • Worn torsion springs
  • Misaligned tracks
  • Dry or rusted rollers
  • Loose hardware or brackets

Skipping maintenance does not just lead to breakdowns it shortens the lifespan of your entire system. Do not wait for a noisy gate to become a broken one.

What Are the Most Critical Parts to Check During Maintenance?

A thorough garage door maintenance service does not just wipe down surfaces. it addresses the components that keep your door operating smoothly and safely.

Here are the most critical parts we inspect and service at Garage Repair San Antonio TX:

  • Springs: torsion and extension springs do the heavy lifting. if they wear out or break, your door may slam shut or not open at all.
  • Rollers and Hinges: these parts ensure smooth, quiet movement. dirt buildup or worn rollers can make the door jerk, vibrate or grind.
  • Tracks and Alignment: misaligned tracks can cause the door to derail. we realign them and check for dents or obstructions.
  • Opener and Sensors: we test motor function, inspect safety eyes and ensure your device responds properly to remotes and wall units.
  • Cables: rusty or frayed cables are a major safety hazard. we replace damaged cables before they snap and cause injury or property damage.

Neglecting these key components does not just impact convenience it can also compromise your home’s security. poorly functioning garage door makes it easier for intruders to access your property. with proper garage door maintenance, you protect your family, your belongings and your peace of mind.

How Can I Identify an Unbalanced Garage Door?

An unbalanced garage door is more than an inconvenience it is a ticking time bomb for your entire door mechanism. balance issues often go unnoticed until the damage is already done.

Here is how you can spot an unbalanced garage door:

  • One side hang lower than the other.
  • The door closes unevenly or stops midway.
  • You hear loud banging or popping sounds.
  • The opener struggles or fails to lift the door.
  • The door slams down instead of lowering smoothly.

An imbalanced garage door places uneven strain on the opener, coils and cables. Left unaddressed, it can burn out your opener motor or snap a spring, resulting in costly repairs or replacements. Routine garage door maintenance includes balance checks to catch these issues early. at Garage Repair San Antonio TX, we use professional tools and industry-standard tests to ensure your door is level and secure. we also lubricate moving parts, tighten bolts and modify the opener settings to keep everything running in sync. The longer you wait, the higher the mend costs. Do not ignore the signs. book your garage door maintenance appointment with our San Antonio specialists today and avoid expensive emergencies later.
