3 Reasons Garage Door Maintenance is Better than Repair

Preventative maintenance helps protect your investment and keep your garage door in top working condition

A garage door can be a big investment, especially if you have a custom door that was hand crafted especially for your property. At Dynamic Garage Door, we offer a special Preventative Maintenance service designed to help protect your investment and keep your garage door and garage door opener in the best possible condition. Our Preventative Maintenance service includes an annual 15-point inspection and tune up from one of our expert garage door technicians. We service all major brands of garage door openers including Chamberlain-Liftmaster, Genie, Sears, Marantec, Craftsman, Linear, Sommer, and more.

Here are 3 important reasons to call us for your annual service now rather than waiting for something to go wrong with your garage door and require repair.

Safer

First and foremost, annual maintenance helps to ensure the safety of your garage door opener system. During the 15-point inspection, we check key safety features such as the reversing mechanism and the photo eye sensor to make sure they are working properly. This helps ensure that you will continue to be protected against accidents involving the garage door closing on a pet, a vehicle, or a person. We also check your garage door springs’ integrity to guard against the possibility of a broken spring causing sudden injury or damage.

Convenient

There is never a convenient time to have a garage door problem. However, you can schedule preventative maintenance whenever it is convenient for you. This way, you can get our expert eyes on your garage door setup at a time that works for you, and hopefully prevent worn or damaged parts from causing a sudden and very inconvenient failure later on down the line. We will check all moving parts plus the battery and ensure they are in optimum condition. We will also lubricate the rails to help ensure smooth and quiet performance. If something seems out of whack, we will notify you of the problem, provide an estimate for the repair work, and get your approval before fixing it.

Cheaper

There are many small moving parts in a garage door opener. Though these parts are not expensive on their own, should they fail they can eventually cause very costly collateral damage. For example, if the bearings that run your garage door up and down in its tracks wear out, they can cause uneven motion that may warp the tracks and eventually cause the door itself to warp, crack, or break. It is much more cost-effective to invest in annual garage door maintenance and repair small problems before they can become bigger ones.
