When To Replace Your Garage Door Springs: Warning Signs You Shouldn't Ignore
If you're like most homeowners, you don't give much thought to your garage door springs — until they malfunction, that is. Over time, however, wear and tear can take its toll, leading to potential failure. The last thing you want is to find out your springs are faulty when you're already late for an important meeting or during harsh weather. So, knowing when to replace these essential components is key to maintaining a safe and functional garage environment.
Assessing And Fixing A Noisy Garage Door
Both homeowners and their neighbors may be bothered by a loud garage door. The noise is bothersome and may also be a clue that your door is not working properly. If you are experiencing problems with noise, it is paramount to find the source of the garage door problem and address it as soon as possible.
Tip: Inspect The Tracks And Rollers
The garage door's rollers and tracks are essential for its proper functioning.
Why Won'T Your Garage Door Stay Closed?
Residential garage doors are surprisingly heavy and rely on springs under extreme tension to open and close smoothly. As a result, anything that affects their operation can be potentially dangerous. While a door that won't stay shut isn't as unsafe as one that refuses to remain up, it's still important to address any issues to ensure your door operates as safely as possible.
As with any relatively complex system in your home, there are multiple potential causes for any symptom you may experience.
