Contact A Garage Door Repair Service When You Notice These Issues With Your System

Blog

An automatic garage door system isn't a complicated system, and it's pretty easy to identify when you are experiencing a problem with your garage door that requires a service technician. If your garage door is making loud noises, or you can't get the door to stay in the open position, a technician should be called to come and repair your garage door. You might have a small problem where you just need to have your tension springs adjusted or have a more substantial issue that requires you to have a new opener installed. When you contact a garage door repair service, a technician will come and figure out what is going wrong with your system.

Your Tension Springs are Loose 

Loose tension springs cause several problems with your garage door system that require a service to come and make a repair. If your garage door opens very slowly, this can be caused by loose springs that are not helping to hold the heavy weight of the door as it opens. If your door shuts more than a few inches in the open position, this also indicates your tension springs are loose and need to be adjusted. Don't touch your tension springs, as they can snap if you don't know what you are doing.

The Door Keeps Reversing Direction

There are a number of reasons your garage door might reverse direction midstream. If you have debris in the track, the door might reverse direction. When you have a missing bracket, the tracks are no longer parallel, and this can cause the door to change direction. If something is in the way when you go to shut your garage door, the sensor may reverse the garage door to prevent shutting on the object.

You Hear Loud Noises From Your Garage Door System

The opener can make a loud noise if you need to lubricate the interior of the opener, or there could be something stuck in one of your wheels. If you hear a new noise and can't find the source, a garage door repair service will be able to make any needed repairs.

Any changes to how your garage door system is working merit a call to a garage door repair service. New noises should be investigated further, and a malfunctioning door should be repaired to avoid a complete system failure. Avoid adjusting tension springs on your own, as they are dangerous to do on your own.
