How Do I Know If My Garage Door Needs Repair?
Garage doors are essential to daily life, but when they start malfunctioning, it can be frustrating. AA Garage Door Services explains how to identify common signs that your garage door may need repair.
Unusual Noises or Jerky Movements
One of the first indicators that your garage door may need repair is unusual noises. If you hear grinding, squeaking, or loud banging sounds when the door opens or closes, this may indicate an issue with the tracks, rollers, or springs. Similarly, if the door moves unevenly or jerks as it opens or closes, it could signal problems with alignment or worn-out components.
AA Garage Door Services recommends having a professional technician inspect the door immediately to avoid further damage. Ignoring these sounds or movements can lead to bigger, costlier issues down the road.
Door Won’t Open or Close Properly
If your garage door fails to open or close completely, it’s another clear sign that it needs repair. This issue could be due to malfunctioning sensors, a broken opener, or misaligned tracks. If the door closes but then reverses back up, this may indicate a sensor issue or an obstruction blocking the sensors. Alternatively, if the door won’t open at all, it could be caused by a problem with the opener or power supply.
AA Garage Door Services is equipped to quickly diagnose and resolve these issues, ensuring that your garage door operates safely and efficiently. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can extend the lifespan of your door and prevent future malfunctions.
