What Are the Most Common Garage Door Problems?
Garage doors can experience a variety of issues over time, often due to wear and tear. AA Garage Door Services highlights the most common problems and how they can be addressed.
Malfunctioning Garage Door Opener
One of the most common problems homeowners face is a malfunctioning garage door opener. This can manifest in the door not opening or closing properly, or the opener making unusual noises. Several factors can contribute to these issues, such as a dead battery in the remote, a faulty motor, or misaligned sensors.
AA Garage Door Services recommends checking the power source first to rule out simple fixes, like replacing the battery or ensuring the opener is plugged in. If the problem persists, it could indicate an issue with the motor or wiring, which requires professional attention. Our technicians are skilled in diagnosing and repairing opener problems, ensuring your garage door functions smoothly again.
Broken Springs or Cables
Another frequent issue that affects garage doors is broken springs or cables. Garage door springs are under high tension and are responsible for balancing the door’s weight. Over time, these springs can wear out or break, causing the door to become unbalanced or inoperable. Similarly, cables that work in tandem with the springs can fray or snap, making it impossible to lift the door.
AA Garage Door Services advises against attempting to fix these issues yourself due to the potential danger of high-tension components. Our professional technicians are trained to safely replace springs and cables, restoring your garage door’s operation quickly and safely. Regular maintenance can also help prevent these problems from occurring.
