Deerfield garage doors are an expensive home installation and play a major role in your home’s security and accessibility. Therefore, you should be on the lookout for any abnormal occurrences and call a professional immediately for an inspection.
Slow response or stuck doors
Your garage door should open and close smoothly without getting stuck. Call a professional if you notice it is responding slower than usual, won’t open or close, or gets stuck in the middle. That might indicate an issue with the door, opener, cables, or rollers. It could also be dirt in the tracks.
Noisy operation
While some noise from the garage door is normal, look out for new and loud noises.
- Banging or knocking might indicate an issue with the springs, which could make the door unbalanced.
- Squeaking or squealing indicates you might have a loose roller or damaged things. It might also mean your door needs extra lubrication.
- Popping mostly happens when the door is unbalanced or the torsion springs, tracks, and hinges have issues.
- Rattling probably points to loose bolts or nuts. It could also be from an unbalanced door.
Unresponsive remote
The obvious reasons for this could be a power outage or old remote batteries. If the two are okay, you might be dealing with an old opener or interference from debris blocking the signal.
Physical damage to the door
Damage to your door could affect its functionality and effectiveness. Leaving it unattended for a long time could worsen it, resulting in more expensive repairs or a replacement.
Regular maintenance
Having a professional inspect every door component a few times a year helps ensure your door works properly and diagnose issues early. That increases your door’s lifetime and saves you money.
