While we may not realize it every day, our garage door is an important part of the garage. Not only does a garage door keep your vehicles, lawn equipment and personal belongings safe from the outside environment, it also provides you with ease of access. Unfortunately, when problems occur for your door, the safety and accessibility of your garage can also be hindered.
With a variety of electrical work, moving parts, springs, cables, and openers, it may be hard to discern what is causing the issue. As a homeowner, it is important to understand and identify the common garage door issues. Below we have listed some problems that either need basic troubleshooting or require necessary repairs.
Garage Door Opener Will Not Work:
This is one of the most common issues seen throughout all garage door owners. Either there is an issue with the mechanically operated opener in your garage door or the electrical door remote is unresponsive. The cables and/or springs may have snapped or have a build-up of friction. The remote itself may either need a new battery or a reprogramming.
Unusual Noises:
You may begin to hear loose or squeaky sections of your door while its opening or closing. This can occur over time as your doors system is subjected to water, sand, and rust formation. Depending on the severity, repairs may be needed to fix any of the bad springs or cables of your garage door.
Cracks or Leaks:
The weather sealant on your door is designed to protect the inside from the outside elements. If you notice any cracks or water leaks from your door, the old sealant may need to be removed and a new one installed.
Door Closes, Then Opens:
Doors that do not remain open or closed after operation, may trace back to an issue with the garage door’s photo-eyes. These devices need to remain aligned for the door to stay in its intended position. If one of the devices are not replicating a light at all, they may need to be repaired or replaced.
