Regular professional maintenance is the smartest investment you can make for your garage door system. At Optima Garage Doors, our maintenance services are comprehensive and carried out to ensure all the components of your garage door are working properly to give you peace of mind all year round.
The Value of Regular Maintenance
Your garage door is the largest moving part of your house and undergoes considerable mechanical wear and tear with each operation. With time, the lubricants dry out, the hardware loosens, the springs weaken, and the door gets out of alignment. If not attended to, all these minor problems add up to costly problems down the road, leaving you stranded and having to call for emergency services. A well maintained garage door not only runs quietly and smoothly but also lasts longer and keeps you and your family safe, it is recommended to professionally maintain your garage door at least once a year, especially if it is frequently used.
What Our Garage Door Maintenance Service Includes
When you call Optima Garage Doors to provide maintenance services for your garage door, we carry out a comprehensive checklist to ensure your garage door and all the components are working properly and not neglected in any way, our services include a visual inspection of all the hardware, including the springs, cables, and rollers, to check for wear and tear and we also lubricate all the moving components, including the hinges, rollers, springs, and the opener drive system. We also tighten all the bolts and brackets and check and balance the door to ensure it is evenly weighted. We check the safety sensors and the auto reverse feature to ensure they are working properly. Finally, we check the weatherstripping and the bottom seal and the overall condition of the door panels for any signs of denting, rust, and warping.
Spring Inspection and Care
Garage door springs are under tremendous tension at all times. They are the most prone part of the garage door to fail without warning. Our service includes inspection for corrosion elongation, and metal fatigue. We apply a special lubricant to the springs to prevent rust buildup. If we find that the springs are getting close to the end of the cycle life, we will let you know so you can schedule a replacement before the spring suddenly breaks, interrupting your daily routine.
Track and Roller Service
Misaligned dirty, or damaged tracks can cause the garage door to run unevenly, loudly, or not at all. Our service includes cleaning out old debris from the tracks, checking for proper alignment, and checking the rollers for flat spots. Bad rollers put extra stress on the opener motor. It is highly recommended that the rollers be replaced every few years. New high quality nylon rollers will greatly reduce the noise level of the garage door, which is a major consideration if you live above the garage.
Opener Tune Up
The garage door opener works hard every day. It is a critical part of the garage that benefits greatly from a professional tune up. Our service includes inspection of the motor, drive system, circuit board, remote control, and all safety features. A well maintained opener will run more efficiently, provide longer life, and offer the reliable service you expect every day. If your opener is getting old, we can discuss the benefits of new high tech replacements from LiftMaster or Genie, which include WiFi technology.
