What causes motor failure in garage doors?

Garage door opener motors can fail for several reasons. The most common causes include: **Age and wear** - Most openers last 10-15 years with regular use. After this, internal components naturally wear out. **Overheating** - Running the motor too frequently without rest periods can cause overheating. This is common during moves or when children play with the door. **Power surges** - Electrical spikes from storms or grid issues can damage motor circuits. A surge protector can help prevent this. **Excessive strain** - An unbalanced door, worn springs, or track problems force the motor to work harder than designed. **Moisture and debris** - Garages aren't sealed environments, and moisture can corrode electrical components. Regular maintenance helps identify these issues before complete failure occurs.

What's included in your maintenance service?

Our comprehensive maintenance service includes a complete 25-point inspection and tune-up: **Visual Inspection** - Check all hardware, springs, cables, rollers, and tracks for wear or damage. **Lubrication** - Apply professional-grade lubricant to all moving parts including hinges, rollers, springs, and locks. **Balance Testing** - Verify the door is properly balanced to prevent opener strain. **Safety Testing** - Test auto-reverse functionality and photo-eye sensors. **Hardware Tightening** - Secure all bolts, brackets, and mounting hardware. **Opener Adjustment** - Adjust force and travel limits for optimal operation. **Weatherstrip Inspection** - Check seals and recommend replacements if needed. Regular maintenance prevents 80% of common breakdowns and extends your door's lifespan by 5-10 years.

Payment is due upon completion of work, and we provide detailed invoices for your records.

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend professional maintenance once per year for most residential garage doors. However, you may need more frequent service if: **Heavy usage** - Opening/closing more than 5 times daily. **Extreme climate** - Very hot, cold, or humid conditions. **Older system** - Doors old benefit from semi-annual checkups. **Commercial use** - Heavy-duty applications need quarterly maintenance. Between professional visits, you can extend your door's life by keeping tracks clean, listening for unusual sounds, and testing the balance and safety features monthly.
