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.

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.

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.
