Troubleshooting Tips Before Calling The Garage Door Repair Vendor

Damaged garage doors need repairs as soon as possible

. Garage door repair services provide extensive services from installation of openers to replacement of garage door parts. But before rushing to the phone to call the repair company, it is useful to know a few troubleshooting techniques to save money and time on unnecessary repairs.

An uneven garage door bottom means that there could be a frayed torsion spring cable. It could also mean that the garage door spring cable pulleys are too worn. The usual solution for such a problem is to replace the garage door spring cable or pulley. The simplest solution would be to insert a winding bar in the winding cone of the garage door spring, loosen the set screws, and let the other end of the winding bar rest against the top of the door. Do this to both springs if you have two springs. The shaft will be free to turn and you can replace the cables and reset and secure your cable drums. However, working with garage door spring tension is dangerous so its always best to leave this to the professionals.

Replacing garage door hinges is required every couple of years. Youll know when to replace your hinges if you find yourself struggling to close or open the doors (manually or with a garage door remote). Again, safety is a must and if you have zero idea about doors, it would be best to leave it to a garage door repair service vendor. But if you know some basics, here is a tip: To install the new garage door hinges, tap the hinge bolts through the bolt holes, preferably from the outside. Once tapped in, tighten the nut.

In most cases, when a garage door opens or closes by itself, or when you find your door open, upon returning home, the problem is due to a short somewhere with your garage door clicker receiver. This short is most likely to be in one of two places: either in one of your transmitters or in the wall button or its wiring. If youre using a genie garage door, you can call their support line for assistance on their garage door remotes and transmitters. The best thing to do to troubleshoot this garage door opener problem is to remove the batteries from your transmitters and try operating the door from the wall button. If the problem persists, immediately call a trusted garage door repair vendor, or a genie garage door support staff to fix it.
