We recommend scheduling professional garage door maintenance at least once a year. If your garage door gets heavy use, consider biannual maintenance to catch early signs of wear.

While some tasks like cleaning and lubrication can be done at home, other tasks, like spring adjustment, safety sensor testing, and cable inspections—are best handled by professionals. DIY maintenance can sometimes lead to injury or void warranties, so it’s best to trust experienced technicians.

If your garage door is making excessive noise, moving unevenly, or not responding to commands smoothly, it’s time for maintenance. Other signs include visible rust, worn-out rollers, and loose bolts or brackets.

While maintenance helps prevent many issues, it doesn’t eliminate the need for repairs altogether. Regular maintenance greatly reduces the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns and extends the lifespan of your components, but some parts may still need occasional repair or replacement due to natural wear and tear.
