Garage Door Repair and Installation Spring Branch, TX
With years of experience in the industry, New Braunfels Garage Door Repair provides the highest quality garage door services in Spring Branch, TX. Not only is your garage door the largest door in your home, it’s also the single largest moving part as well. So hopefully it makes sense that you should want to take care of it as much as possible. That’s one big part to need to replace, for one thing. Plus, if it stops working, you’re going to have quite a hassle on your
hands. One of the easiest ways you can take care of your garage door is simply by staying alert. Whenever you open or close it, watch to make sure it functions smoothly. The entire door should go up and down without any jerking. It should also be perfectly symmetrical. There should be very little noise and especially no alarming sounds like grinding or scraping.
Did you know that the average garage door is used well over 1,000 times each year? That’s a lot of mileage on all those small parts your system relies on to work properly. This means plenty of vibration is working its way toward loosening up everything from bolts to roller brackets. Fortunately, as long as you have a socket wrench and a few minutes, you can tighten everything up so that it works properly and without issue. A garage door that isn’t balanced stands very little chance of working correctly. This imbalance will eventually become a big enough issue that your garage door simply breaks because of all the stress put on the opener. To check the balance on your door, pull the red cord (or whatever your door uses as a release handle) and then manually move the door halfway up. If your door doesn’t stay there, the balance is amiss and you should call one of our professionals.

Garage Door Replacements in Spring Branch, Texas
Remember, the high-tension cables used to lift your door are nothing to mess around with. You could be seriously injured or even killed. However, there’s no harm in checking around the bottom roller bracket to make sure they’re still intact and working well. If you do spot a problem, just call our team. You should also look into your garage door’s safety features. This means sticking something like a brick or piece of wood on its threshold to ensure the door will back up once it hits this material. Most garage doors should also have a photocell component. If yours doesn’t, that probably means it’s quite old and you should think about replacing it. With the photocell component, shut the door and while closing, put your foot through the invisible beam. This should trip the system and send the door moving back up again.
Lastly, one of the easiest things you can do is apply lubrication. All it takes is about 10 minutes a year to make sure your garage door is properly lubricated and working smoothly. Your home improvement store will once again have the supplies you need which is just some lubrication spray for the overhead springs and some white lithium grease for the chain or screw your opener uses.
