How to detect if your garage door needs service when still working

 

After years of use, parts of your garage door hardware will wear out and eventually break. This is due to metal fatigue. It's often easy to tell when the garage door is not working properly, for example: ​

 

• You struggle to open and close the door.

• The door makes loud friction noises when opening and closing.

• The door is out of balance (crooked) when fully open.

• The door shakes a lot when it goes up or down. ​
