Residential Garage Door Anatomy and Common Repair Symptoms

We take for granted the complex machinery behind most modern garage doors. A garage door is called upon day after day, year after year. When it fails, there may be a variety of reasons why. In this article, we’ll go over some symptoms so you know when to call your garage door doctor.

• Check for excessive noise while opening or closing. This may come from the chain rattling, the rollers screeching or the motor hissing. Each of these would warrant a phone call for emergency garage door repair.
• Check if the door hangs crooked in the open position. This may be a sign your springs are wearing down.
• Check if the door does not open or close properly. If it stutters as it rises or falls, your tracks may be blocked.
• Check the ‘electric eye’ - the sensor that detects an object, person or pet. Make sure your door automatically stops or reverses when the sensor activates.
