Tune-up
A quieter door and fewer surprise breakdowns
- Moving parts lubricated
- Balance and reverse tested
- Worn parts pointed out
Garage doors give warning before they quit: louder runs, a jerk near the top, a door that drifts down when you let go of it halfway. A tune-up catches those signs while the fix is still small.
Our tech lubricates the hinges, rollers and bearings, tightens loose hardware, tests the balance and the opener's safety reverse, and tells you what's wearing. If the rollers or cables are close to done, you'll hear the price and decide from there.
Door getting louder?
Book a tune-up before the noise turns into a breakdown.
What a tune-up includes
The checklist targets the parts that wear first on a door that gets used every day.
Lubrication
Hinges, roller bearings and springs get a garage-door lubricant, not heavy grease that collects dirt.
Hardware tightening
Constant opening and closing works bolts loose. Hinges, brackets and track mounts get snugged back up.
Balance test
The door is lifted by hand to see if it holds at mid-height. A door that drops or climbs needs spring attention.
Opener and sensor test
Force settings, travel limits and auto-reverse checked, and the safety eyes cleaned and lined up.
Tune-up or repair?
Tune-up
Everything still runs, just louder or rougher than before, or nobody has serviced it lately. Think prevention.
Repair
Something has already failed: a broken spring, a cable off the drum, a door off track. Call for a repair visit instead.
When to book a tune-up
Schedule one if:
- It's louder than it used to beDry rollers and loose hardware are the usual culprits.
- It jerks or shuddersOften a binding roller or a track that has shifted.
- It won't stay put halfwayA door that drifts up or down is out of balance.
- The bottom seal is tornGaps at the floor let in water, leaves and bugs.
- Nobody remembers the last serviceA yearly check suits most household doors.
Safety first. Lubricating hinges and wiping the tracks is fine for a homeowner. Leave the springs, cables and bottom brackets alone; they're under heavy tension and can cause serious injury.
