Welcome back! In our last post, we talked about the problems that drastic changes in temperatures can cause to our garage door springs and other components. Believe it or not, spring’s crazy weather patterns can cause garage door springs to become fatigued, and in turn, cause the springs and other mechanics to fail. 70 degree days, 40 degree nights, and 30 degree mornings can effect garage doors, in ways you’d never imagine. While we can’t control these problems, we can contact a Raleigh garage door repair specialist to come out and help make sure that the springs are OK during this time of weather uncertainty.

Raleigh Garage Door Repair: It’s Time for a Maintenance Check!

In addition to checking the springs, Raleigh garage door repair specialists should also check these components, as they’re the ones that are likely to wear down during temp changes:

• Cable system
• Bottom brackets
• Rollers
• Hinges
• Bearings

While the tech is out checking for damage on these components, they should also go ahead and check the garage door opener. Depending on its age, and the extra work it’s been doing trying to open the garage door during the extreme weather, it might need maintenance work, as well. When springs weaken due to weather, the garage door opener has to work harder. If the opener is not set within the safety limits and it continues to lift a garage door that is becoming heavier with each use, severe wear and tear will occur to the opener.
Homeowners should carefully consider hiring an experienced, qualified Raleigh garage door repair company to come out and do any repairs that needs to be done, as soon as there is a sign that something’s wrong.
