One way to keep your electric garage door from Pontypridd functioning is to make sure it is always in good condition. How can you know if something is wrong with the door? Regular inspection can ensure timely detection and repair of electric garage door problems.
As a homeowner, you can carry put weekly, monthly or annual garage door inspection to keep yourself abreast on the state of your garage door.
1. Balance test – Close the door then disconnect the opener system. Try opening the door manually. The door should open with ease and should remain open. If you realise that your door either does not remain open or does not open easily, then it has a problem with balance and should be fixed as soon as possible.
2. Monthly visual inspection – Close the garage door and stand inside the garage. Inspect the cables, springs, mounting hardware such as hinges, cables, and pulleys. Examine the door carefully to make sure the cabled has not frayed or worn out. Open the door and listen carefully for something odd about the electric garage door. Do not hesitate to contact a professional to help you repair the garage door if there are any issues.
3. Reversing mechanism test – An electric door with a sensor reverses the direction of the door once it senses an object on its way. Place a piece of wood on the way of the garage door and then close the door. Once it reaches the wood, it should open immediately. If your electric garage door does not open, then the sensors are not working properly and need to be replaced.
4. Lubrication – Lubricate all moving parts of your electric garage door from Pontypridd once every six months. This will reduce wear and tear.
These are maintenance tests that you can carry out on your electric garage door. You can always contact our professionals from Access Garage Doors to help you with the inspection.
