Halfway through the month is a good time to give your garage door a quick once-over.
You don’t need to take anything apart or make adjustments yourself. Just spend a few minutes looking and listening for changes.
Here’s a simple checklist:
✅ Listen while the door runs
Grinding, popping, squeaking, or rattling can be signs that something is wearing out.
✅ Watch how the door moves
It should travel smoothly without jerking, shaking, or leaning to one side.
✅ Check the rollers and hinges
Look for visible wear, cracks, loose hardware, or anything that looks out of place.
✅ Look at the cables and springs
If you see fraying, gaps, damage, or anything unusual, stop using the door and have it inspected.
✅ Check the tracks
Keep them clean and free of debris. Don’t pack them with grease or lubricant.
✅ Test the safety sensors
Make sure they’re clean, aligned, and unobstructed.
✅ Inspect the weather seal
Look for cracking, gaps, or damaged sections that could let in water, debris, or pests.
✅ Pay attention to the opener
If it sounds strained, stops early, or behaves differently than usual, don’t ignore it.
A few minutes of attention can help catch small problems before they turn into larger, more expensive repairs.
