Common Garage Door Problems and How to Fix Them
Garage doors are built to be durable, but over time, they can develop issues. Here are some common garage door problems and tips on how to fix them:
- Garage Door Won’t Open or Close – Check if the opener is plugged in, the remote batteries are working, and the sensors are aligned.
- Noisy Operation – Lubricate moving parts like springs, hinges, and rollers to reduce noise.
- Door Off Track – If the door has come off its track, stop using it immediately and call a professional to realign it.
- Broken Springs – If you notice a loud bang or the door struggles to open, a broken spring could be the issue. This requires professional repair.
- Slow Response Time – If your garage door responds slowly, check the opener settings or inspect for obstructions in the tracks.
Regular maintenance can help prevent these issues, but if the problem persists, contacting a professional is the best solution.
