Garage Door Repair in Grand Rapids, MI
A garage door is the biggest moving thing in most houses, and in a West Michigan winter it gets used hard. When it sticks, bangs or refuses to move, the cause is usually one of a handful of parts.
Request a technicianDoor won't open
A broken spring, a disconnected opener, a frozen bottom seal or a tripped safety sensor are the usual suspects. Check that the opener has power and the sensors' lights are on before calling.
Door won't close
If the door starts down and reverses, the safety sensors are often blocked or out of line. Snow, a broom or a bumped bracket is enough to do it; see safety sensors.
Noisy doors
Squealing rollers, banging tracks and grinding openers mean worn parts. Nylon rollers and a tune-up quiet most doors.
Damaged panels
Dented or cracked panels can sometimes be replaced individually if the model is still available.
Hardware
Loose hinges, bent brackets and worn rollers wear the door out faster.
Cold-weather stiffness
Old grease thickens in the cold and makes doors sluggish. A technician can clean and lubricate the moving parts.
Safety first
Springs, cables and bottom brackets hold dangerous tension. Leave them to a technician.
Repair or replace
Older, heavily damaged or uninsulated doors may be worth replacing; see new garage doors.
