Popular Garage Door Questions

No matter what brand of garage door or opener you own, they all seem to run into similar problems. Fortunately, our experts are have compiled a list of detailed answers to some of the most searched for FAQs. Check them out below.

How long should torsion springs last?

Torsion springs have a life expectancy of about 10,000 cycles. A cycle is regarded as one full opening and closing of the door. Over time, these components will fatigue and their condition will worsen, until they will eventually break and need to be replaced. Rust and lack of proper maintenance can also contribute to the degradation of a garage door torsion spring, so keep it well-lubricated to extend its life.

Can I paint my garage door?

Painting your garage door is a quick and easy way to change the look of your home and improve its curb appeal. Wood garage doors can be easily painted, but other materials may require more preparation to make sure that the paint sticks to them correctly. For instance, a steel door should be thoroughly cleaned and sanded before painting. Roughing up the surface with sandpaper will provide the paint with the perfect texture to ensure a long-lasting finish.

How often should my garage door be serviced?

Since your garage door is often quite frequently, you need to have it maintained at least once every year. Problems usually start once you hear strange noises while the door is in motion. These sounds serve as early warning signs that something is not quite right or is out of place. The more you delay and the longer you put off the maintenance service, the more costly the repairs will be later on.

Why does my garage door need to be maintained?

Your garage door is most likely the single largest moving part of your home, and it contains a lot of moving parts that need to be inspected and serviced. It's the nature of any complex mechanical system to suffer from gradual wear and tear, which is why garage door maintenance is so important. It's a great way to extend the life of your door, and avoid all sorts of problems.
