Garage Door Not Working Properly? It's Time To Check Some Essential Points

Want to know the key reasons behind why your door is not working properly? Have a look at some of the essential reasons behind a malfunctioning door.

If your garage door has refused to work and you hear some weird noises, it may be time for you to check the hardware system to identify the problem. Avoiding these things could have negative consequences. You may wake up one day to find a blocked garage door, with your vehicle stuck inside.

Most importantly, don’t try to convince yourself by saying that electric garage door opener will handle the door. Remember, a garage door opener alone cannot do all the work. According to Vancouver garage door repair services, a garage door needs to be well-maintained in order to have an easy and quick access to your home and vehicles.

Here are a few things that will help you determine what is wrong.

The bottom of the door is not close tightly

There are chances that any one of the two lifting cables is not adjusted properly in the drum mounted at the top. Or, any of the screws of the drum is loose. Make sure you don't try to undertake such situation in your hands and call in a professional for immediate help. Remember that the spring, tube, drum and cable, all the things are interconnected and bear a lot of tension.

The rollers aren’t doing their job

Carefully check the condition of rollers and make sure they aren't worn out or ready to come out of the rail. Also, check whether or not they slide on the rail. Make sure the rollers roll on the slide instead of sliding. The hinges supporting the rollers must be secured to the door properly. Remember, it is strongly recommended to call a professional to fix the rollers or the bracket.

One horizontal rail moves way too much than the other

The bolts on the metal fastener where the  horizontal track is firmly fixed, are loosened. You can tight it with the help of stepladder. Also, make sure to check the second rail at that time.

The garage door opener doesn't close the door properly

Depending on the model of your garage door opener, the majority of door openers have closing and opening adjustment features on the side of monitor box. You can find up and down arrows there. With the help of a flathead screwdriver, you can make the necessary adjustments. Turn on the opener and check the settings. Repeat if required.
