When the colder weather rolls in, offering us Kansas City residents some relief from the heat, most of us start to prepare for a season of maintenance.
Protecting your home from cold weather is no easy feat. It can seep in the cracks and give certain systems maintenance issues, and you often have to be outside to fix these problems. And no one enjoys a harsh Midwest winter.
To keep warm this winter, get your garage door checked out before something stops working or breaks.
But not your garage door. At least not when you trust Accelerated Garage Door Services, our Kansas City-based, family-owned business.
But before you call on our team for your garage door maintenance in Olathe, we are giving you some DIY tips you can do yourself.
Check for Fraying Lift Cables
Garage door cables are found on both sides of your garage door and evenly distribute and guide the weight as your door opens and closes. If these cables look like they are starting to unravel which leads to slower garage door movement, uneven alignment, and eventually a safety hazard if they snap.
If you notice fraying lifts, call our team for garage door maintenance, we can replace these cables for you safely and efficiently
Check for Bent Rollers
Garage door rollers are the wheels that guide your garage door as it moves up and down. When your garage door is open, you can inspect the rollers to check if they are bent or cracked. If you notice any signs of wear or tear, it’s an indication that you need to call us for replacement parts.
Open the Door Manually
Instead of using your remote control, carefully lift your garage door with both hands. If it doesn’t open smoothly, it could probably use a tune up or garage door refurbishment.
Garage Door Maintenance Services
Even if everything looks and feels fine, we still recommend preventative maintenance twice a year. Your garage door is made of metal pieces that can contract and shrink when exposed to frigid, cold temperatures. While everything appears normal and smooth now, that can change in a matter of months. For peace of mind, it’s best to trust our team with your garage door and save yourself the headache later.
