Your garage door is easily forgotten as soon as you leave your driveway or walk into your home.
And at Accelerated Garage Door Services, we think that’s the way it should be. You shouldn’t have to worry about the function of your garage door or wonder if it will open or close properly. It should always remain as easy as the click of a button.
But what happens when it doesn’t operate smoothly? When squeaking noises disrupt the peaceful start to your commute? Or a slow-moving door prevents you from officially finishing your day?
These problems are more likely to happen in the winter, when the cold, frigid temperatures cause metals and wood to shrink and contract. We provide garage door refurbishment in Shawnee to prevent the following common incidents from happening to you.
Your Springs Snapped
Your garage door relies on torsion or extension springs to provide support and balance to the door. These components are made of metal, so not only do they shrink, but the cold air also causes them to become brittle. Eventually, the springs can snap under the pressure of the door if not replaced.
During your garage door maintenance appointment, we can check the springs and make sure they are able to withstand the freezing temperatures that infiltrate the Kansas City area. We will let you know if these parts need to be replaced and may be able to provide that service on the same day.
Your Weather Seals Froze to the Ground
Weather seals insulate your garage door, helping to prevent cold air, dust, and moisture from entering your garage and your home. Usually, on the first cold, wet day in Kansas City, members of our community may find that these seals have frozen to the ground, preventing the garage door from opening.
During our garage door maintenance services, we inspect your weather seals, making sure they are pliable and strong enough to withstand the oncoming harsh weather conditions.
The Rollers and Bearings Run Poorly
While time takes its toll on all parts of your garage door, winter accelerates this wear and tear, causing them to warp and eventually leading to misalignment.
We inspect these parts to make sure they will function properly and are well-lubricated throughout winter. This prevents friction and reduces wear-and-tear.
