Maintenance & Safety

Garage Door Tips & How-To Videos

These videos cover basic garage door maintenance, safety checks, and when to call a professional. Remember — high-tension springs and cables should always be serviced by a trained technician.

Monthly Safety Checks

Test your door's auto-reverse feature monthly. Place a 2x4 flat on the ground under the door — the door should reverse when it contacts the wood.

Lubrication

Lubricate rollers, hinges, and tracks with a garage door lubricant (not WD-40) twice a year for smooth, quiet operation.

Spring Warning

Never attempt to adjust or replace torsion springs yourself. These are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury. Always call a professional.
