Here you can find fresh tips about methods to repair garage doors and you can learn how to maintain different systems.

Do not attempt to open a frozen garage door automatically

When the door is frozen, ice keeps it stuck to the floor. If you attempt automatic opening, this can cause cable snap or motor damage. Our experts in Seffner recommend that you remove the ice blocking the door first. For this, you need a tool which produces hot air like a heat gun or a hair dryer.

Clean the garage door remote regularly

You need to clean the panel and the buttons with a soft cloth. Use cotton swab dipped in alcohol for removing any stubborn dirt. Use the soft cloth for cleaning the plastic cover of the infrared unit too. Remove the battery and clean the metal contact with a bit of white vinegar, if there is any rust.

Pay attention to the state of the pulleys

Our garage door service crew can attest to how common pulley problems are. The defects in pulleys usually emerge as the difficulty of the door to stably open or close. For regular garage door maintenance, the pulleys’ condition can be checked by disengaging the electric door opener and releasing the tension to observe how they behave.
