Garage doors are a great addition to any home, as long as they are working properly. Although most of us use our garage doors every day, we neglect to inspect their condition, so we often don’t realize we need garage door repair in Vancouver until it’s too late.
Slow-Moving Garage Door
There are several reasons as to why your garage door is moving slow. No matter the underlying reason, it’s a sign that you require garage door repair in Vancouver. Old age is one of the most common factors in a garage door slowing down and often indicates the torsion springs need replacing. Lack of lubrication on the tracks, hinges, and rollers is another problem. No matter how tempting it might be, never use WD-40 to lubricate your garage door. Instead, call in for service.
Unbalanced Garage Door
Never continue using an unbalanced garage door. Call in immediately to have it serviced as soon as possible. Continuing to use an unbalanced one increases the risks of wearing out a single spring. The faster it wears out, the more likely it will snap and cause further issues with the garage door. Signs of an unbalanced garage door are sagging or uneven doors upon opening or closing.
Jerking When Closing the Garage Door
Just because there is a little extra movement in your door doesn’t mean it requires repair. However, excessive movement when closing your garage door requires repair. Signs to look for that indicate excessive movement include any shuddering or shaking. This kind of excessive movement can indicate loose hinges or screws or a roller coming off the track.
