In today’s world, most things are sadly discarded when they become damaged or faulty. Toasters, TVs, T-shirts… it’s become more expensive to repair common household items than to replace them.
But the art of mending hasn’t been lost on all items. For garage doors, repairs and maintenance are crucial to their longevity.
If you’ve got a damaged garage door, there’s good news for you: it’s likely that it can be repaired, sparing you from going out and buying a whole new one.
Let’s discuss what you need to know about garage door repairs, brought to you by Geelong’s expert team at Tee’s Garage Doors:
Mechanical garage door damage
The simplest and most straightforward type of garage door repair is mechanical damage. Your garage door is made up of several moving components, like springs, cables and rollers. When one of these components fail, most of the time, they can simply be replaced with new, high-quality parts.
Some of the most common mechanical repairs for garage doors include:
Broken springs – if you heard a loud bang followed by your door be unable to move, it’s likely that your torsion spring has snapped. This repair involves replacing the broken spring with a new one.
Jammed rollers – grinding noises may indicating several problems with your door, including jammed or broken rollers. We replace these old rollers with high quality new ones.
Misaligned tracks – if your door is looking wonky or producing strange sounds, your tracks could be misaligned. We solve this with a door realignment, making it function good as new.
Opener damage
If your garage door refuses to open or close, but seems fine mechanically and cosmetically, this could be due to a problem with your opener. Thankfully, opener issues can also be diagnosed and repaired.
At Tee’s Garage Doors, we diagnose and fix opener problems such as wiring or sensor issues to get your door back in action. If the opener isn’t able to be repaired, we can suggest a quality replacement. Get in touch today to find out more.
Cosmetic damage
Finally, we have cosmetic garage door damage. Given that this could be interpreted as anything from a minor scratch to major damage resulting from car impact, it’s best to call up Tee’s Garage Doors to assess whether or not your cosmetic damage can be addressed. However, if you have a sectional door with one or two damaged panels, we can usually replace these panels to restore your door’s appearance back to brand new.
