7 Signs your garage door needs service

1. The garage door won't open. Typically, it's a broken spring or a faulty garage door opener.

2. The cable is loose and hanging, it can be more problematic on a double wide garage door.

3. The garage door goes crooked when a cable breaks and the garage door comes off track. It's recommended to stop trying to move the garage door and contact a professional immediately.

4. Persistent squeaking and grinding is never good. Especially if you attempt to lubricate the garage door hardware, and the squeaking or grinding continues.

5. Rollers out of the track, a roller has failed or the track is bent. We see this a lot when the garage door gets run into by a vehicle. The bottom rollers come out almost every time.

6. The garage door won't close even after safety eye realignment. There may be a number of issues, typically related to the garage door opener.

7. The garage door has been used for years with little to no maintenance. A trained technician can spot problems before they happen. Educating the customer so they can make the best choice when it comes to their garage door.
