Garage Door Maintenance
A full tune-up: balance, tension, hardware, lubrication and safety tests.
About this service
Most garage door failures give notice long before they strand a car in the driveway. A door that has started to feel heavier, sound rougher or hesitate at the same spot is describing a problem that is still small.
A maintenance visit covers spring balance, cable condition, roller and hinge wear, track alignment, fastener torque, opener travel and force, photo-eye function and correct lubrication — with a clear report on anything that is beginning to wear.
Warning signs
- The door has never been serviced since installation
- Operation has become gradually louder or rougher
- The door feels heavy when lifted by hand
- Winter cold makes the door hesitate or stick

FAQ
Garage Door Maintenance questions
Still unsure? Call (647) 493-8072 or email info@suregaragerepair.ca.
An annual check suits most households, and more often for a busy door used as the main entrance several times a day.
Keep the photo eyes clean and aligned, listen for new noises, test the balance by lifting the door halfway by hand, and never store items leaning on the track.
No. It is a solvent, not a lubricant for this job. A proper garage door lubricant on hinges, rollers, bearings and springs is what you want, and never on the track itself.
