Let’s face it. Home repairs are inconvenient and can get very expensive, very quickly. Damage to your home or garage door is last on the list of things you want to deal with. Here are some of the major culprits behind garage door damage you should look out for.
This list isn’t exhaustive though, so it’s important to stay in contact with a professional garage door company like Affina Door Company — we can evaluate and repair any issues you may be facing at an affordable rate.
Aging equipment
Garage doors are machines made of different parts working together. Sometimes mechanical issues with lifting cables, rollers, or tension springs can cause problems when your garage door opens or closes.
Power source
If your garage door operates with an electric current, a blown fuse might cause the door to break down and stop working. Likewise, if your garage door operates with batteries, it’s good to keep an eye out for their shelf life.
Weather
Extreme weather conditions can also take its toll on your garage door. Even if the bottom of your door has been weatherized, it can still wear out over time. Rain, humidity, and the cold can also warp, bend, or crack your garage doors depending on the material.
Fixing garage door damage on your own runs the risk of making the damage even worse. It’s always a good idea to call in an expert to take care of any problems you may have. Our team at Affina Door Company is ready to help. Contact us today!
