Anytime Garage Doors FAQs

Garage door springs and rollers should be lubricated approximately every three months to minimize rust and wear. Doing so lengthens the time you can go without garage door repair. We recommend lithium grease, which is available at most local hardware stores. According to Popular Mechanics, the average garage door opens and closes approximately 1,500 times per year. With so much reliance on them, you don't want to skimp out on their maintenance.

A heavy garage door may be caused by worn-out parts. Either the parts need to be replaced, or your garage door needs a tune-up. Call our garage door experts to schedule garage door repair or maintenance and avoid further damage caused to internal parts.

Garage doors may be similar in design but not always in quality. Lower-priced doors have plastic wheels, while more expensive models have nylon-coated steel wheels and smooth ball bearings. Some doors have a spring life of 2,000 uses, while others have a spring cycle lifespan of 18,000 uses, meaning you won't have to replace or fix garage door parts as often. Choose quality when it comes to your garage door.

Most of the time, garage doors refuse to shut because of the safety eyes. These prevent your garage door from closing if something or someone is in its way. If these eyes get bumped or vibrate loose, the safety beams will be out of alignment and keep the door from closing. You can tighten the bolt on the safety eye and tilt it back on the track. Call us for our expert garage door repair services if this doesn't work.

No, they do not. Garage door openers only guide your door up and down on a motor and rail system. Garage doors are lifted and lowered by their spring system. If your spring systems wear down, call us for help. We can fix garage door systems with expert ease. Otherwise, it will be hard to open.
