How to Maintain your Garage Door Opener

Being the main source of power for your automatic door, it only makes sense to keep your door opener in its best condition. For this purpose, it is highly important to properly maintain your garage door opener. First, it’s important for the one maintaining the unit to know what kind of system they have: Chain drive opener, belt drive opener, or screw drive opener. From there, lubrication, bolt and screw tightening, and an overall part check are all simple yet important ways to keep your opener in a stronger condition and to ensure the system will last longer. You should consult with the user's manual to find out what is the best way to maintain your specific model and type. Do note that there are some types of lubrication that can do more damage than good, so if you are not sure, consult a professional.

Professional Maintenance

Proper lubrication is vital due to the fact that it keeps the device running smoothly and free of any rust. Most openers have a 10-year life span, but with a few inspections on a yearly basis, your opener will last even longer. For those with decent technical knowledge and skills  this form of maintenance will be fairly easy and pain-free, typically consisting of a visual inspection, a cord check, a possible battery replacement, lubrication as mentioned, a reverse mechanism test, and a manual release test. For those not interested in performing these tasks on their own, our professional technicians gladly provide this service all for a very affordable rate with exceptional service.
