Frequently Asked Questions

(650) 648-6533

Let's explore some of the inquiries our customers usually have about garage door services.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the lifespan of a typical garage door?

A standard garage door can last anywhere from 15 to 30 years, but this depends heavily on factors like its material, how well it’s maintained, and local climate conditions. Regular service checks help extend your garage door's life span.

Why isn't my remote working?

If your remote isn’t opening or closing your gate as expected, it could be due to several reasons. You might need new batteries or there may be an issue with the opener’s programming. In some cases, you might just be out of range.

I hear strange noises when operating my garage door. Is this normal?

Noises such as grinding or squeaking are not normal for a functioning system and should never be ignored because they signal potential problems ahead. This could mean anything from needing simple lubrication to more serious issues like worn-out components which would require professional attention right away.

The cables on my garage doors look frayed - what does this mean?

Frayed cables can pose serious risks since these carry all the weight while lifting and lowering doors; hence ensuring their good condition is crucial for safety purposes. A garage repair specialist will have all necessary tools needed to replace these safely without causing further damage.

My Garage Door seems unbalanced - what do I do now?

An unbalanced garage door might fail to open or close correctly, making it a security risk. It could be due to worn-out springs that need replacing. Make sure you get professional help immediately as dealing with garage door springs can be dangerous if not handled properly.

How often should I service my Garage Door?

Schedule an inspection as soon as possible if your system starts exhibiting signs of wear and tear before the annual maintenance period. Remember: Prevention is always better (and cheaper.) than cure.
