There are a few different types of garage doors, with roll-up garage doors being one of the most common types. Like any other type of door, roll-up garage doors may encounter issues as they age. Knowing what these issues are can help you recognize signs that you need help from a professional garage door technician.
Here are three of the most common problems you may find with roll-up garage doors:
- Misalignment. Roll-up garage doors can get misaligned, which results in them moving unevenly. This can damage the door, its components, and potentially even part of your garage. There are a few different factors that can cause misalignment, but your local garage technician will let you know what’s causing the issue and how to fix it.
- Motor issues. Motors can break down over time, and when there’s an issue with the garage door’s motor, you may find yourself unable to open or close the door. If you suspect there’s something wrong with your garage door motor, leave the problem to a garage door technician, as motors are highly complex and require specialized training to fix.
- Squeaky or stuck rollers. The rollers for your roll-up garage door need to be lubricated periodically to make sure your door can open and close. They don’t last forever, and while lubricating them extends their lifespan, they will still need to be replaced to ensure your garage door opens and closes smoothly.
