Routine safety inspections take a few minutes. They can be done periodically, around one a month, for your peace of mind and to keep your door functioning safely. If you find anything concerning, please do not attempt to repair or adjust yourself. Don’t loosen, adjust or remove any screws, especially those on the bottom brackets because the brackets connect to the spring system and the springs are always under extreme tension. Call us and we will assist.
When checking the garage door, check:
- The door balances
- The springs
- The rollers
- The cables
- The safety cables
- The drums
- The center bearings
- The end bearing plates
- The pulleys
- The forks
- The shaft
- The hinges
- The brackets
- The tracks
- The hinge arms
- The strut and truss rods

- The condition of the panel
Then check the door opener:
- The controls, keyless entries and remotes
