There are several issues that can occur that will reduce the ability for a garage door to open or close properly. Knowing how to prevent, fix or call a repairman to help with these problems is important for every homeowner to understand,
One of the main problems that occur with Utah garage doors is when the bottom of the door is lifting up slightly on one side. This happens most often when a cable becomes worn and frayed. It can also be due to a worn cable pulley. Both of these issues will require the help of a professional that uses high quality hardware.
The second most common issue is when the garage door controllers will open, but will fail to close the garage door. This is due to a dirty motor area. The lens can become dusty and not work properly. Before calling a repairman, clean the area well to see if this will solve the problem.
The third most common problem is when the door makes a loud pop sound every time it is opened. This is due to rollers that have been worn. The rollers must be replaced immediately before further damage occurs to the garage door itself. Contact a professional for this task.
If you are unsure of the severity of an issue, many garage door service companies will be happy to discuss the issues with you over the phone. There are a few things that you can try to fix yourself before calling an expert. But, if you are unsure about what you are doing it is always best to call a pro and avoid causing any further damage.
