Garage Door Tune-Up in Kansas City

What a Tune-Up Covers

• Lubricating the hinges, roller bearings and springs.
• A balance test, and checking the spring tension.
• Checking the cables for fraying and the drums and bottom brackets for wear.
• Checking the rollers, hinges and track, and tightening hardware that has worked loose.
• Testing the auto-reverse and the safety sensors on the opener.
• A rundown of anything that's wearing out, so you know what's coming.

Why It's Worth Doing

A door that runs a few times a day opens and closes well over a thousand times a year, and in a lot of Kansas City homes it's the main way in and out. Bolts shake loose, rollers wear and springs lose tension a little at a time. Catching that early is cheaper than a broken spring on a cold morning or a door that comes off its track.

How Often

Once a year is enough for most homes, and fall is a good time for it. If you'd like to check a few things yourself in between, the winter prep post walks through three 10-minute checks.
