FAQ’s About Garage Door Services in Dunwoody

What are the signs that my garage door needs repair?

How can I tell if the springs are broken?

A clear sign of a broken spring is if your garage door fails to open or if it opens only a few inches before stopping. You may also hear a loud bang, which is the sound of the spring snapping. Visually, you can check if the springs are visibly stretched or show gaps, indicating a break.

What should I do if my garage door opener stops working?

First, check the power source and ensure that the opener is plugged in. If it still doesn’t work, inspect the remote batteries and reset the opener. If the problem persists, it may be due to a malfunctioning circuit board or worn-out gears, which requires professional repair.

How often should I schedule maintenance for my garage door?

Is preventive maintenance necessary for new garage doors?

Even if your garage door is new, regular maintenance is crucial to ensure its longevity and reliability. We recommend scheduling a preventive maintenance check at least once a year. This service includes lubricating moving parts, adjusting spring tension, and inspecting the overall condition of the door to catch potential issues early.

What are the best materials for a durable and stylish garage door?

Which materials offer the best insulation?

For durability and insulation, steel and composite wood are excellent choices. Steel doors are strong and can withstand harsh weather, while composite wood offers the appearance of real wood with the benefits of moisture and insect resistance. Insulated steel doors with polyurethane or polystyrene cores provide superior energy efficiency.

How can I improve the safety features of my garage door?

What are the latest safety enhancements available?

Modern garage doors come with various safety features, such as photo-eye sensors, which prevent the door from closing if an object is detected in its path. Another important feature is the automatic reverse function, which causes the door to reverse if it encounters resistance. We can also install additional safety accessories like rolling code technology for openers, which changes the access code after every use, enhancing security.
