HOUSTON – Your garage door. If you think about it, you don’t really think about. It is one of those things that just keeps doing its job until, it doesn’t and that is usually at the most inconvenient time.
Well, there are some things you can do to give your garage door a little TLC and may be even an upgrade.
The owner of Garage Door Doctors, Tommy Mello, swung by the Houston Life studio to share some expert advice.
Some common things people neglect that are easy to repair or replace to keep your garage door operating smoothly and for years to come are these:
• Lubrication: Regularly lubricate moving parts to prevent wear and ensure smooth operation.
• Weather Stripping: Replace worn-out weather stripping to maintain insulation and protect against elements.
• Tightening Hardware: Periodically tighten nuts, bolts, and hardware to prevent loosening and potential issues.
• Sensor Alignment: Check and realign sensors to ensure accurate door movement and safety measures.
• Routine Inspections: Regularly inspect cables, springs, and rollers for wear and tear, addressing issues promptly.
