Your garage door is an important part of your home's exterior. Not only does it affect the appearance of your home, but it also impacts your home's functionality and safety. Keeping the garage door in proper working order is crucial. According to Review Journal, most garage doors will open and close three to five times a day. Because you use it so often, it's only a matter of time before your garage door will require services. Here are a few scenarios where our garage door pros can assist you.

Your Garage Door Is Stuck

If you can't get the door to open or close, you will need our professional assistance. It could be something as simple as dead batteries, but it could also be something more serious. You should check smaller issues first, such as batteries and whether the door is properly connected to the opener. If these aren't the problem, you need to schedule to have our garage door experts come out to your home and inspect the door. A stuck garage door can be a safety issue for your home. If the door is stuck open, you'll lose a layer of protection for your home. If the door is stuck closed, it could create a safety issue in the event of a fire or an emergency. We take great pride in discovering the cause of your garage problems.

Your Garage Door Only Works Occasionally

This can be a bigger issue than a stuck door because you never really know if you'll be able to use the door or not. In our experience, if the garage door seems to have a mind of its own, it could be because the electrical features of the system have malfunctioned. Not only is this inconvenient, but it could also be dangerous, as any electrical malfunction can cause a fire hazard.

Your Garage Door Opens and Then Reverses

In our experience, this is often an indication that the photo safety eyes are blocked. If there happens to be something in the path of the door, this is a feature that keeps the door from shutting all the way. Check the garage to see if anything is in front of these sensors. If nothing is blocking it and the problems persist, you'll need our garage door service to come out and help diagnose the problem.

These are just a few examples of scenarios when our garage door service experts are here to help. If you're looking for a garage door service in your area, please contact Elite Garage Doors & Services today. We look forward to hearing from you.
