Be sure to read these tips before having your garage door fixed. Learn the basics of doing it right.

Test the garage door’s reverse mechanism

This procedure, according our experts, may be done by putting a 2x4 wooden board or a roll of towel paper in the path of the door. If you notice that the door is not reversing after contact with the object, check the manufacturer’s manual, or allow a professional door system expert to look at the situation. It might require repair or replacement.

Rolling code technology is the better option

When purchasing a garage door opener, our experts suggests choosing one which uses the rolling code technology. With this feature, you are given the capability to change the access codes from time to time easily in order to avoid code grabbing. This will make sure that the security of your home is maintained. At the same time, the process is easy.

Keep your manual accessible

Garage door systems can be extremely complex with a variety of specific features. Our company suggests that homeowners keep the manual for their opener accessible, as you will never know when you will need it. Common issues which may require you to check your manual include replacing certain components, checking technical details, making minor repairs or resetting the system.  Your manual should be readily available in case it is needed for an urgent issue.

Choose rolling code remotes

Modern remote controls work with the rolling code technology. This system is useful for many applications and in this case it will change the code of your remotes or wireless garage door keypad every time you press the button or enter your personal password. There're billions of different code combinations and a different code is chosen by the system at random. So it cannot be traceable.

Garage door maintenance

If there is a part of your home that is considered as the largest moving and hardest working facility, it is your garage door. It is being raised and lowered on an average of six times per day. Thus, like any other area of your home, it needs regular inspections and maintenance.

Garage door sections

A garage door is divided into different sections and many times, the handle, sidebars and hinges are broken or start to malfunction. You can replace these parts immediately. If the problem escalates and spreads to the whole door, you can replace it completely. Contact our experts to replace each section or the whole door for you.

Alert systems and keyless entry systems

There are a lot of ways to secure your garage doors. An open door alert system is mostly for monitoring in case you left your garage open. A keyless entry system, meanwhile, is for easy opening your garage from the outside with the use of a code or even just your fingerprint.

Tighten screws and bolts on your garage door

You should consider tightening all the nuts on bolts and screws on your garage door every six months. If ever you are not familiar with how this is done, our experts in Boston suggest that you seek help from our professionals to make sure that this is done correctly.
