Garage Door Tune-up

With the door closing, wave an object in front of the sensors — the door should reverse. If it doesn’t, clean the sensors and align them until the lights stay solid Try stopping the door mid-close — it should reverse easily with resistance. Adjust opener force/sensitivity if needed (consult your opener manual).

Just like your car and home require regular maintenance, so does your garage door. Unfortunately, most people neglect just how important this feature is.

Check Auto-Reverse Feature

Place a piece of wood or object in the door’s path and close the door. Door should automatically reverse when it hits the object.

Clean Tracks

Wipe down inside of tracks with a damp cloth. Remove debris, spiderwebs, or buildup that may cause jams.

Inspect Weatherstripping

Check bottom rubber seal and side seals. Replace if cracked, brittle, or missing to keep out water and pests.

Check Rollers

Worn, cracked, or wobbly rollers should be replaced. Nylon rollers are quieter; steel ones last longer.

Examine Cables

Look for fraying or rust near the bottom brackets. Don’t touch cables — under high tension. Call a pro if damaged.

If it doesn’t, clean the sensors and align them until the lights stay solid. Pull the emergency release cord and test door movement by hand — it should glide smoothly.
