Why you need to have your garage door
serviced regularly

Is your garage door due for
a service?

Did you know that your garage door is generally the largest and heaviest moving object within the home?

Garage doors, and their automatic openers, contain moving parts that require maintenance by a qualified service technician every 12-18 months (or 2000 cycles). This not only prevents sudden failures, it ensures continued smooth operation and is often required in order to keep any warranty valid.

Regular servicing will ensure a safe, smooth and quiet operation time and time again.

Prevent dangerous, sudden failure

A faulty garage door can fail without notice, causing costly damage to the door, vehicles or belongings — and weighing around 60kg, has the potential to be very dangerous

Reduce the risk of break-ins and theft

A garage door in good working order is much more difficult for an intruder to manipulate or pry open — reducing the risk of access to your belongings, and importantly, your home and family

Required to keep your warranty valid

When you purchased your garage door, it most likely came with a warranty. However, if it is not serviced regularly in accordance with the manufacturers T&C’s, your warranty may no longer be valid

Ensure continuous smooth operation

There's nothing more frustrating than a noisy, slow or clunky garage door opening and closing. Proper lubrication and maintenance of the moving parts ensures the smooth and speedy operation

Prevents parts from wearing out prematurely

Servicing is an important preventative measure to stay on top of the small problems before they escalate into costly, bigger problems. A professional will be able to catch warnings before they become issues

Extend the lifespan of your garage door

Regular servicing of the door and motor helps your garage door to live up to its expected lifespan. It's that simple — you'll get a long life from your door if you take care of it
