Automatic garage doors are usually built to last and offer several functions from protecting your vehicle and keeping your possessions secure to improving the look of your property, but occasionally continued use can make them wear out quicker than they should.
If you are wondering whether you need a new garage door, there are several signs to look out for:
Strange noises – if your garage door makes unusual noises e.g. squeaking, grating, crunching etc when opening and closing, this is a sign that something is not right and you may need to get someone out to look repairing it or consider a replacement.
Reduced speed – the beauty of an automatic garage door is how quick they open and shut. If your garage door is taking longer to open and close or it is getting stuck halfway, this is an indication that it may be time for a new one.
Rotting wood – if you have a wooden garage door, it may start to rot if it hasn’t been properly treated. It is important that you get a rotting door looked at as it could become a safety issue.
Opening issues – if your garage door is always failing to open and you’re tired of the constant repair bills, its time to find a replacement!
Appearance – whilst this is not a safety issue, the look of your current garage door may no longer match the exterior of your home which may affect the value and curb appeal of your property.
Garage doors can be dangerous when they are not working properly. If you can relate to any one of the above signs, you may need to replace yours.
