⚙️ What Does the Garage Door Motor Do?

Your garage door motor powers the opener system — it’s the “heart” of your garage door. When it starts to fail, you might notice:

• Unusual grinding or humming noises

• A burning smell or overheating motor

• Inconsistent remote or keypad response

If you’re seeing any of these signs, your garage door motor may need repair or replacement. Don’t wait until it quits completely — we’ll get it back in shape before it causes a bigger issue.

🏠 Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome, neighbor! We’re here to keep your garage door running smoothly and safely. Below are answers to some of the most common questions homeowners have about garage door maintenance, repair, and safety.

How often should I have my garage door inspected?

We recommend a professional garage door inspection at least once a year. Routine inspections help catch worn parts early and keep your door working safely and efficiently all year long.

How can I tell if my garage door is balanced properly?

Pull the red emergency release cord to disconnect your opener, then lift the door halfway by hand. If it stays in place, it’s balanced. If it falls or rises on its own, it’s time for a garage door balance adjustment.

What’s the best way to maintain my garage door?

Keep tracks clean, tighten any loose bolts, and lubricate all moving parts with a silicone-based spray every few months. Regular garage door maintenance helps prevent costly repairs.

How do I know if my rollers need to be replaced?

If your garage door squeaks, shakes, or doesn’t roll smoothly, your rollers may be worn. Cracked or wobbly rollers are a sure sign it’s time for roller replacement.

My garage door is really noisy—should I be worried?

A noisy garage door is often caused by loose hardware, dry rollers, or worn springs. While it might not be urgent, it’s smart to have it checked before the problem worsens.

How long do garage door springs usually last?

Most springs last 7–10 years depending on daily use. If your spring breaks, don’t try to replace it yourself—it’s under high tension and can be dangerous. Always call a professional for garage door spring replacement.

Why won’t my garage door open or close all the way?

It could be a blocked track, misaligned sensors, or worn parts. Every case is different, so a quick inspection will pinpoint the cause.

How can I make my garage door last longer?

Yearly tune-ups, regular lubrication, and tightening bolts can extend your door’s lifespan by years. Think of it like a check-up for your garage!

What should I do if my garage door won’t open manually?

That usually means your spring is broken or the door is out of balance. Don’t force it—it can make things worse.

Is it normal for my garage door to shake or jerk when opening?

Nope! Shaking or jerking often means your rollers or tracks need cleaning or adjustment. A simple tune-up usually fixes it.

How do I clean my garage door?

Use mild soap and water on the panels and wipe away dirt from the tracks. Avoid harsh cleaners that can damage the finish.

Why is my garage door moving slower than usual?

Cold weather, old lubricant, or worn parts can slow your door. It’s usually a minor fix, but a quick tune-up keeps it performing like new.

What kind of lubricant should I use on my garage door?

Always use silicone-based garage door lubricant—not WD-40. It reduces friction and protects moving parts longer.

How do I test the safety sensors on my garage door?

Close the door and wave a broomstick in front of the sensors. If the door reverses, they’re working. If not, they may need cleaning or realignment.

My garage door remote isn’t working—what should I check first?

Try replacing the batteries, ensuring you’re within range, and checking the opener light. If that doesn’t work, your remote may need to be reprogrammed.

What should I do if my garage door gets stuck halfway?

Stop using it immediately. Forcing it could cause more damage. The issue might be a broken spring, cable, or track obstruction.

How do I know if my garage door cables are bad?

Fraying, rust, or loose cables are danger signs. Avoid touching them—garage door cables are under high tension.

Can I replace just one garage door spring instead of both?

It’s possible, but we usually recommend replacing both springs at once. This helps your door stay balanced and prevents uneven wear.
