Garage Door Maintenance & Safety Tune-Ups | 505.858.1017

Having a properly working garage door isn’t just a matter of convenience – it’s also an issue of safety and security.

The garage is a point-of-entry for many homes, and a good garage door serves to keep invaders at bay. If the garage opener stops working correctly, your home’s security can be at risk. Similarly, a broken or malfunctioning garage door can pose a safety risk to your family, especially children and pets who could be injured by a falling door.

That’s why BDC Door recommends routine garage door maintenance and tune-ups to keep the garage door in proper working order.

Garage Safety Home Checklist

For the safety and security of your home, there are a few factors you should always pay attention to:

  • Your garage door should open without squealing or screeching.
  • The chain, springs, and hinges should all be rust-free and in good shape.
  • The cable wires should be firmly within their track, not hanging loose from the pulley.
  • The sensor on your automatic garage door opener should be in working order to prevent the door from closing on something in its path.
  • When manually pulled down partway, the door should remain partially open rather than falling closed.
