Garage doors can break down therefore it’s crucial to check them on a regular basis. For keeping your garage door from breaking down, here are some excellent ways to keep your garage door top shape.

If you are able, perform a monthly maintenance inspection. You should consult your owner’s manual so you’re not putting yourself in dangerous situations.

Check the balance of your door easily. Close the door and remove it from the chain or belt by pulling the red cord that hangs from the top of the installation. When you are done, raise the door half way and let it fall. It is considered to be balanced when the door stays open for a half. If the door shuts or is opened to the fullest, balance is off.

After that, get a pair of two-by-four and set it up where the garage door is closed. Examine if the garage door is open when it is in contact with the two-by-four. If it doesn’t then the force of down needs to be adjusted by the opener.
