Fast and Reliable Service!
To extend the life of your Houston, TX garage door system, you must perform regular maintenance. This includes cleaning the roller tracks and working with a garage door company to properly check the safety of your garage door system.
A good garage door is a safe garage door. To keep your garage door safe for you and your family, you should regularly have a technician perform a safety check. This includes checking that rollers are in good shape and cables haven’t been worn down over time.
Has your once quiet garage door suddenly become extremely loud every time you open it? If so, it’s most likely time to lubricate your garage door.
Performing a safety check and lubricating your garage door go hand in hand. Our technicians will complete a lube and safety check that includes the following steps:
Your photo eye sensors prevent obstructions and damage to your garage door. During the safety check, one of our technicians will ensure that your photo-eye sensors are securely fastened to your wall and properly functioning.
They will test your photo eye sensors by placing an object in front of them. If your photo eye sensors work correctly, they should not allow your garage door to shut if the signal is blocked.
Springs, pulleys, and lifting cables are responsible for raising your heavy garage door every day. Our experienced team members will visually assess each component to make sure that it is not worn, broken, or fraying. A damaged spring, pulley, or lifting cable could lead to an off-track garage door.
Rollers and hinges are also vital pieces of your garage door system. An expert from Hero Garage Doors will check them for signs of wear or damage.
To prevent damage and the sound of grinding metal, our technicians will also lubricate your garage door system. They will lubricate springs, hinges, bearing plates, and any other components that require lubrication. After lubricating your garage door, they will also be sure to clean the tracks to ensure that they do not have any debris in them. This prevents debris build-up that could force your garage door to get off track.
If we ever find that your garage door system doesn’t pass the safety check, our Hero Garage Doors team will work to provide you with one of our professional solutions.
