Why Garage Door Maintenance is Crucial in Colorado

Colorado’s weather is tough on everything, including your garage door. From freezing winters to hot, dry summers, your garage door faces extreme temperature fluctuations and environmental challenges that can wear down components faster than you’d expect.

The snow, ice, and rain in the winter can freeze parts, while the dry air and UV rays in summer dry out lubricants and fade finishes. Regular maintenance can help avoid unnecessary repairs, extend the life of your door, and ensure smooth operation no matter the season.

Maintaining your garage door also means preventing potential accidents and protecting your property. A properly maintained garage door is not only safer, but it’s more efficient, keeping things running smoothly and avoiding the headache of breakdowns.

We offer a comprehensive garage door maintenance program designed to prevent unexpected issues and keep your door running smoothly year-round!

What’s Included in Our Maintenance Service

When you book a maintenance appointment with Select Garage Doors, you can expect a thorough inspection and tune-up that covers everything your door needs to continue working like new. Our maintenance services include:

Full system inspection: We check all parts—springs, cables, rollers, and the opener so we can spot problems before they escalate.
Lubrication of moving parts: Proper lubrication is critical, especially in Colorado’s changing climate. We apply the right amount of lubricant to the springs, rollers, hinges, and tracks to keep things moving smoothly.
Track and alignment check: We clean the tracks and inspect for any misalignments that could cause problems with door operation.
Balance test: We test the door’s balance to make sure it’s operating at peak efficiency.
Safety test: We check the door’s safety mechanisms, including the photo eyes and auto-reverse system, to make sure they meet safety standards.
Hardware inspection and tightening: We’ll make sure bolts, screws, and brackets are tight to prevent any loose parts from affecting performance.

Colorado-Specific Maintenance Tips

In addition to our standard service, we keep in mind the unique challenges of Colorado’s climate. Here’s what to look out for:

Freezing conditions in winter: Snow and ice can create problems with tracks and sensors. It’s important to clear any ice or snow from the door’s path and inspect the weatherstripping for drafts.
Dry air and UV damage in summer: The dry air can cause lubricants to dry out quicker, and UV rays can damage the door’s finish. We use high-quality finishes and lubricants designed to withstand Colorado’s temperature extremes and sun exposure.
High altitude: The thinner air at higher altitudes can make parts wear down more quickly. We check spring tension regularly to ensure your door stays properly balanced.

Your Essential Garage Door Maintenance Checklist

Taking care of your garage door doesn’t have to be complicated, but it’s important to stay on top of key maintenance tasks. Here’s what you can do to keep your garage door in great shape year-round:

Visual inspection: Look for rust, worn cables, or cracked panels. Check the tracks, rollers, and springs for wear or misalignment. Don’t wait until it’s too late—small issues now can become big problems later.
Balance test: With the opener disconnected, carefully lift the door manually (use caution as springs are under tension). A balanced door should stay open halfway. If you’re uncomfortable performing this test, contact a professional. If it doesn’t, it could be a sign that the springs need adjusting.
Safety test: Place an object, like a 2×4, under the door and see if it reverses when it hits it. If it doesn’t, there may be an issue with the sensors or safety reverse system.
Lubrication: Use a silicone lubricant for the rollers, hinges, and springs. Most manufacturers recommend lubricating 2-4 times per year.
Tighten hardware: Check for loose bolts, screws, or brackets. Tighten them up to avoid unnecessary strain on your opener.

Common Garage Door Problems for Homeowners in Colorado

Even with regular maintenance, problems can still occur. Here are a few issues to keep an eye on:

Loud noises: If you hear grinding, squeaking, or rattling sounds, it’s a sign that something’s loose or lacking lubrication. Get it checked out before it leads to bigger issues.
Slow operation: If your door is moving slowly or jerking, dirt in the tracks or worn rollers could be the culprit. It’s worth a quick check before the motor gets damaged.
Uneven gaps: If the gap between the door and the floor is uneven, you might have misaligned tracks or warped panels. This can lead to security and insulation issues, so get it fixed promptly.
Malfunctioning sensors: Dirty or misaligned sensors can be a safety hazard. Regular cleaning and alignment will keep your door working safely.

When Should You Call Select Garage Doors?

Some garage door issues can be handled with a little DIY maintenance, but there are situations where professional help is a must. If you notice any of the following, it’s best to call in the experts:

Strange sounds: Grinding or squeaking that won’t go away could indicate a serious issue.
Slow or jerky movement: If the door isn’t moving smoothly, it might need more than just a quick tune-up.
Broken springs or cables: These parts are under high tension and can be dangerous to fix yourself.
Alignment issues: Misaligned tracks require professional adjustment to avoid further damage.
