Before you embark on any Parker CO garage door repair service, it is important ensuring that you know what needs to be done so as to avoid losing the customer’s trust. The most popular door garages are the overhead doors with some rolling up in sections while others swing up in one piece. These garage doors operate on strong spring tension which provides the power for the doors to move on metal tracks on the garage walls. In most cases when the door does not operate as it should, repairs are fairly simple and getting it fixed should not be a daunting task.
If a garage door cannot roll up smoothly and tends to jam, you need to check the metal tracks inside the garage. Look at the mounting brackets that hold the tracks to the walls and if they are loose, tighten the bolts or screws at the brackets. This is the simplest task that any Parker CO garage door repair specialist can take up. Examine the tracks for dents, crimps, or flat spots and if there are any damaged spots pound them out with a rubber mallet, or with a hammer and a block of scrap wood. However, if the tracks are badly damaged, they should be replaced and it is at this point that you need to up your game and get all your skills into use.
Another cause of jamming overhead garage doors could be poor alignment of the tracks. The vertical sections of track should be exactly plumb while horizontal tracks should slant slightly downwards. If the tracks are not properly aligned, loosen but do not remove the screws or bolts that hold the mounting brackets, and tap the tracks carefully into position.
