Sometimes it May Just Be Better to Replace the Garage Door Instead Of Repairing. Below Are Some Reasons To Replace Instead Of Repair A Garage Door Section:
FAILING GARAGE DOOR OPENERS PUT YOUR GARAGE DOOR AT RISK FOR FAILURE
GARAGE DOOR OPENERS ARE BUILT WITH SENSITIVITY SETTINGS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO ALERT YOU OF POTENTIAL PROBLEMS. OLDER OPENERS MADE IT REALLY EASY TO ADJUST THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER “FORCE” SETTINGS.
THE OPENER FORCE SETTINGS SHOULD NEVER BE TURNED UP IN ORDER TO OVERCOME A PROBLEM WITH THE GARAGE DOOR THAT SHOULD BE RESOLVED WITH A GARAGE DOOR SERVICE OR REPAIR, BUT HOME OWNERS AND UN- PROFESSIONAL GARAGE DOOR TECHNICIANS ALIKE USED THE FORCE SETTINGS AS A QUICK FIX TO COVER UP A BIGGER PROBLEMS.
ULTIMATELY PUTTING THE ENTIRE GARAGE DOOR SYSTEM AT RISK FOR SEVERE FAILURE SUCH AS A GARAGE DOOR OFF TRACK SITUATION.
NEW GARAGE DOOR OPENERS HAVE ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM. WHILE STILL EASY TO ADJUST THE SETTINGS IN THE OPENER WHEN NEEDED IT IS HARDER THAN JUST A THOUGHTLESS TURN OF A SCREW DRIVER.
GARAGE DOOR AND GARAGE DOOR OPENER MANUFACTURING COMPANIES RECOMMEND PROFESSIONAL GARAGE DOOR AND OPENER SERVICE AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR.
IF YOU HAVE AN OPENER THAT IS OLDER THAN 10 YEARS A NEW OPENER COULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO REMOVE THE RISK ASSOCIATED WITH OLDER OPENERS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY OR PROPERLY.

Garage Door Off Track Situations above Stage 5 are Almost Always Caused By The Home Owner Trying To Fix The Garage Door Problem Themselves.
How do Customers prevent a Garage Door Off Track Condition? Garage door service and regular maintenance can prevent Garage Doors From Coming “Off Track. Garage Doors Service and Garage door inspection Should Be done twice a year according to most manufactures. A Professional Garage Door Service should be done any time
