A recent consumer survey conducted by the International Door
Association (IDA), the world’s largest association of professional garage
door and access systems dealers and installers, indicates that the majority
of Americans are unaware of recommended maintenance for the largest and
heaviest moving object in their home - the garage door.
“A broken garage door can be an inconvenience in terms of
access. But a broken and falling garage door or busted spring can be
downright dangerous.” Homeowners should consider regular maintenance of their
garage doors to avoid dangerous safety issues and unexpected expenses. Some
tasks are DIY, but others are best left to qualified professionals.
”An annual garage door and opener inspection performed by a
professional can help make certain that a home’s garage door operating system
continues to function as it’s meant to. For a nominal inspection fee, a
professional can recognize a small problem and remedy it before it becomes a
large problem.”
